Memory Care Community in Santee, California

My mother is doing fine at Stanford Court Skilled Nursing & Rehab Center. My overall experience has been good. Everything seems clean. The staff seems friendly when I call. Right now, they have no activities because of Covid, but they used to play Bingo, poker, card games, and they might have an ice cream social.

We went to Lantern Crest Senior Living. We looked at the room and the dining room. The rooms were beautiful, 2-bedroom, 2-bath, and the food was good. It was lunch time and it was beautiful. The location didn't suit us, so we didn't pay as much attention to it as we would if we were going to live there.

Lantern Crest Senior Living is nice if you have the money. They're going to have an urgent care, a bowling alley, independent homes, and all kinds of neat things. We had lunch there, and the food was fabulous. It's a relatively newer facility, but they're expanding. They have an area where you can have a house and they're working on four buildings. They have a lot of land. The guy who showed us around was great and very nice. It's a beautiful facility.

I'm very happy with Lantern Crest. My brother-in-law likes it a lot. It is a good thing. He is in the independent living. He has housekeeping once a week, and he is very happy with that. He eats, has been going to movies, and has gone to a couple of their functions. The food is excellent. I have had several meals with him, and it has all been very good. I love the staff members; not one of them is rude. They have all been very pleasant, nice, and caring. They refuse tips, too. They're just really cool. The place is immaculate, beautiful, well-kept, and friendly. I couldn't say enough about it. The value is very good because of the facilities and the food.

Lantern Crest Senior Living is fine, but you'll have to pay a little more for parking. We saw their pool and I liked the quality and how it's set up. The staff was super nice, and I didn't encounter anything negative about them. They're on a point system for the food, but we were a little confused about that. You'd be paying more money for the food if you eat all three meals. They're building a new building that has all kinds of activities. And they have these little separate houses for more dependent living residents. They have outings that they do, and they do special stuff with the clients every day to keep them activated mentally and physically. They keep them active, and if they want to, they don't force them to do the activities. The staff comes and checks on you at 10:00 every morning if you don't check in. So you could have fallen right after you check in, and they wouldn't get you until 10:00 the next morning.
