The Lafayette Rocks!
The staff of the Lafayette is OUTSTANDING! They really care about the residents and are very polite and helpful, always! From my first contact with the person who helped me through the application process and selecting a unit, to the WONDERFUL concierge staff and the front desk people - who are all AWESOME - I could not have asked for a better experience or an easier transition for my parent. I would recommend the Lafayette to anyone, without any reservations or qualifications, if you are looking for a welcoming, friendly, warm, caring and professionally staffed community.

Amazing community, Autumn Dominiski is the cream of the crop
It's beautiful and the foods to die for, I couldn't make it any better. My aunt's comment in the first letter that she wrote to me was about the food. They are friednly, courteous, helpful and they listen. The person I dealt with mostly was the marketing director and she's basically the reason that we decided to go to The Lafayette; she was the one that picked up on my aunt's macular degeneration problem and she was the one that said they have a reading machine and they have peopel that come in to work with their sight deficient people and that was a big reason, my aunt is now reading the newspaper and she doesn't need to work a walker, her mind is back. I think the thing that made her happier than anything was when she goes downstairs, they know her name. These folks socialize, you meet all sorts of people, the residents are great. I couldn't be more pleased, it is a real blessing.
