Lantern Crest Senior Living offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to move to the level of support that best matches their needs while remaining on the same campus. The community is equipped to manage advanced dementia and related behaviors, including residents who wander AM or PM, have behavioral concerns, are up all night, or are younger than 60 with specialized care needs. Nurses and caregivers monitor wound care, oxygen therapy, and special diet compliance, and they support residents who manage diabetes with oral medications.

Care delivery is backed by background-checked staff, an awake night team, 24-hour on-site security, door alarms, and a PERS system that alerts staff in an emergency. A full-time Activity Director plans daily programming, and on-site podiatry and therapy services reduce the need for outside appointments; the community also accepts residents with psychiatric issues. Assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting is available at the full-assistance level, and transfer help ranges from standby or one-person support to two-person or full Hoyer lift services for bed-bound residents. Residents using walkers or wheelchairs receive routine mobility checks to prevent falls.

Apartments include a selection of features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate; not every accommodation has every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour. Housekeeping and laundry can be performed by staff on a scheduled basis, and some units include in-apartment laundry equipment for added convenience. Independent Living residents can opt into medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan tailored to lighter support needs.

Dining is handled through an on-order menu that allows residents to choose meals at each sitting, with snacks available throughout the day, in-room tray service when needed, and a private dining room for family events. The culinary team manages diet modifications that include gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical chop, puree, and thickened-liquid options to meet physician-ordered or preference-based guidelines.

Community amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and a policy that permits pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet service, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, swimming pool, special-interest clubs, an on-site credit union, and an on-site pharmacy. Transportation is available through scheduled community vehicles, proximity to public transit, and a Townecar service for personal appointments and errands.
