Lafayette Manor offers several types of care in one place, and you'll see folks come here straight from the hospital for short-term rehabilitation services, when they're not quite ready to manage at home yet, and then you've got those who need more long-term nursing help, since it's a Skilled Nursing Facility too, which means they do skilled nursing, nursing home care, and intermediate levels for people who need a lot of help every day, and they also support folks who need memory care, adult care home services, assisted and independent living all under one roof. Lafayette Manor has 50 certified beds and usually houses an average of 38 residents per day, and they accept Medicaid and Medicare, which a lot of folks find important. They've got nurse staffing at 4.56 hours per resident per day-above the state average-and round-the-clock staff on call, though they have a nurse turnover rate of 56.9%, which is higher than the state average. You'll find amenities like a community room, a movie theater, a game room, and even a library, and they've added features like a fitness room, walking paths, outdoor gardens, and wellness/spa spaces, with daily activities, resident-run groups, and music or arts programs on the calendar most days, plus a chef handles meal preparation for dining room meals, with special diet help for folks with diabetes or allergies, and access to snacks. The rooms come with private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenette, telephone, Wi-Fi, and basic furnishings, and there's move-in coordination for new arrivals, while transport and parking are available too. Lafayette Manor has support and referrals for home care, home health, and hospice, and there's medication management, help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, supervision for those with non-ambulatory needs, and emergency alert systems in every room. It's managed by Lisa Black, Julie Chikowski, and Stephanie Crowther, and Lafayette County owns the facility outright.
However, it's important to mention that Lafayette Manor's history isn't spotless-there've been challenges and deficiencies, particularly around infection prevention and pressure ulcer care, and their survey from December 12, 2024, lists 13 deficiencies, with one tied to infection control, and in the last three years, they've racked up 52 deficiencies, 6 of which involve infection. The staff have had violations about protecting residents from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, though no immediate jeopardy was found; the level was marked as actual harm. Federal standards about infections apply here, and there have been several standard and complaint-based reports in the past 36 months. Lafayette Manor matches its care types to fit different needs and offers a lot of spaces and programs, but its record for consistent quality has had its ups and downs, so it pays to look closely and ask the staff questions about recent improvements if you're thinking of moving in or bringing a loved one.
