The Lafayette
The Lafayette offers independent living and respite care in Lexington, KY. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The combination may suit someone seeking a private living arrangement or a family needing temporary care.
Housing includes studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments. A resident can choose a single private space or a layout with an additional bedroom. With a Walk Score of 61, some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage certain nearby trips independently. Pets are allowed, allowing a resident to bring a pet when moving in.
