I might be considered a bit biased towards Lantern Crest because I am part of the team that has and is building this wonderful facility. However, I sincerely think that Lantern Crest offers the best value and great service. Kudos to the management team and all the heroes that makes this facility one of the best.

THE FOOD!!! I miss going to this place on a regular basis. The staff is great, friendly, and caring. The Residents are HAPPY! The ambiance and feel of the place is high end and luxury. The quality of care, services provided, and atmosphere are great. I cant wait to be back supporting the staff and working to educate people how to afford luxury in retirement.

Mable Story

This is a 5 Star place. My Mother In Law lives in Independent Living at The Pointe in Lantern Cress. She loves it! The staff are kind and caring. Victor is the best in sales. Front desk ladies are wonderful. The 1 star deduction is for the slow and complacent service in the restaurant. At the Pointes restaurant, Terrazza, the food is excellent, but staff move slow and often forget to prep the tables with basics like water and glasses, silverware, etc. Once they seat you, they disappear and it can be quite a while to be able to ask for something like forgotten water or butter, etc. The buffets run out of food due to lack of staff watching and preparing. The Chef rarely (?never?) comes out to check on his tables. Bless the restaurants staffs hearts, they could use a good manager that is present on the floor and a checklist for the table service.

I am a professional musician that has provided musical entertainment at Latern Crest in Santee. Most recently our Saxophone and Guitar duo performed on Christmas Day in the dining room at The Ridge. We have performed at various retirement facilities. I am most impressed with the staff at Lantern Crest including personnel in entertainment planning, reception, and restaurant employees. They make it a point to know everyone’s name and needs on a personal level. I am 83 years old and still perform several gigs a month on Saxophone along with my Guitatist. When the time comes for me to seek a retirement facility, I can think of no better place then Lantern Crest. The facilities and the staff are excellent. George Kezas.
