More about The Blake at Lafayette
The campus is framed as resort-style senior living — wellness, security, family, and daily dignity — not a high-acuity hospital unit. QSL is described as a fast-growing senior living company with room to advance. Pay is listed only as a competitive wage with an excellent benefits package; no dollar figure is posted. You will need a current Louisiana LPN license and CPR, and assisted living or long-term care experience is preferred. Lafayette itself runs about 13% below the national cost of living, with a flat state income tax near 3% and compact-license recognition. The tradeoff on the schedule is plain: weekends and holidays are part of the rotation.
Luxurious resort-style senior living meant to promote wellness, security, longevity, family, joy, and self-worth.
