Attentive staff, well trained and helpful. Great food and a welcoming environment.

The staff are very good with the residents, living, compassionate and attentive. Lila is especially gracious, informative and client centered. I am very happy with my brothers care.

We have a great experience at this facility. Every member of the staff from the Director Lela on down have been attentive to us and loved ones. It shows in their kindness and the way that they carry out their daily tasks. It is such a blessing when you know that your loved ones are happy and cared for. We would definitely recommend this facility.

Update 9/10/2025 Just spoke to sales coordinator Lela at approx. 9:50 am this morning. I was outside at the entrance and she didn’t even come out the door. She tried to walk back inside and I said I had questions about the program and brochure— Do any of the Alzheimer patients come out for sunshine. She quickly said yes and I said where cause I NEVER see ANY PATIENTS during my DAILY MORNING AFTERNOON OR EVENING WALKS. She said they go outside and I said where? She then said they get “sun inside”?!! Never knew sunlight comes inside! Must be new science! NO NOT REALLY! They don’t take the elderly patients out for sunlight!! How cruel and vile!!

I cannot say enough nice things about this facility. Our experience with them thus far is that they are are top notch from the management team right on down to the staff they employ. Lela Cordelle, their Director, is awesome at her job and a definite asset to this company. I highly recommend this facility for your loved one.

Our experience with the Lantern has been heartfelt and supported. Lelah is an incredible director who has been assuring, educational and a valuable resource. We continually heard her name and The Lantern as the best memory care in the area. We agree based on our experience to date

My FIL was a resident for several years. We were self-paying, too. Initially, the care was excellent. They had several management changes, and suddenly, it was terrible. It's a very long, horrible story of what happened to my FIL and us. I do not recommend this facility to anyone. His room was never cleaned and smelled terrible, to the point it felt like neglect. We would learn that all of the behavior problems they claimed he had were because of their approach. I hate to think of what it must have been like for him to live there. His new facility had no issues with him, and they tailored their approach to his needs. There's so much more we could say negatively about this place...if you have another option to send your loved one... I would send them literally anywhere but here.

This is the best facility for dementia I've ever seen. The staff is wonderful. I'm very happy to have found it. I know they take good care of my mother.
