    My dad has been living at Lantern Crest for the last 3 months and we could not be any happier. He lived in different communities (3 different communities) before and Lantern Crest has been the best out of all of them. I understand Lantern Crest had difficulties with different management companies before but I can assure you all the staff members at Lantern Crest right now are best of the best. All the staff members are caring, passionate and very kind. Maritza is great with activities and Les is very helpful when my dad needs any maintenance/repair work. My dad is at the Ridge building of the Lantern Crest Community. He lives in the assisted living section. Lantern Crest offers Assisted Living, Memory Care and Independent Living. They have studio, 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartments. My dad gets a weekly housekeeping service. The food is also delicious and they have variety of choices every day. Lantern Crest also does great events: Memorial Day BBQ was so much fun for my dad yesterday and it was a great day for his grandchildren also. I highly recommend Lantern Crest Senior Living. My dad could not be happier.

    My grandparents live in the Lantern Crest community for the last 3 years and they are very pleased with everything. The staff members are very kind and helpful. Food is delicious, they do Sunday brunches every Sunday and they are great. My grandparents are living in a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment but Lantern Crest has studios, 1 bedrooms and cottages also. Overall Lantern Crest is a great senior living community. Highly recommended.
