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 is very caring, wonderful activities and entertainment.

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.
