Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette

Reviewer#JM030924b

Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette was good. The people were pretty nice. They gave me a lot of information that's going to be helpful. The rooms were nice. They were like little apartments. The staff was great and very helpful. They had a little outdoor space and a little gazebo for people to go outside. It was more expensive, a little fancier, and more decorated.

Our experience with Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette was excellent. John was phenomenal. We spoke about an hour, then we toured the facility. The rooms were great, really nice, and very comfortable. It was a joy to walk and see the people out moving around. They were having lunch and everybody knew who John was. It's a new place, so it looked good. John spoke highly of all of his people. You could tell when he walked to the back that they were all very close to each other, and they work well together. It was really a nice place. It's only like five minutes from my house, too. We saw the menu and John talked about the chef. It was a Sunday, so it was kind of low key, and he said most of them were on lockdown because they had a few pneumonias going around, so it wasn't busy and he addressed that. We did catch the residents all in the cafeteria where they were eating, and they had some family members in there with them. It's cozy, because it's a small enough place that they can deal with their patients. The boards on the outside with the videos running the whole time were really nice. It was an excellent tour. We didn't have to ask many questions because John went over everything, even about us, the family. He could relate to where we were because he had already done it with his parents. He knew what to tell us and how to go about things, and gave us some good information. He was very informative. It's topnotch. It was like a five-star hotel. The whole place was really nice. The lady at the front was really nice. We had to check in and she was prompt at getting John to come out.

I toured Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette. I really thought that it was really pretty, very well set up, and very clean. They offer a lot of different activities for the residents, and I found the staff that I met to be very friendly, and they answered all my questions. It seemed like some of the apartments were more expensive than others, and it almost seemed like they were dividing the residents up based on what they could pay. They had a salon, a TV room, and an activity room.

I toured Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette's assisted living. It's very pretty and very spacious. You just got the sense that you are in a hotel. It's one of the newer ones in Lafayette. The rooms have granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. They had a good-sized kitchen in it too. The main bedroom was walled off, it had a door and it was a good size too. If I had to make a guess, I'd say it was probably 10 by 12. You had a little sitting area or a living room area off the kitchen. The bathroom was huge and very accommodating to a wheelchair, very nicely decorated, and plush. It had a kind of an art deco atmosphere throughout the facility. You could tell it was a corporation because it had a lot of oil paintings of saxophones and things like that. The dining area was very nice, it had very large glass, and light fixtures. The tables were spaced out well. It's off of the main lobby so it makes you think of a fancy hotel. They had very well-kept grounds with nice sitting areas. It was all on one level and some rooms had doors that went out to a patio area where they kept their plants and little benches. They did say that all had to be uniform in design and colors since it was on the outside of the building. The staff seemed very professional and well-rehearsed. The man who toured us kind of reminded me of a used car salesman. He did say we could come back and eat lunch with him next week. My mother just wasn't comfortable there. She said, "Oh, no. I could not run and scoot around in my wheelchair. I don't think they would like that either. I might make marks on the floor." There were a lot of polished and porcelain floors so it looked very fancy. The residents were having a demonstration of American Indian cultures while we were there. We were in the lobby and that was occurring in the dining room and they had some people in there, dressed as American Indians, dancing. They started talking about food and things like that while we waited for the salesperson.

My mother-in-law will be moving into Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette. It is the best one. The facility is beautiful and well-kept. It is small, so there's not a lot of walking. The staff was very caring and very knowledgeable. The facility was very clean. The decor is very positive, bright, and comfortable. They have a courtyard, salon, exercise, art classes, ministry, restaurant, laundry facility, and maid service twice a week. They have pretty much everything you can imagine, and it's wonderful. You get what you pay for, so it's more expensive. They will deliver food to my mother-in-law's room at no extra charge. She gets three full meals a day. When the kitchen wasn't open, there was always something else that could be accessed, like snacks or cereal at any time of the day, so that was a big deal. They have medication management. Everything was carpeted and very comfortable to walk around. This place is honestly like an all-inclusive resort. They have happy hour every day, and all of this is included. They don't have to pay for anything. They do have to pay for the salon and cable.
