Specialized Care for Individuals with Dementia

The Lafayette Special Care Unit is specifically designed to provide individualized care for our residents with Alzheimer's disease and other related dementia.

This program is structured to maintain the dignity, respect and safety of all residents within a secure environment. Because the unit is divided into higher and lower functioning sides, the staff can target activities to meet the needs of each resident in a specific stage of dementia.
