Holy Redeemer Lafayette

RR

My aunt has been living in independent living in Holy Redeemer Lafayette for a year and a half. She has a one-bedroom apartment with a galley kitchen and her own bath. She is eligible for one meal a day and she usually has her dinner delivered. She enjoys the movies they have a few nights a week. They have a large lobby with a library and a small store, a hairdresser, and a bank open two days a week. A girl comes in once a week to vacuum and clean the bathroom and kitchen. They have an exercise room located right on my aunt's floor with a treadmill, bicycle, and arm exerciser. They just got new management in the kitchen so the food went down hill, but they're trying to get someone else to come in there and manage their dining room. The facility is good, clean, and navigable, and their housekeeping and security staff are always professional and pleasant. Overall, it's a good place for seniors. They have crossword puzzle and trivia games and a bus that will take them to department stores and supermarkets that are not too far away. It's very expensive at almost $2,780 a month.

The Lafayette was very nice. The arrangement that they had for passage from full capability to disability for dementia or some other kind of disability seemed to be a bit constricted. Overall, I thought it was very nice if you were in good health and could take advantage of all the activities there, but if not, it seemed you would be constricted to a separate area for people who had some level of disability. The staff was very nice and very friendly. There were some people with rooms that had a view of the park, but not all of the rooms had a view. Residents were nice enough to let people wander through their apartments. The food service was like a buffet after the tour, which had what seemed like good-quality food.

I moved my parents to Lafayette-Redeemer. The staff is very good. They're in independent living, so they basically have their own apartment, and they keep them very busy. There's plenty of activities right on their campus and a lot of times they don't have to leave their building, which is good because they're older and not driving. The food is decent, and my parents are very happy and comfortable and that's all that my siblings and I care about. The food is mediocre at best, but it's nutritious, and they like it and that's really the most important thing. It's a very decent place. It's not 5-star, but it's very comfortable and nice. The staff is incredible. It needs a little updating in certain places, but their apartment was completely renovated with a new kitchenette and my folks are very happy there. I don't have a bad word to say about the staff, and the residents there are all nice. The place is great. It's in a park-like setting, and it's very nice.

My mother and father are going to The Lafayette-Redeemer, which is a big facility. They have apartments, and they are in the middle of renovating. The kitchen area is open. The floors are hardwood and laminated. It is one of the most appealing places that we had been to in a long time. The staff are very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. They have an exercise program, bowling, games like Jeopardy, concerts, Catholic mass three times a week, and shopping trips and activities where they go to casino, galas, and restaurants. They gave us lunch. I had the chicken sandwich, and it was delicious. My mother and father had the hamburger, and that was good; the ice cream was good as well. There wasn't anything bad about it. It is right next to a wooded area where people take walks, and there is a playground across the street. It is a very accessible area, not congested, and open. It is beautiful in the summertime.

I’ve been living in La Fayette for six months. It is very nice, roomy, and comfortable. The apartments are a good size and very nicely laid out. The people working there are wonderful, very nice, and outgoing. There are lots of activities. There’s entertainment at night, games throughout the week, and there are trips, which are very nice as well. The dining facilities are very nice. It’s a big dining room, and most of the time the food is very good.

The Lafayette-Redeemer started as an assisted living facility. Then it changed to personal care and dropped all activities, so they weren't able to meet my dad's needs. It was fine as an assisted living facility. You could choose off a menu. There was a country club atmosphere at the dining area. They had white tablecloths and brought people in for entertainment. But they didn't make an effort to take the personal care patients down to see everything. So unless they made a special stop on my dad's floor, there wasn't much other than TV to get.

My mother lived here for around 5 years before she passed away. I enjoyed visiting her because it was clear to me that the facility was well-maintained and that the residents were well-cared for. I recall that they had movie events where they would show movies to the residents, as well as performers of many different kinds. My son was part of a local association of young magicians when he was younger and they performed at the home. I visited her room many times and the staff made sure that her living space was kept clean. There were rooms for the residents to meet each other, to talk, and to play games and piano if they wanted to. Every floor had its own garbage disposal chute and she was never in pain. When she needed medical assistance, she never had to wait and it was always of very high quality. The nurses genuinely did a good job whenever they were needed.

This is a very larger facility, it can be very easy to get lost. Once you know where you are going it does get easier. They have many activities for the residents to do. The building is very well taken care of and is keep clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Over all this is a great place to live if you ask me.
