I can’t say enough wonderful things about The Lafayette. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home. The staff are exceptional, the residents are vibrant and kind, and the sense of community is unmatched. One of my favorite touches is their resident-led welcome club, which helps new residents settle in and feel part of the family right away. The events and outings offer something for everyone, whether you want to stay active or simply enjoy good company. And the food? Absolutely amazing. As someone who visits many senior living communities across Lexington doing hair, I can confidently say The Lafayette stands out as the best”hands down.

My grandmother has lived at the Lafayette now for almost a year. She recently fell and had to do a short term rehab stay at the building next door (Lexington Country Place) and it was convenient because the two buildings are connected. This gave her comfort because she felt like she was still close to home and if she needed anything we could walk over to her apartment and get it for her. She is now returned and is receiving exceptional care with meals being delivered and people checking on her regularly. She is always impressed by the food and the smiling staff that delivers it to her. She is also receiving the facility’s’ own therapy- which is conveniently located onsite. Everything that this community has to offer helps her and our family feel that she is safe and supported no matter the outcome. It truly is a great place to live!! She is so happy that she is always looking to recruit others to live here as well.

I have been deeply impressed with this facility. The staff and residents have been very friendly and helpful during the tour and subsequent move-in. And did enjoy dinner I had at the facility. It’s been a positive experience for us.

I can't say enough good things about the Lafayette! Moving my aunt here was one of the best decisions we've made. I had a great experience touring the community and they really took their time to answer all of my questions. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, always making sure she feels comfortable and supported. The facility is spotless, well maintained and truly feels like home. The sense of community is wonderful, and my aunt has already made some great friends. I know my family made the right decision. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming, and reliable independent living community I highly recommend the Lafayette!

I have lived at the Lafayette for four and a half years. Have always felt safe and staff is very caring. Activities are geared to senior living and a resident may become involved or sit by the sidelines, your choice. One can make friends easily. Family is close and are always welcome.

Amazing community with exceptional care

I have lived at The Lafayette Senior Living for four years now. I love it! The community is so welcoming and friendly. I love my apartment which fits my needs perfectly. There is a little park behind the building where I can walk in nature and hear the birds. The Lafayette is conveniently situated to all the places I want to go: My church, my favorite stores, my doctors and my favorite restaurant. If it’s time for the next step in your life, give The Lafayette a look. We are very welcoming!

Beginning in 2025, meals are no longer included in the rent prices. The dining room is being converted into a restaurant, where residents will have to pay per item, per meal. Price ranges from $10 to $25 each meal, depending upon what is ordered from the fixed menu, and limited nutritional value. Only lunch and dinner will be available. This unfortunate, out-of-state, corporate decision is not reflective of the caring, local staff. Many residents, and their families, have expressed financial concerns and mental distress with this change. My mother and my family love it here, but due to the new financial constraints this corporate decision has caused, we're having to look elsewhere for a better fit.

My mother has lived at The Lafayette for about 3 years. She enjoys the warmth, comfort, and security provided by a wonderful and caring staff. I recommend The Lafayette highly.

The Lafayette feels like my home away from home, and I like that feeling. Over the years my home was a place for me to hide in, laugh or cry in, work or be lazy in, and still be right for me. I guess it is what I bring to it “ a good part of me which I can share if and when I wish.
October 2022
When I started looking for a senior living facility for my Mom, I contacted Dana Patterson (Community Relations Director) at The Lafayette. My wife had previously worked with Dana when my mother-in-law was at The Lafayette. Dana gave my Mom and I a tour of the facility and showed us the Studio and 1 bedroom apartments. After discussing with my Mother, we told Dana we were pretty sure we wanted the Studio unit, but wanted more time to think on it. Dana never pressured us to make a decision, nor did she try to persuade us to the more expensive 1 bedroom unit. I appreciated the no pressure approach. My Mom is the widow of a World War II veteran. I noticed in the Lafayette packet information that my wife had previously brought home details about VA assistance for spouses of veterans. Being on a tight fixed income, getting this VA assistance was key to my Mom being able to live at the Lafayette. I initiated the call to the number in the packet for Elder Benefits Consulting and worked with one of that company’s consultants to prepare the necessary paperwork for my Mom to submit a claim to the VA for spousal benefits. Cindy Jones (Executive Director) had no hesitation signing the required papers that I submitted to the VA, and was very willing to review and discuss the paperwork with me. With Cindy’s help, Mom got approved for Entitlement to Survivors pension with entitlement to aid and attendance benefits. Please explore this option if you are a veteran or spouse of a Veteran on a tight fixed income and are looking at moving to the Lafayette (or any other Senior or Assisted living facility). Now that my Mom has been at The Lafayette for 5 years, I feel very comfortable about giving this review. My Mom loves living at the Lafayette. I ask her quite often if she is still happy, and she always replies I love it here, and here is where I need to be. The staff and residents are extremely nice and helpful to my Mom and have made her feel right at home. I will not mention the Lafayette staff either by department or by individual name for fear of leaving a department or employee out. The entire staff is friendly, helpful and most important to me CARES. I am at the Lafayette an average of 4 to 5 times a week to spend time with my Mom. No matter who is working, the staff always greets me with smiles and are willing to help my Mom or me at any time. The staff has also been so friendly and helpful to other relatives who have visited Mom. On more than one occasion, a member of the staff has actually walked them to Mom’s apartment. Members of my family who have visited Mom at the Lafayette all have glowing things to say about how friendly and helpful the staff are, and that my Mom is fortunate to be able to live at the Lafayette. This is the perfect place for my Mom and makes it possible for her to continue to live independently. I love the staff/management and how they look out for the residents. As her son, the staff always treats me with respect. I love how The Lafayette promotes a family atmosphere. This is so important for all the residents, the majority who are elderly. To all the more than 100 residents at The Lafayette who read this, understand that no place will please 100% of its residents all of the time. I only ask that you be patient with the staff, and appreciate this wonderful place that my Mom and you have to live in.
