BeeHive Homes of Lafayette is a dedicated Memory Care community equipped to manage residents who wander or elope, display combative or other behavioral issues, remain up all night, or live with advanced dementia. The team is trained to care for diabetics using oral medication, insulin injections, or a sliding-scale regimen, ensuring blood-sugar monitoring and intervention are handled on-site. Residents have access to visiting podiatrists and audiology services, and the community is willing to accept individuals with psychiatric conditions when appropriate.
Continuous oversight is supported by an RN or LPN, with an awake night shift and a nurse on site 24 hours a day. Background-checked staff respond to pull-cord alerts, while alarmed doors, fenced outdoor space, and round-the-clock security reduce exit-seeking risks. An activity director adapts programs for cognitive abilities. Full assistance can be provided for bathing, dressing, and toileting; eating support is available for those able to self-feed. Mobility needs are met with standby help, one-person transfers, and accommodation of walkers and wheelchairs.
Living quarters at BeeHive Homes include private bathrooms, individual climate controls, cable connections, and the option to personalize wall colors, though not every suite has every feature. A kitchenette is available in select units for light meal prep, and routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry help maintain a clean environment.
Dining offers both set menus and made-to-order selections, with gluten-free and other physician-directed modifications honored. Three daily meals are served in the communal dining room, but in-room service can be arranged when a resident is unwell or prefers privacy. Snacks are accessible throughout the day, and a private dining area can be reserved for family visits or special occasions.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet service, and a barber and beauty shop. A concierge assists with daily requests, and scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments.
