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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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 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.
