We've chosen Lantern Crest Senior Living for my parents. They will move in by January next year. They loved it. It's brand new. It's resort-style living. That's what they loved about it. The meal was excellent, they loved it. They have three restaurants. There are three restaurants and the one we had was like a restaurant. They had servers and just restaurant-quality food. That's only one of the three, and she loved it. I ate it, so it was very good. Great room layout. Full kitchen, washer, and dryer inside the unit, which they love, which is very important, central air and heat. It looks like an apartment home. It does not look like retirement. It's perfect. They have an indoor pool, outdoor pool, fitness center, a smaller size bowling alley, and two dog parks, which are important for mom and dad. A huge outdoor courtyard kind of area, and the view is excellent.

Lantern Crest Senior Living is probably the one we're gonna go with. It was exceptional. The staff was very welcoming, the accommodations for the facility are excellent and every activity that you need is there. The biggest selling point for us was the size of the room and having a real kitchen, which was a huge bonus for us. The movie theater was fantastic because my father-in-law loves movies, they had an indoor swimming pool so that was very nice so it's not so cold and the restaurant was very good. They have a pharmacy there, they have a clinic there, a beauty shop or barber shop, and a lot of that was very enticing. Them having all that in one location makes it easier.

Lantern Crest Senior Living was beautiful. It's somewhere I'd love to live someday. It's very clean, everybody's very friendly, and the rooms were large and well decorated. It was just a very beautiful place. We looked at the menu and it looked very tasty. They invited us to bring my mom there to try out their meals. Everybody also had their masks on. The tables in their dining area were all spread out quite a bit.

I toured Lantern Crest Senior Living, and the women that we're dealing with are very nice. She toured us around, and we have been very happy with what she has shown us. We've chosen a particular apartment and we're all set to go.
It's just really nice when you walk in. The views are great, their balconies are nice. There are exercise facilities, which are also nice. The facility is very nice and very clean. They painted and everything looked really good in the apartments.
They've got an exercise program, a pool, and a library. They also have a hobby room. They have a nice restaurant and a bar. It's just very well decorated, clean, and nice.

I visited Lantern Crest Senior Living and I liked it because it's fairly new. It's all in one. They have a cafeteria type eating, like a restaurant. And they take pets. I had a nice tour. They took me to all different units. And very personable.

My parents are doing great at Lantern Crest Senior Living. The staff is attentive and accommodating. They're liking the food, but it's unfortunate that right now the food has to be delivered to their rooms because of the virus. We brought in all our furniture. Their apartment is very nice. There is so much they offer there. They have a gym, a hair salon, a restaurant, a bar, games, a pool, and a mini golf course. They've got just about anything you could want. It's very clean.

My grandmother lives at Lantern Crest and only ever has good things to say. She is always busy doing activities and speaks highly of the staff and residents who are always willing to spend time with her. There are so many things to do! There's a putting green, garden, pool, jacuzzi, bistro, movie theatre, dog park, and probably a lot more that I haven't even explored yet. They also have a lot of outings, where they take my grandma and anyone else who wants to go to a variety of places around town. Very cool! I've visited a few times now and I can't speak highly enough of the food, it's seriously incredible every time I try anything. The facility is beautiful (and new) and the staff are always welcoming and kind. The other residents have also been very nice and easy to talk to. Her apartment is very clean, spacious, and well-lit. It's perfect for her and even has a large balcony with a view of city. I love going to visit, especially when they host the larger family events. My grandma and I have always been very close, and I can honestly say that moving into Lantern Crest has been one of the best decisions she has ever made. I haven't heard her complain once about anything in her two years of living there.

Lantern Crest was very nice. The rooms were clean, but small for the dollar amount that they're asking. The residents that I saw seemed happy, and it's a very clean community.

Our experience at Lantern Crest is very good and satisfactory. The place is very nice and very welcoming, and the caregiving services are very good. It has a lot of different activities. It has a nice dining room, a library, a movie theater, a game room, a beauty shop, and exercise rooms. It is a very well organized place.

My parents like Lantern Crest Senior Living, and the people there are really nice. The place is very nice, and the food is good, but they still have not fixed the annoying noise in my parents' apartment -- which has been going on for 2 months. They have fantastic activities; on Wednesdays, they have stuff down in their bar area. They have entertainment, crafts, movies, and swimming.

I preferred Lantern Crest Senior Living out of all the places I visited because it is brand new. They had full kitchens in their apartments with oven, stove, and microwave just like a mini home. I loved the place and wish I could afford to live there. Their restaurant looked like a 5-star restaurant with an extra room if you had a big family and want to get together; you can rent it and bring your own food or they can cook for you. It had a balcony and was a huge room, probably over 1,200 square feet wide. They had a movie theater, a beauty shop, and a library with a computer setup. They had a swimming pool with a huge barbecue area where you could have parties. There's nothing else you could want in that place.

We selected Lantern Crest for my mom. It was exemplary and exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was positive. They were caring and attentive and couldn't have been more accommodating, positive, and caring. I was just impressed from top to bottom. Jeremy, in particular, was amazing. I would definitely recommend them. They offered independent living, assisted living, and memory care. At that time, my mom was in the independent living for a week. The cost was about a $1,000 or $1,500 less than the other place I liked. It was not cheap, but it was more affordable for us.

Lantern Crest was great because when I first moved her there, we moved her into independent care, a brand new building across from the memory care assisted living building. It just opened last January, and it was awesome, but her dementia was progressing, so I had to move her again from that building over to the memory care ward.
They are both excellent and reasonable compared to the some of the ones I found locally. They are taking good care of her, and they are communicating.
They help coordinate with you to move people in. They check on them and make sure they have got everything -- very nice facility.
The independent living building said you need to either have a full time person watching or you can move her over into the other building -- which is memory care and is excellent also -- and that’s what I did. The rooms are unbelievable. They come in, vacuum, and dump your trash. They have a full dining room, and part of the rent is the Sue Maple’s are paid for, and it is like a restaurant; it isn’t like a cafeteria. They will sit down, and it’s a nice place to order whatever they want. They have all kinds of facilities. They have hiking and buses that will them to the bank and to the grocery store. I ate at their office, and it’s better than Soup Plantation. It’s set up so that they order from the menu, but if they don’t like anything on the menu, they just say I would like this for lunch or dinner, and they will cook it for them.
