Avanti Senior Living at Lafayette is a new facility set up to feel like an urban village, not a single building, so you find open grounds, gardens, high ceilings, and lots of natural light, with original art and even live music sometimes, which gives the place a lively and welcoming atmosphere, and the rooms are all private for every resident. There are outdoor walking paths, a secure courtyard for safety, and a dog park for pets. The gardens are peaceful, and you can relax there, or in the tranquility room, where soothing sounds help you unwind. The facility has special programs like Salize Memory Care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, which uses a holistic approach, including healthy nutrition and exercises to help manage anxiety and forgetfulness. Staff help with activities like bathing, dressing, getting around, managing medicine, and there's a nurse available for up to 16 hours a day, with a 24-hour emergency call system, plus an on-site exam room for doctors and telehealth visits.
Residents can take part in all sorts of daily activities, many of them planned or even run by residents themselves; there are classes, social games, creative art projects with instructors, and a library full of books to enjoy. There are on-site barbershop and salon services, and a full-service spa offering things like relaxation therapy, massages, and manicures, and the wellness suite called MIND • BODY • STRENGTH helps people stay active, while a fitness center and special workout studio are available for exercise. Dining happens in the Taste Restaurant, which has its own Avanti Green Kitchen, and the Savor Lounge hosts happy hours with wine tastings, plus there are other dining spots on the grounds, all with flexible, anytime dining options. The community is focused on technology too, with WiFi everywhere, tablets provided to everyone, telemedicine services, and a Technology Guru who runs classes on how to use devices and connect online, so even those not used to computers can stay in touch or use streaming media.
Transportation is available, with scheduled luxury rides to shopping, dining, and even outings to nearby cafes and restaurants, and the Experience Coordinator helps schedule appointments and outside trips. Children and grandchildren are welcome, especially in the family room called "A" Crew, set aside for arts, crafts, and family visits, and there are kid-friendly spots around the community. Avanti also welcomes pets, with pet-friendly policies and a dedicated dog park. They offer support for people at different levels of independence, with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all provided on one campus, so if care needs change, residents don't need to move away. Housekeeping, medication management, and help with daily activities all come as part of the care. Residents and their families get planning help and tools for deciding when and how to move, ways to pay, and daily life guidance, especially for caregivers. There are a variety of floor plans to choose from and each resident gets a personalized care plan. The focus stays on giving people choices, comfort, and chances to connect with others, in a setting that's lively, secure, and beautifully designed.
