I'm super happy with the care my mom is receiving here. Meeran has gone above and beyond, working with my mom's medical specialists to make sure she has the medications and support she needs to be well. The staff is really sweet, patient, and caring. They have worked hard to win my mom's trust and she is not especially easy to please. Meeran is very warm, compassionate, and communicative. We feel really lucky to have found a home for my mom at Lafayette Gardens.

Please think twice before placing your loved one at Lafayette Gardens. My mother was there for about 8 months. The caregivers are sweet and do their best but because English is not their first language communication was difficult. Communication was a big problem. My mother was under hospice care so any information came from them. Not the facility. The manager, Meeran , was not a very warm person. A mistake in her business. It was all about the bottom line with her. $$$$
I just have to give one example to show that--
My daughter and I had made our last visit to see my mother

My grandfather was admitted into this care home and the care givers did an amazing job and took care of all of his needs and beyond. The care home has excellent care givers and the owner, Meeran provided outstanding service. I felt very comfortable and satisfied that my grandfather was in the right hands and was being taken care of with superb care. The care home was exceptionally clean and sanitized and the overall environment was very homely.
