Hear From Our Families
- “What I treasure most about Living at Lantern Crest is my continued Independence. Initially, I was worried that I’d miss tending to routine household chores and maintenance. But I quickly realized how much I appreciate the excellent Dining Experiences and new Adventures! Now that I’m free of those household responsibilities, I’ve had the opportunity to spend my days doing what matters -- walking my dog Skipper around the beautiful grounds, forming strong friendships with my neighbors, and participating in a number of fun daily Activities and Events. It’s truly a pleasure to be involved in a meaningful community that keeps me busy, while still maintaining the privacy of my own apartment."
- “Before I moved to Lantern Crest, I relied on my children and neighbors to help me with my medications, take me to doctor’s appointments, and prepare my meals. Now that the Dedicated Caregivers at Lantern Crest have taken over that assistance, my family and I have far more time to simply relax and enjoy each other’s company. My grandkids especially love visiting, as they have a blast in the outdoor pool. So do I, when I’m working out in my Aquasize classes. I’m also part of a Tight-Knit Social Group, and look forward to the Men’s Club meetings where I can share stories with the other Resident Veterans. My only wish is that my family had found Lantern Crest sooner!”
- “Lantern Crest’s Staff has given my Mom very Compassionate Care. When we could no longer provide Mom with the proper care she wanted or needed, we were worried about our options until we found Lantern Crest. Once we discovered Lantern Crest’s Memory Care Neighborhood, our outlook immediately changed. Lantern Crest offers Cheerful, Vibrant, and Uplifting Activities. The number of Daily Activities and Programs offers many incredible opportunities for Residents to engage with one another. Mom loves the Warm, Family-Like atmosphere and so do we! The Peace of Mind Lantern Crest has given our Family is Priceless."
