My experience while my mother was in Lantern Crest Senior Living was a good experience until it was necessary for my mother to move to Assisted Living and there the nightmare began. Lantern Crest Assisted Living is what I consider minimal care. The food is not appetizing nor healthy; I order food to eat with my mother on one occasion and it was so awful I could not eat it! So very sad:. The food the elderly eat is so very important to their general health at this time in their life. The food really falls short! The laundry services are unacceptable! Clothes come back dirty and wrinkled! My mother was in tears because she is a proud lady and took exceptional care of her clothing. The one good point is that the caregivers are kind and attentive. My mother was so very unhappy and it made me feel like a terrible daughter. I was very worried leaving her there. Overall, the facility is overpriced and fails seriously short of my expectations. I would think twice before signing a lease with this facility.
I had an enjoyable evening Wednesday at Lantern Crest Senior Living as a networking host for the La Mesa Chamber. It’s a beautiful place with great food and great people doing business in the area.
As a placement agent, I have referred several clients over to Bobi Thomas, Executive Sales Director at Lantern Crest. She has a wealth of information about the needs of the elderly moving into senior living facilities. I always enjoy touring with her and the families we refer to her. I learn something new every time!

This place looks great on the outside but inside they are all about passing you from department to department. Apparently no one knows how to solve problems there. As long as they are getting your money it’s good. But if you have issues don’t expect anyone to help you or call you back.
