Assisted Living in Lafayette, LA

Lafayette is a small city in southern Louisiana, with a population of 126,185. The city is a good choice for seniors thanks to its pleasant weather and beautiful surroundings. Lafayette has a long, rich history which is shown in its many museums, including the LARC Acadian Village; a living museum that recreates 19th-century life in the region. According to the U.S. Census, 13.6% of the population of Lafayette are aged 65 and older. Active seniors can explore the city’s 24 parks, hunt for bargains at one of the 19 local malls or play golf at the Oakbourne Country Club.

Seniors who need help with dressing or other daily living activities, but don’t need constant medical supervision, are great candidates for assisted living. Most such facilities provide medication management and some have rehabilitation services.
