“My mother recently celebrated her 1 yr anniversary living in the Independent section of Lafayette. Her apartment is a good size and has everything she needs. We have added some services such as additional housekeeping and medication management at a reasonable added cost. The staff is caring, attentive and they communicate very well. We couldn't be happier with the entire community.”

There workers don’t hate on temporary workers.. & Try & wait for them t…”
