Overview of Lady of the Oaks Retirement Manor

Alzheimer’s Care and Behavioral Health run as named services at Lady of the Oaks Retirement Manor. Both address what happens when dementia arrives with something else attached. A resident can have congestive heart failure and dementia at once; the family then looks for two things in one building, and this Lafayette home carries those for 137 beds.

Memory care supplies supervised support for a resident whose judgment about safety has become unreliable. Nursing home care handles the rest.

Hospice and palliative care go after comfort and symptoms. Pain a resident can no longer report has to be looked for rather than waited on. A licensed nurse on the floor at every hour means an overnight change gets assessed rather than written down in the morning.

Nursing time amounts to 3 hours and 22 minutes per resident per day. Rehabilitation services are available, and a beauty salon operates on-site. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. The area scores 49 for walkability, so bring a car.
