Affinity at Lafayette

Everything about Affinity at Lafayette checked all my boxes that I was looking for. I toured their independent living, and it's a very caring community. The people were wonderful, and the amenities were everything that I was looking for. The people who run it are also wonderful. Even though I haven't moved in yet, it already feels like it's going to be the perfect place for me. The living space is nice with lots of storage. I had the choice of whether I wanted a garage or not. They have an indoor heated swimming pool and a hot tub. They have community meet-and-greets, too, and there's always something going on. If you don't want to be around people, that's gonna be your own choice. The staff members were wonderful. I met the two people who are leaders there, and they were amazing. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and they are very efficient and effective professionals. It was very nice, plus you could tell that they are very caring people. We make our own food as they don't cook it. We have our own kitchens, which is another thing that I liked. The facility was clean, and the people that I was introduced to were very accommodating and very nice. There are garbage chutes on the floors, and it has recycling, so they're clean and don't smell. I don't need it to be brand new to be a five-star. I just need cleanliness, neatness, and for it to be well- kept. I was able to see the rooms for the activities. They have a movie theater, a sewing room, and a game room. They have garden boxes that you can plant at the proper times. They have a beautiful library and a pool table. They have a beautiful great room where they meet and greet. They also hold birthday parties once a month, where everybody just brings a dish.

Affinity at Lafayette is a place for active independent seniors who create their own activities. It's very welcoming and supportive. The staff is very helpful. There are lots of amenities here. There's a library, a theater, a pub, craft rooms, game rooms, an indoor pool, spa, a community garden, and a happy hour every Thursday. There are movie times three times a week, exercise class, and a lot of spontaneous get-togethers. It's very friendly. When I came here, I found that there were facilities that had income restrictions, which I didn't qualify for. Then it seemed like the next thing available was over $3,000 a month, which was out of my price range. Affinity at Lafayette is just in between, which was wonderful for me because I could afford it. So, the value of money is excellent.

I like Affinity at Lafayette's location because it's kind of set back from the main street, so it's quiet. The staff seems dependable, very solid, and very thorough; I was impressed with that. I would rather just have a nice, roomy apartment with closets and a good kitchen, and no amenities at all, because we're really in that place where we don't need them now and it only adds to the rent. This place also doesn't have a meal ticket, so I'm thankful for that. The apartment is adequate, it has a nice washer and dryer, dishwasher, kitchen, and the rooms are very small, and it opens up to the living room. It matters that there are no closets. That's my only concern, that there's not a lot of closet space. They have a happy hour on Friday, and you get a glass of wine where it's free. They have a big movie theater, and it's big, as if you're going to the movies. They have a garden area where people have individual raised up plots. There's also a pool, a little library, and a room where people can do woodwork. The place itself is laid out fine. It seems like it's well run. I personally think they would have done well if they used lighter colors and more light in there. It was a little dark and did not appeal to me.

Affinity at Lafayette was really very nice. They were very cordial and gave me a tour. The only thing I wished they handled more of were local day trips, but other than that, everything seemed to work out fine. The staff was nice. They had a gym, swimming pool, whirlpool, and hot tub. The rooms were nice. They also had a little workshop and cards.

Affinity at Lafayette was a better facility for us because they don't provide meals, so it's a little bit less cost-wise, and my mother-in-law qualifies for the low income housing. The amenities were amazing. It has a full library and the staff did a very good job. They do not have food there. The facilities were amazing. It was like a vacation resort. It was beautiful. They have a pool, a garden, a movie theater, an art room, a game room, and a billiards room.

I visited Affinity at Lafayette. They showed me everything. They have an elevator that goes up to the floors. The rooms were good but small. They had a lot of amenities that included meeting other people. They have an indoor pool and a lobby where you can go in the afternoon and have a drink. We liked the staff. They were very good and very informative. We were very impressed.
