Grounds are lovely, the care is just mediocre at the memory care facility. Management does not respond to concerns to emails, supervision of staff is lacking. Cognitive and physical activities are inadequate for the residents. I moved my mother to another facility after three years of average care. Monthly fees increase about 5% a year. Dining area and meals are a plus along with caring staff Denise, Emily and Ian. Christwood Memory Care needs to fo better.

Christwood Retirement Community in Covington is such a wonderful place. One thing that really stands out is their program that allows residents to stay part of the community even as their needs change over time — that kind of peace of mind means so much. The campus and buildings are always clean and well cared for, and the recent upgrades are beautiful. Everything feels fresh and welcoming. What we love most is how many activities they offer throughout the year. They truly care about their residents and do a great job keeping everyone involved and connected. It really feels like a community, not just a place to live. Oh, and the best part is the multiple dining options that are always delicious!

If I could rate it a zero..most definitely would. Granted my loved one didn’t make it through the doors because the tour we went on was pure AWFUL!!!! Don’t be fooled by the photos or the videos. Beds are for about the size of a teenager..rooms are tiny..it’s not a very welcoming place..and the jewel Tammy who gave us the tour was in a big hurry wasn’t sympathetic to our situation and was speaking down to us…definitely not a person who needs to be in charge of anything. I wouldn’t leave my worst enemy there!!!

Christwood is more than extended care - it’s an extended family. The staff is so attentive and truly cares for the residents. There is ALWAYS something to do with various events each week: concerts, art classes, church, card games, happy hour, puzzle tables, line dancing, pickleball, and the list goes on. If you want to see your parents thrive and make new friends, Christwood is the place to go!

Christwood Retirement Community in Covington is truly a gem! From the moment you step on the beautiful grounds, you feel like you're in a resort rather than a retirement community. The independent living options are outstanding—spacious, modern apartments with all the comforts of home, paired with exceptional services. I’ve been consistently impressed by the variety of activities and social opportunities available for residents. Whether it’s fitness classes, art workshops, or the enriching cultural programs, there’s always something engaging happening. The on-site dining is fantastic—high-quality meals that cater to a variety of tastes and dietary needs. The grounds are immaculate, and it’s so refreshing to have access to walking paths, gardens, and lovely common areas to enjoy with family and friends. I also appreciate the convenience of the transportation services offered, making it easy to run errands or attend events off-site. The staff at Christwood go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels welcomed and supported. It’s a true community, filled with warm, friendly people. I can't recommend Christwood highly enough for anyone seeking a vibrant, independent lifestyle in a beautiful, caring environment.
