I visited this facility

The Lafayette was very nice. I think that would have been my loved one's second choice. The woman who showed us around, Pam, is sweet and very knowledgeable. The place is clean. The other thing I liked was that you could go from independent, then a step-down, and then it was total care, so you didn't have to leave anywhere. The people were very nice. They had a lot of activities available. They had a dining room. It was very well kept. The staff was very nice. They work hard.

a beautiful, caring senior community.

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 kn…

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.
