The Lafayette community receives mixed reviews from residents and their families. Many appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, spacious and appealing apartments, and a variety of activities such as bingo, exercise classes, and movie nights. The facility's transportation service and proximity to family are also highlighted as positives. Some residents enjoy the social atmosphere and the opportunity to personalize their living spaces. However, there are significant concerns about the dining services, with frequent complaints about small portions, poor food quality, and understaffed dining rooms. Maintenance issues, particularly with plumbing and electrical systems, are also noted, as the facility is over 40 years old. Some reviewers mention misleading information during the move-in process and ineffective management, leading to unresolved concerns and poor communication. The facility is undergoing renovations, which some see as a positive step, although others feel critical areas like plumbing and electrical systems remain unaddressed. The Lafayette is considered affordable and offers a range of amenities, including a library, hair salon, and communal laundry facilities. Despite its drawbacks, some residents and families would recommend The Lafayette for its affordability, friendly community, and overall pleasant living experience. However, others are actively seeking alternative facilities due to ongoing issues.

As of January 2, 2025, all residents will no longer have their meals included in their rent, but will have to pay for them in the current dining room with either cash or credit card. The dining room has been converted into a restaurant and bar. Only lunch and dinner will be served, and the menu will not change, unlike the current meals. Each entree, dessert, and drink will be charged a la carte. Price points given to the current residents range from $10 to $25 per person, per meal, depending upon what is ordered. This decision reflects on the parent company and not the staff, which are friendly and caring. It has caused many current residents, and their families, financial and mental distress, forcing them to scramble for solutions in the short notification time given. My family will be sad to leave due to the financial strain and limited nutritional value being offered to our elder generation.
