Lafayette Center

Lafayette Center sits in a spot with views of Mount Lafayette and provides healthcare and support for older adults who need skilled nursing care, assisted living, or other help with daily life, and this place is part of Genesis HealthCare, a large company that runs over 200 facilities, and it's owned for profit by an individual owner. The center has 72 certified beds, with some likely available in June 2025, and offers several room types like studios, semi-private, and two-bedroom options, with a studio apartment costing about $3,030 a month, plus other fees for community entrance, respite stays, and different care needs, and payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private pay, Social Security, veterans' benefits, and private insurance. People who live here get help with bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, hygiene, grooming, and moving between bed and wheelchair, and the staff's around 24 hours to watch out for issues, handle emergencies, and assist with mobility-this includes care for those who have trouble walking and folks who need help checking their insulin or managing incontinence. There are services for those with memory needs, like Alzheimer's or complex health problems, and the staff can do everything from medication management and wound care to intravenous therapy and rehab, with a focus on things like screening, nutrition, behavior checks, and working with outside doctors. The building has wheelchair access, all-day dining with special diet options for allergies or diabetes, and meal plans built around nutrition using quality ingredients. Residents and their families can choose between furnished or semi-private rooms, and every room comes with basics like a phone and furniture. Indoor areas let folks gather and chat, enjoy movies, arts and crafts, or relax in the garden, and there's a 24-hour emergency call system for safety. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning services are covered, too. There's support for day-to-day living, plus services for those who need hospice, respite stays, or intermediate care, and care plans get tailored to each person whether their needs are high, medium, or low. The place is set up for both long-term living and short-term rehab, and offers Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) options, so that as people's needs change, the living and care options can also change. Activities encourage movement and socializing, meals help residents stay healthy, and transportation plus parking are available for when folks want or need to go somewhere.
