Whether your perfect day includes staying active, learning something new, getting creative, meeting new friends, or simply enjoying good conversation over a cup of coffee, we want to hear from you.

As Covington’s senior community continues to grow, we’re exploring new recreation programs, activities, and events designed with you in mind. But before we make plans, we want to learn what matters most to you.

Would you enjoy fitness or wellness classes? Day trips to local attractions? Arts and crafts? Card games? Educational presentations? Outdoor walks? Technology classes? Volunteer opportunities? Or perhaps you have an idea we haven’t even considered.
