Great staff. Would recommend
We like the staff the most-everyone has been very helpful and kind. Sometimes the food selection is the same offerings for several days. I think they could offer a few more options for activities but for the most part we have been very satisfied.

“The ONLY Place For Mom or Dad”
The time came when my dad could no longer live alone... I started searching for memory care facilities in Lafayette & the surrounding areas. My very last tour was Brookdale. When I took my first step in the facility I was greeted by staff with smiles, kindness & compassion. As Sara was showing me around, every single staff member went out of their to welcome me & introduce themselves! The residents were so happy whether they were involved in an activity, or in an area just chatting, EVERYONE was having fun! They have their very own hair Salon, Library, Gym, Gourmet Chef plus, so much more just for the residents! They go on shopping trips every week for their Assisted Living Residents. They have live bands for entertainment! It's phenomenal! Remember that saying, “save the best for last” that's an understatement! Brookdale is absolutely, most definitely the ONLY place for my Dad! The staff at Brookdale are so kind, caring, loving, compassionate & devoted to all of residents!!

Review for Brookdale Lafayette
My mom is really enjoying her time at Brookdale. I am SO thankful you suggested this facility. It was not even on my radar to check it out. The 1st place we visited felt very cold and institutional. Brookdale feels warm and homey. The staff have been very friendly and helpful. Mom loves the food and is very actively participating in activities each day. We are so happy with the care she is getting. Highly recommend Brookdale!

our family's experience, would not recommend, has room for improvement.
Areas of improvement - Repairing things in the rooms that are broken, taking broken items out of the room and not leave in the bedroom closet (for residents' safety), not ask the family member if they're coming to see about resident because "it's been a headache", be able to handle new residents that are combative and not comfortable staying yet, not sure about the meals, activities obviously didn't keep my mom busy enough. The overall experience was a nightmare for us. She got there Monday and by Thursday they had called the cops on her and sent her to the hospital before I could get there to check on her. Once at the hospital, they wouldn't let me see her and drugged her up, then sent her to a behavioral hospital. She came back home all bruised up... it was horrible.

A Great Place for Your Loved Ones
My mother has been a resident in Clare Bridge (memory care) for almost 3 years. It had been a wonderful experience for her and our family. She is more active and healthier now than when she lived home alone. Her days are filled with various activities (exercise, bingo, puzzles, games, music, ice cream socials or just visiting with friends ) Many Fridays you can see the Brookdale bus at Holy Cross Church for Mass. Several times a month they go to a local restaurant for lunch. We have also gone to several museums in the area. Our favorite activity is just a joy ride to get some fresh air and stop for a little sweet treat. Brookdale also has planned “Family Fun” days that bring together families members of all ages for a few hours of entertainment. Once you walk through the doors you feel at home. It is well cleaned and decorated for the season. The care takers are very attentive and loving. It has been a great place for my mom. I hope it will be a great place for your loved one also.

Perfect Setting for Mom
Mom was living with us for 2 1/2 years before moving into Brookdale and as much as we tried we knew she wasn't receiving enough socialization and exercise. Since moving into Brookdale, she is stronger, happier, and has made so many great friends.

Brookdale Lafayette - A Great Place For Your Loved One!
My mother has been a resident of Clare Bridge (memory Care) for over 2 years. Her health is so much better now than when she moved in. 3 good meals, a day, snacks, exercise, and a medical staff always checking to make sure she is ok. The activities/outings are well planned out and FUN! Family members are always encouraged to come and participate with their loved ones. The caregivers are kind and well attentive to her needs. The building is always cutely decorated for each season/holiday. It is always clean and well maintained. Have things been perfect...no, but what I love about Brookdale Lafayette is that they listen and quickly address and correct the issue.

Would Definitely Recommend
I really like the fact that Brookdale offers little apartments for both memory care and assisted living (without a kitchen for memory care, for safety reasons). You can decorate however you want, and it just feels so homey. The facility's décor has kind of an old antique-y look to it, which feels more comfortable to much of the older generation that they serve. The care is good for what it is - keeping in mind it's not a skilled nursing facility. You still need a GP to manage your loved one's care. Brookdale does have a doctor that makes rounds there if you would like to use him. But we preferred ours. The staff take such good care of our family and are very caring. They get to know their residents. They make sure the residents are up and about. And they go out of their way to accommodate. We are very thrilled with the way they treat our family. It has turned out much, much better than we anticipated.

Not Good for Memory Care
My mother is currently in the memory care unit. She picked this place out but I don't think she realized how different the memory care is from the rest of the facility. The unit is locked to prevent wandering. But all the activities are going on in the assisted living side. The people in the memory unit are not allowed to go to the activities. The staff there are overworked and they don't know how to de-escalate dementia patients. They argue with them which creates problems. You would think they would have more expertise with alzheimerrs and demential but I don't see it.

Everything with Brookdale Lafayette was fine. She had a good experience while she was here. I did not visit much, but her son went a lot and said things looked good. It seemed like she always had a lot of activities to participate in. It was a great value for the money. I would recommend to others looking.

The assisted living side seemed to be very good, staff and residents were extremely friendly. My dad was in the memory care unit and the night time staff to resident ratio was not very good. It ended up not being a good fit because my dad needed more care than they were able to provide.

The Executive Group Sincerely Shows That They Want Our Loved One There
It is good to have a community with a memory care unit close to where you live. There is an assisted living for non memory care and memory care unit. It seems like a dichotomy of the way the residents are provided with for services. The assisted living has two patio areas and swings to visit with relatives and other residents.. The memory care area has one courtyard with no grass and they have plants. This can make it hard for the memory care residents who are used to being outside. Our family member is used to having food cooked a certain way. The food is never hot when my loved one receives their food. The choices that my loved one will eat is limited.

We chose Brookdale Lafayette at the time because of the location, the cleanliness, and the friendliness of the staff members and the way we were treated during our tour. Every time we ate with him the food was very good, he really enjoyed the food and always cleaned his plate. The room sizes here were great, he could not believe that he had that much space to himself. I would definitely recommend and already have.
