Michelle Guidry

We moved Dad into Brookdale about 7 1/2 weeks ago. He is adjusting nicely and we are very Appreciative of the staff and administration. Any issues that we have experienced have been resolved quickly and we really appreciate the way Sarah, the director, has an open door policy. Dad is happy, enjoying wonderful meals, many activities, and getting very good care by the staff. We can rest assured that he is in a wonderful place and we are welcome to visit him every day. It has been a very positive experience for our family.

Our mother has been living in Clare Bridge for 4 years, and her dementia is progressing. Brookdale Lafayette has been there for our family to help us through all of her changes.
