Lantern Hill is a senior living community managed by Erickson Senior Living and offers a variety of apartments in Bell Pavilion, like one-bedroom units, some with a den, and others with screened-in balconies or patios, which some folks enjoy because they like a bit of fresh air without leaving their home, and you also get options with extra bathrooms, which makes it easier for when family or visitors come by. Residences have open layouts and contemporary fixtures, so things feel ready for a modern lifestyle, and the Belvedere and the Colchester are a couple of different floor plans people can pick from, including the best-selling one-bedroom homes which seem to stay popular because they fit a lot of different needs without being too big or too small. The apartments have stylish finishes, though nothing too fancy, and overall they keep the maintenance pretty easy so no one has to worry about a lot of chores. Lantern Hill sits among lush gardens and has courtyards and walking paths that get trimmed and cared for all year round, which is good for folks who want to spend time outside or take a stroll.
The community is set up as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so it covers independent living, assisted living, and even memory care, nursing, and rehabilitation care on the same campus, which means if someone needs more help later, they don't have to move far from where they've gotten comfortable. People get amenities like a library, arts rooms, a movie theater, a fitness center, and a swimming pool, and there's always some kind of activity or class going on, which keeps things lively and social for those who want to join in. The dining options and other services, like general counseling and special programs for dementia care, help support both daily needs and personal well-being, and staff offer help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, especially for those who are less able to manage on their own. Lantern Hill has trained Certified Dementia Practitioners who run the DementiaWise program and there's support for diabetes, incontinence, or non-ambulatory needs, along with continuous nursing supervision and a 24-hour call system for emergencies, so people don't have to worry too much about staying safe. There's also end-of-life support, including hospice waiver services, and care is tailored by a dedicated staff who watch over things and help folks keep as much independence as they can. The atmosphere is active but not overwhelming, with a strong focus on making sure everyone can enjoy a vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle, and the grounds, activities, and services together make Lantern Hill a place where residents can age with dignity and good company.
