Majestic Care of Lafayette sits just about 2 miles from downtown Lafayette and 5 miles from Franciscan Health Lafayette East, and it's one of those bigger buildings with 122 certified beds and an average of 85 residents a day, so folks usually see a few friendly faces around but there's still room to spread out. The facility is part of Majestic Care Communities, with the licensing, certification, and inspections to show for it, and it's owned entirely by Jackson County Schneck Memorial Hospital, run by Majestic Care Of Lafayette LLC since August 2021. It provides skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and even adult care home services, so people with a range of needs-whether coming in for short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, looking for home health care, or needing routine help with daily tasks-can get that support. Room choices include studio, single-room, two-bedroom, semi-private, and private rooms, many of which come with cable TV and safety features for handicap access, plus amenity spaces like dining rooms, a fitness center, salon/barbershop, game rooms, and washers and dryers.
The care team at Majestic Care of Lafayette handles personal needs like dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, and provides walking and wheelchair support, offering special help-for instance-in wound care, medication support, podiatry, outpatient therapy, and even on-site dialysis and hospice for those tougher moments, and it's all delivered by trained, licensed professionals. The nurses have a higher turnover rate than most Indiana facilities-at 64%-and total nurse staffing hours are a bit lower than the state average, so it's something to consider for those wanting lots of nursing consistency. The facility's got a community feel with activities, crafts, education programs, and wellness events to keep residents engaged, while folks also get guidance about whether assisted living, independent living, or skilled nursing is the right choice, and they even have specialized facilities with names like Carmel Assisted Living, Saint Anthony Assisted Living, and Fairfield Assisted Living.
Majestic Care of Lafayette has transportation, guest parking, Wi-Fi, regular housekeeping and maintenance, and in-room kitchenettes around the property, all with emergency sprinkler systems for safety, and meals are provided in a common dining space. The inspection record shows a total of 44 deficiencies so far, with 3 related to infections and a recent report from October 2024 mentioning 11 current issues, including 3 tied to infection control; pharmacy service deficiencies have popped up as well, mostly around meeting residents' pharmaceutical needs and employing the proper pharmacists, and while staff have provided safe respiratory care at times, there've been some citations there too. Policies for flu and pneumonia vaccines exist, but a failure to follow through led to infection control setbacks. Still, staff focus on post-surgical services, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and have physical therapy programs made to help people heal and regain their strength, and respite care is available for up to a month for caregivers needing a break, with fully furnished rooms furnished for that time.
There's a focus on giving elders personal care, privacy-sometimes even using randomly generated usernames for safety online-and connecting families with senior care experts for planning and assessments, and the whole community runs as a for-profit corporation located close to city conveniences in Lafayette. Meals, activities, health programs, out-and-about transportation, and individualized care plans all go together to serve seniors with a range of daily living, nursing, and rehabilitation needs, and while the building's faults show up in the deficiency reports, that doesn't take away from the range of available service lines or the home-like setting the facility tries to keep up.
