Lafayette Gardens operates as a residential care home with a clear emphasis on clinical oversight. Residents have access to oxygen therapy, special diet management, diabetic support for those on oral medications, and age-flexible admission that includes adults under 60. The community accepts and manages advanced dementia, using an awake night staff, a fully fenced rear perimeter, and door alarms to reduce wandering risk. On-site medical resources include assisted living, independent living, and a dedicated memory-care program, backed by hospice coordination, medication management, nurses, visiting optometrists, dentists, podiatrists, occupational and physical therapists, and massage therapy. Every area of the building is designed to accommodate memory loss, ensuring a secure environment while maintaining access to specialized clinical providers.
Hands-on daily support covers full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby aid and one- or two-person transfers to full Hoyer-lift services for bed-bound residents; walkers and wheelchairs are both supported. Incontinence care and ambulatory care are part of the standard service set, and the community’s staffing structure allows round-the-clock observation and rapid response to changing medical needs.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, some equipped with cable service, though not every unit includes all features. Residents can bring personal furnishings to adapt the space to their needs. For individuals in the independent-living section, Lafayette Gardens offers medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry service, providing an extra layer of safety without sacrificing autonomy.
Dining follows a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diets, with alternatives available when medically necessary. Regular snacks are kept on hand so residents can maintain stable blood sugar levels and address between-meal hunger. Staff oversee meals for anyone requiring full assistance with eating, and dietetic oversight ensures compliance with renal, cardiac, or diabetic protocols.
Amenities include resident parking, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, and proximity to public transportation for family visits or personal errands. Pets are allowed, subject to community guidelines; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
