Five Star Residences of Lafayette sits in a quiet spot in Lafayette, Indiana, offering a steady routine in a lively community where you'll see neighbors out on the back porch with rocking chairs, others taking a walk by the lake or sitting in the gazebo, and some sharing laughs in the game room or library while the sweet dogs visit as part of pet therapy. Residents pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, with options for kitchenettes or full kitchens, and private bathrooms, all within a single-story building, which many folks find easier for getting around. The grounds include a gated entrance, gardens, walking trails, a pond, community fair, and a dog park, while indoors there's a heated pool, movie theater, activity studio, card room, chapel, and a beauty salon and barbershop where you can get a trim or a shampoo.
Everyone chooses how busy their days get, since you can join exercise classes in the fitness center, attend live entertainment or movie nights, join clubs, try arts and crafts, enjoy happy hours in the cocktail lounge, or work on a computer in the community workstation. There's group outings, scheduled transportation-either for fun or to doctor's appointments-and even a volunteer program for those who want to help others. Meals are served in restaurant-style dining rooms, with the MyChoice Dining Program letting you pick whether to have one, two, or three meals prepared each day, and menus are often dietitian-approved. There are private dining rooms available for family parties or special occasions.
