About Lantern Crest Senior Living
Independent Living at Lantern Crest provides an unmatched quality and engaging lifestyle. The Pointe, our premier, Resort-Style Independent Living Community, is perfect for active seniors who want to enjoy a rich social life with amenities. Each of our Exquisite Modern Apartments includes a full-sized kitchen, washer and dryer, and balcony. Our dedicated employees take care of all housekeeping and maintenance responsibilities so that you can enjoy a vibrant, carefree lifestyle that is full of opportunity. Since you’ll be in charge of your own schedule, what will you like to do first? You could tour the grounds on a sunny day, and stop for an enjoyable bit of golf on the putting green. Continuing on, you might see another resident taking in some sun as he sits on a park bench with his dog (that’s right, we’re pet-friendly here). You may wish to help plant some flowers along the walkway borders, as you see a few people participating in that activity. After you’ve transferred a few daisies to their new homes, you realize it’s nearly time for lunch. A quick stroll back to your apartment so you can get ready for your meal, and you’re off again to dine. Fun day so far, huh? That’s just the start. With lots of planned activities this afternoon, and a scheduled outing for the evening, you’ll be busy. Or if you want to sit back and let the world go by, you can; it’s your choice. Maybe staying in for a card game or a few rounds of bingo would be more to your liking. A friendly couple invited you to watch a movie with them later, so you have that as something to look forward to. At Lantern Crest, every day is what you make it! With housekeeping and maintenance chores off your to-do list, you’re free to take advantage of Lantern Crest’s luxury lifestyle! Schedule a tour today and discover the Lantern Crest independent living difference!
