Overview of Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette

Set in the Green Meadows section of Youngsville, Louisiana, Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette is a 101-bed community offering both assisted living and memory care. Six years into operation, it occupies a car-dependent stretch of the area (Walk Score 7), where getting around means driving rather than walking.

Memory care runs through a dedicated unit the community calls Salize, separating residents who need that specialized support from the broader assisted living population. For families who need a short-term bridge and not a permanent move, respite care is available too. Clinical coverage is constant: licensed nurses and CNAs staff the building around the clock.

Beyond the care model, residents have a fitness studio, a full-service salon, an art studio, and a home theatre to fill their days. Pets are welcome, for residents who don’t want to leave an animal companion behind. Laurie Deslatte is listed as the community’s leadership contact for families reaching out directly.

Between the dedicated memory care unit and round-the-clock nursing staff, Avanti reads as a fit for families who need both assisted living and memory care options in the same building, and who are prioritizing hands-on clinical presence over a walkable setting.
