Key Review Excerpts

A hospital doctor gave Mom 2 days to live, on January 21st. Mom came home walking, on March 7th, thanks to the care at Lafayette.

Family member of a resident · 2025★★★★★

I was in for REHAB for 3 weeks. The staff was helpful from nurses and aids, to PT and OT. The was great0 i loved the variety in soups and entrees, and for me for the most part it was very filling.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

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. We have added some services such as additional housekeeping and medication management at a reasonable added cost.
