Benton House of Covington is an assisted-living community that places medical support at the center of its resident services. In addition to routine assistance with daily activities, the community offers respite or short-term stays for those recovering from hospital visits or when family caregivers need relief. Residents with diabetes benefit from monitoring and management programs, and on-site physician oversight streamlines coordination of care. A speech therapist is available to address communication or swallowing issues, and the mental wellness program gives residents access to counseling and structured activities that support emotional health.
Safety and rapid response are integral to the day-to-day operations. Each apartment is connected to an emergency call system that alerts staff at any hour, and the building is designed as a secured community to limit unauthorized entry or exit. A comprehensive sprinkler system is installed throughout the property, providing an added layer of protection alongside trained team members who are on duty around the clock.
Accommodation options range from studio and efficiency layouts to units with kitchenettes, decks, or balconies, but not every apartment includes every feature. Residents may choose spaces with wheelchair-accessible showers, washer and dryer hookups, or additional storage, while basic utilities, cable, Wi-Fi, and telephone service are included in the monthly fee. Shared common areas feature a central fireplace, piano or organ, library and computer lounge, and multiple outdoor spaces such as landscaped grounds, gardens, and a terrace. Cats are welcome, parking is available for those who still drive, and housekeeping services keep living areas tidy.
Dining is structured yet flexible. Three meals are prepared daily, with restaurant-style table service allowing residents to choose entrées and portion sizes. An all-day dining program ensures snacks and lighter fare are ready outside standard meal times, and menus accommodate low- or no-sodium and no-sugar diets. Guests can join residents for meals, and special occasions are often marked with barbecues or community picnics, giving families additional ways to stay connected.
Beyond essential care and housing, Benton House maintains an active schedule of programs in its activity center and library & computer lounge. Residents can join arts and crafts workshops, fitness classes, or take part in indoor and outdoor walking groups along landscaped paths. Social outings, birthday celebrations, happy hours, wine tastings, community service projects, and various clubs foster engagement and promote a balanced lifestyle. A swimming pool on campus supports low-impact exercise and recreation.
