Five Star Residences of Lafayette

I was in assisted living at Five Star and I had to move because they said I required too much care and was a fall risk. I fell two times and I thought that was crazy. It used to be called Rosewalk Commons, but they changed the name in the last year. It was a nice facility. I had two rooms; I had a living room and a bedroom. It was clean. The food was excellent because they had a chef that cooked. I mean, it was a good thing, and I enjoyed being there or I wouldn't have been there as long as I was. The told me, "If you stay, because you require so much care, your monthly bill will go from $7,000 to $22,000," a month. I have an insurance policy that pays for me wherever I go, but I told them they were taking advantage of that, so that's the reason I moved. They fired and hired a staff so quick, so I would give the staff a three. The food was five; it was good food. If you didn't feel like eating what they gave you they would fix something else for you. When I left, the manager that they had was a man, and I thought when he came it was very good, but I found out later he wasn't. Because of COVID, my friend tells me that they don't have activities like we used to have there. We used to have people there that would come in and play music, we played bingo, and we had different people come in and talk to us about things, and they don't have that now.

Five Star Residences of Lafayette was very nice, but a little older facility. The staff was very nice and took time to talk to us and sit down with my mother. They had an activity room, and they had kids come and sing Christmas carols to them. The dining room was nice. We had supper there, and it was good. They had a room that was too small, but it was big enough for one person. The corner room was very nice and bright.

Rosewalk Commons was very pleasant. Everyone was very friendly. It was enjoyable. The rooms were small but pleasant.

We were very impressed with Rosewalk Commons. It had a lot to offer for the price, and the people were very nice. It was immaculate, and we just really appreciated this place. It was also close to shopping and that kind of thing -- on the bus line and all that. The floor plans and the cleanliness were awesome. We looked at the apartments. One of them, they said, was a two-bedroom, and it looked more like a three-bedroom. It had an extra sun room at the back, all the carpet had been redone, and it had been repainted and had modern appliances. It was very impressive. Out of anything that I’ve ever seen, this is the best one I have ever seen.

My husband is living in Rosewalk Commons. They seem good. The people that work there are nice. He likes it. They have good food, good care, and plenty of activities. He is doing yoga and crafts. They do have bingo and movies. They have like a little movie theater there. They have a little bus that takes them out in the community and takes the residents shopping once a week. They provide transportation to doctor's appointments. My husband's room is nice. The price made me decide to move him there.

My parents have been at Rosewalk Commons for two years. I have been continually impressed with the staff who are pleasant, genuine, concerned, helpful as well as the accommodations. If a resident is in need of anything, the staff will work with them to provide for those needs. It is a clean and attractive facility. The kitchen does a good job of trying to provide for a variety of tastes and preferences. There are activities for those who wish to participate, including religious services, discussion groups, exercise and excursions. My family is very pleased with the care my parents are receiving.
