What this means for your family
This facility offers a beautiful environment and excellent physical therapy outcomes for many, making it a strong contender for independent living or specific rehab needs. However, families should be aware of recurring reports regarding slow response times and inconsistent staff behavior; we recommend visiting during off-hours and asking specifically about the ratio of permanent staff to temporary agency workers.

58 reviews on Google“Lafayette-Redeemer receives polarized feedback, with independent living residents often praising the beautiful apartments and community atmosphere, while rehab and nursing care families frequently report significant concerns regarding staff responsiveness and quality of care. While some families highlight life-changing physical therapy outcomes, others express deep frustration over slow response times, poor communication, and inconsistent food quality. Prospective families should carefully distinguish between the independent living experience and the higher-acuity nursing or rehab services.”

Key Review Excerpts
“Mom came home walking, on March 7th, thanks to the care at Lafayette. The Nurse Practioner, doctor, nurses and CNAs are phenomenal.”
“My mother recently celebrated her 1 yr anniversary living in the Independent section of Lafayette. Her apartment is a good size and has everything she needs. The staff is caring, attentive and they communicate very well.”
“After 21 days she was said to have made 'no improvements' so she was sent home not walking. Lo and behold 2 weeks of being home and working on it everyday she started walking again. Be prepared to wait and wait and wait for assistance.”
