“My Aunt Is a Nun And Has Been At This Facility For 20 Years. She Is Extremely Well -Taken Cared Of. The Staff And Her Attendants Are Gracious And Seem To Enjoy Assisting All The Residents There. I Would Recommend This Place.”

★Wayne Galbreth · 2023-12-08 · via Google

“They lost my mom's dentures, always lost the clothes and shoes. If you communicate what needs to be done, the opposite happens. Accidents are always described as not being serious. My mom had a broken elbow and hip which was described as nothing serious. I would not recommend Lafon for your loved one.”

★★★★Suette Jackson · 2020-07-10 · via Google

“Staff is wonderful. The facility is always clean and spotless. The patients are kept clean and are pleasant. Lots of activities for the residents. My mother resided there for 1.5 years. She is happy about her stay.”
