Choosing Between Independent Living versus Assisted Living
If you are researching senior living options, you might be wondering about the difference between independent living versus assisted living. While both of these housing options include access to the same amazing on-site amenities at Lantern Crest, assisted living allows for a greater level of daily or weekly care. For example, assisted living may include daily support with mobility, health, or personal care. Because we understand that your needs may evolve over time, we provide both assisted living and independent living as options to our residents. Assisted living services may include:
- Daily support with mobility & personal care
- Medical and health care solutions
- Laundry & cleaning services
Enjoy Life to the Fullest with Assisted Living Services
One of the main differences between independent living versus assisted living is the level of care provided on a daily or weekly basis. Assisted living services are designed on a case-by-case basis; for example, some residents may enjoy support with getting around town, while other residents may benefit from cleaning or other caregiving activities. Assisted Living at the Lantern Crest Ridge facilitates a high level of independence alongside the benefits and security of 24-hour care.
Our Trusted Team of Caregivers
One of the benefits of assisted living is the access to world-renowned, compassionate care. At Lantern Crest Senior Living, we are a privately-owned and operated business.
