Key Review Excerpts
“Lafayette Nursing Home isn't a high dollar, affluent place. But, it is clean and neat, everyone is friendly, and everyone treats the patients and family with respect and dignity.”
“No empathy, concern, advice, guidance, or care in the world. Been working on securing a suitable nursing home for my 83 y/o Mama since Nov 2023 unbeknownst of how excruciatingly difficult it would be. Lies, deception, shad”
“Great small town nursing home. Great staff and clean facility”

The facility has faced recurring issues with fire safety systems, infection control programs, and administrative oversight. Most concerning were past problems with nursing staffing levels and wound care management. However, the pattern suggests improvement over time, with the most recent 2022 survey focusing primarily on building safety rather than direct care issues.
