Lafayette Gardens offers excellent assisted living with a genuine family-like atmosphere. The team is attentive, professional, and truly cares for each resident. Their support with ALW and Medi-Cal makes the process easy and stress-free. A dependable and compassionate place for senior care. Thank you!!

Lafayette Gardens was terrible. Most of the residents looked like they were way beyond being able to remember anything. The staff, while friendly, was not attentive to them, with the exception of one person feeding somebody else. They had individual rooms that seemed clean. There was a urine smell. Other than that, it wasn't anything I'd give top ratings for.

Lafayette Gardens is more of a residential facility. It's on a much smaller scale. They have five or six rooms, and it's a home. The residents have their own bedroom. The upkeep was attractive. It looked well- maintained and clean. The owner-operator was very helpful and very friendly. She gave me a description of the facility and their service in terms of their staff, 24/7. They provide homecooked meals, so they don't serve prepared foods. They cook meals from scratch. I wasn't given a detailed description of the activities. It sounds like people in the residence can choose their own activities, instead of them being provided activities, but they get the care they need. I'm just looking for more care for my mother.

A few years ago we knew the time was coming that my mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s would be too much for her husband to manage and she would need to live in an assisted living home. I visited carehome and other bigger facilities but after visiting Lafayette Gardens I was clear that the other places were just institutions. Lafayette Gardens truly was a home for my mother-in-law in the last one and a half years of her life. Because it’s small, the staff knows them personality and particular needs of all the residents. For my mother-in-law, they knew that her afternoon agitation, when she needed to lie down for a bit with a little cuddle. All the caregivers were wonderful and they even provided assistance in PT. All the logistics from ordering medication, scheduling appointment with nurses, PT and OT. When the time came Meeran navigate us to find the right Hospice Company. I personally feel my mother-in-law was well taken care and well respected there. Thank you Lafayette Gardens caregivers for taking good care of her

My wife and I are very happy we chose to move my 97 year old Mother to Lafayette Gardens. The owner has been very helpful, fair, and I know she is very experienced in this field. Mom's caregivers are thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate. It has a warm, family atmosphere, is always clean, and also has a nice, backyard patio to enjoy the sun.

My mother needed personalized care and frequent monitoring during this last chapter of her life. Lafayette Gardens provided this service. The staff is friendly, kind, and flexible. Our family was overwhelmed with so many choices in care facilities. Meeran ( the owner/administrator) was professional, knowledgeable and helpful in our decision to choose Lafayette Gardens. The home is clean, well staffed and organized. They are accommodating with family visiting hours and pay attention to individualized care. The soups are fresh and mom loves her chocolate ice cream. We are grateful and feel comfortable that mom is receiving the care she needs.

The ladies, who work there, every day were very kind to my mother. However, the owner, I believe would've said anything to me just to get me to commit.

Lafayette Gardens is a cheerful home located in a lovely Lafayette neighborhood. —a great place to either take a loved one for a stroll outside or enjoy the sunny backyard deck. The caregivers are cheerful and attentive, as is Meeran, the owner. When my mother needed to be placed on hospice we were grateful that there was no need to move her anywhere else. A special thanks to Elsa, who my mother very much appreciated.

I like Lafayette Gardens. I would be thinking about putting my wife there. It seemed to be very nice. It was clean. One of the caretakers showed me around, but the owner came later to talk to me. I sat around there with them for about half an hour waiting for them to come and watching how they interacted with the patients. I'm not sure about their activities because they showed me the front door, and they showed me a room and the kitchen. It was more like a home living house and not a big facility. Food was adequate. They even fixed me food. It was good. The rice was fresh, and the chicken wasn't dry.

A final place for my mom
We chose LaFatyette because of the location and the manger was extremely friendly, and it was clean and in a nice neighborhood. She did upsell us on some things that went away after a couple days of being in here. The staff members were very sweet, they were gentle with my mom and would sing to her and were just very caring. Overall, I would recommend to others who are looking.

We needed a home for our elderly family friend who lost the ability to walk and take care of herself within just a few months. Truly a stressful decision! Lafayette Gardens took her in and has provided her with compassion and great care. It's been challenging but they understand the balance between her desire for independence and physical and emotional needs. It was amazing to see the improvement in her after just a few short weeks! Her room is roomy and bright and while we brought in her own furniture, a hospital bed was provided. And the big screen TV was a bonus! The house itself is cozy, warm and inviting with a nice patio in the back. The neighborhood is quiet yet close enough to town run errands when we visit. Highly recommend!

Lafayette Gardens is located in a peaceful, quiet residential neighborhood. The facility is bright, clean and airy and there's a nice deck in the back that's accessible to residents with limited mobility as well. The rooms are well furnished and pretty large. The caregivers I met were cheerful and there was a pleasant energy about them as they went about their business caring for residents. I would recommend Lafayette Gardens Care Home to anyone looking for senior care or short-term rehab.

The facility is clean and well maintained, in a nice neighborhood. The employees are all sweet and caring even though my mom has dementia and is not always easy to deal with. They call her "Mama" and take really good care of her.

We had an opportunity to visit the facility and we would move our loved one here when the time comes. The prices were reasonable and the interior seemed cleaned and well cared for. All of the residents seemed content. I also felt the owners were involved in daily care of residents and felt passionate about their facility. I would recommend this facility.

My siblings and I looked extensively for a care facility for our Father. When we found Lafayette Gardens, we looked no further. Tucked away in a nice, quiet neighborhood, the facility itself is serene, relaxing, and home-like. Additionally, it is kept immaculately. The caregivers are compassionate, attentive, and capable of tending to all of my Father’s needs And special thanks to Meeran, who runs the facility. She is professional, experienced and extremely knowledgeable in senior care. My family and I can rest assured that our Father is receiving the best care.

Review of Lafayette Gardens
My cousin (name removed) moved to Lafayette Gardens a few months back. We are very happy with her care. She has a big private suite with an attached bathroom. Food is great. (name removed) was able to assist my cousin with PT, OT and nurse visits. Staff is very helpful and facility is very clean. I highly recommend Lafayette Gardens.

First of all, I'd to specify that I am giving a completely open & honest review here. My mother has been at Lafayette Gardens since last August so it is just over a year. When we were looking for a senior home, we had seen fancier & newer facilities in both Emeryville and Alameda. They were nice but they didn't have what Lafayette has which is a strong sense of community. This I would say is the best & strongest feature at Lafayette Gardens - a feeling of being at home, a sense of community. You can't buy that. Lafayette Gardens is not fancy but it is warm, clean and pleasant. It feel like someone's home not a hotel. It really is nice to see. The people who work here know my mom by first name & have always been friendly & helpful. My mother tires out easily but if she wants to be around people there is a large community room with big comfy chairs. Earlier this year my mother suffered a minor stroke. She was having breakfast and it was one of the staff that noticed my mom's slurred speech and called an ambulance. Both Meeran & Saurabh are wonderful and have always returned my calls and answered my questions about the facility.
