a beautiful, caring senior community.

The concern and warm attention to each resident and their guest is remarkable. I was very impressed by the great meals and flexibility you offer. The facility itself is very clean, well maintained, decorative, great lighting, comfortable areas to talk to friends and family outside and inside . The numerous game areas, on each floor, are so appropriate for medium and small group activities. Additional many scheduled daily group activities with other residents are so imperative for physical and social wellbeing. I know the ability to get transportation upon request is so important for the sake of independence.

Grandmother lives at Lafayette

My grandmother has lived at The Lafayette for over a year. I think that living there has increased her independence and ability to be more social, as she was living alone in her home before. The Lafayette’s activities and programs are amazing and keep her involved more than ever before. All the other services are superb and I would recommend The Lafayette to others.

The staff know all the residents personally and cater to every need you may have. I cannot think of a better place to be in my age, I’m no spring chicken. I even got to bring my cat. Would highly recommend this facility. My mom even lived here.

Feels like home

Whenever I want or need something, no one tells me no. It’s always a yes or let’s figure it out. The therapy offered within the building is exceptional, all three of the therapists have met all my needs.

I enjoy living here immensely

Living here gives me a smashing sense of security and community like I have never had before. It helps me to combat my Geoff Deaton Syndrome which was caused by being at a certain child daycare which no longer exists.

Friendly and caring staff everywhere.

The facility is very clean. The staff is friendly, helpful, and caring. I've seen many residents interacting with them and they are always eager to help them. They always have activities that are going on all the time to keep the residents engaged. The restaurant provides chef specials everyday along with standard menu items to select from. I've eaten at this place multiple times and the food has always been good with a nice portion size. I've come by at least a dozen times in the last few months. And I've never seen any issues or problems during each visit. I've already told my children that when the time comes this is the place that I would like to stay myself.

My grandma moved here so she could be closer to family. So I found this place by hearing about it/finding this place on the internet. Ever since she moved here she loves it with friendly staff, and residents. I’ve never seen her happier.

The Lafayette is my Home. !!

I have lived at the Lafayette for almost 3.5 years. When I visited /toured The Lafayette, after doing the same at three other communities, I felt a sense of excitement and peace at the same time, as I realized this could be my new home. My son was with me, and we came back with my daughter-in-law for another tour. The folks at the front desk were so welcoming, and I talked with one friendly resident & employee after another, after another.......happy faces & inviting words? The facility felt safe to me. My apartment is perfect, though a little lean on closet space. I was informed about housekeeping, maintenance, dining, &. activities; It became apparent to me that I have the chance to make new friends, socialize, even help others be happy here at the LAFAYETTE. I am never bored here. While food is good most of the time & I do get annoyed at times about things, I know I have good friends to care for & share my time with. I actually LOVE calling this my home!!!!

Great place to live and work

I am an outside caregiver that comes in to help some of the residents. As I am going through the halls and talking with people I am really liking what I’m seeing and hearing. I have actually said more than a few times that when I get older if I need a place to go I would come here to live. It is always clean and well ran, even when mishaps happen within an hour they have a solution and all of the residents are aware. Any resident I talk to talks highly of this place as well, it runs really good. The kitchen also always smells amazing and gives their residents a lot of great choices, sometimes I’m tempted to ask for some. Overall I would recommend this place to work at, with, and live at as well.

Nice place to live

They would all be 5 except maybe a 4 for management. Overall very good. The apartments are spacious, walls are concrete so no sound issues, 10 ft ceilings. Follow through is sometimes lacking. I have met several newcomers and they are still coming.
