Brookdale Lafayette offers both Residential Care Home living and a dedicated Memory Care program, giving families two levels of support under one roof. Residents with moderate dementia receive structured daily routines, cognitive engagement, and behavior monitoring tailored to their needs. Short-term respite stays are available, and the community coordinates on-site physical therapy as well as diabetes management to help residents regain or maintain function without leaving the building.
Around-the-clock nursing staff, including an awake night shift, manage wound care, medication administration, incontinence services, and hospice coordination. Occupational and physical therapists work on-site, and a visiting podiatrist addresses foot health. The team provides full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they accommodate transfers for walkers, wheelchairs, and residents who need standby supervision. A secured courtyard supports safe outdoor access for Memory Care residents.
Apartment layouts may include a kitchenette for light meal preparation, although not every unit has the same features. Rooms are designed for accessibility, and housekeeping plus laundry and dry-cleaning services help residents maintain a tidy living space without added effort.
Three chef-prepared meals are served daily with all-day dining options for flexible scheduling. Menus accommodate low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets, and the staff can provide room service when needed. Guest meals are available, and special dining programs ensure residents with diabetes or other health conditions receive the appropriate nutrition.
Community amenities include a barber and beauty shop, library, internet access, game room with a piano, fireside living room, landscaped grounds with communal gardens, and a community room that can be reserved for private events. On-site religious services and flat-screen TVs in common areas add further convenience and entertainment.
