Lantern of Saybrook

When my wife and I met [name removed] and her incredible team, they made the process really simple and inviting. We were looking for choices for my grandparents. My grandparents are blooming at Lantern, and I count myself quite blessed to have found it.

Amazing culture; everyone we met who was a member of Mom's care team was wonderfully pleasant and caring. The programs are fantastic at keeping people interested and giving them the sense of purpose that they deserve. I can rest well knowing that there are individuals that go above and beyond to make her and the other residents feel wonderful!!

I can't say enough positive things about this facility. I looked all around for the ideal location to take care of my mother-in-law, and this is it. The facility is spotless, and [name removed] and his staff go above and beyond. The food is excellent, and the many events keep everyone in the community happy and engaged!

For the past eight months, both of my parents have been residing at The Lantern. The entire staff has treated them with the utmost respect and concern since the day they came in. The facility is kept very clean, provides excellent food and activities, and is far superior to my expectations. They take excellent care of my parents.

In November 2021, my mother relocated to Lantern. My family has been blown away by the excellent care she is receiving. My mom is pleased and happy. I cannot speak highly enough of this facility. We are overjoyed to have discovered it.

Lantern is a fantastic assisted living Community. The teams are concerned about the Senior Citizens. The Community is attractive, well-kept, and welcoming to residents. The people are friendly and appreciate the various activities provided by the facility.

An extraordinary amount of individualized care and attention. My mother is a resident at Lantern Lifestyle. The staff treats her as if she were a member of the family, being patient and sympathetic.

My wife and I have been Lantern independent living residents for about a year and a half. Our lives here have been most enjoyable and rewarding, especially because of the wonderful friends we've made among both residents and staff. I wholeheartedly recommend Lantern.

My mother has been at Lantern for about 6 weeks now. We received day-by-day update calls for 2-three weeks from [name removed]. The information of the team of workers and nursing personnel reassures us that she’s in first-rate hands. We are pleased with our preference at Lantern!

I can't say enough positive things about Lantern. My grandmother was treated with compassion and care by every single member of the staff. My grandmother's leadership team is incredible, and they went above and beyond for her and her family. The Lantern's leaders and staff truly make their residents feel at home.

Just recently visited my mother at Lantern of Saybrook. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and welcoming aura it possessed. The staff are very friendly and the guests are very well taken care of. My wife is super happy and therefore so am I!!!

My only complaint about the facility is the lack of communication from the staff members. Other than that, I would absolutely recommend them.

Would not recommend this community !! You might want to think twice about putting your loved one here, has all the bells and whistles but the care is subpar at best!!. My mother was there for a little over a year Laundry was an issue the whole time she was there. Found pills on the floor on several occasions . Dining area was always fiflthy. Were not let out outside as often as they should be no lawn furniture . Activities pretty much non existent.High turnover rate with employees.when my moms head was split open requiring three staples she was not transported by ambulance , company vehicle and aid took her. There is so much more I could say but the most important thing is you don’t always get what you are sold so make sure you do your homework!! I’ve since moved my mom and she is doing wonderful has been out more in a months time than she was in a year.

I think it is a great place, the only real complaint I have is that in the past two weeks since my husband has been there is that there are more and more patients coming in and they need to get a few more aids to help out. Those there are doing a great job, but they are spread a little thin as more people come to live there.

I AGREE WITH THE OTHER REVIEW; JUST ONE BIG MARKING [Removed]. NOTHING BUT NICE PICTURES THEY SHOW YOU ON THEIR FACEBOOK AND OTHER WEB SITES, THE CARE IS TERRIBLE!! MOST OF THE WORKERS ARE LAZY, PEOPLE ARE ESCAPING AND [Removed], THE FOOD IS TERRIBLE, MOST OF THE WORKERS ARE VERY UNSURE OF THEMSELFS AND ARE NOT TRAINED TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS. MOST OF THE CARE WORKERS ARE NOT STNA, (STATE TESTED NURSES AID) ALOT OF THEM DO NOT WEAR GLOVES OR WASH THEIR HANDS. YOU HAVE TO SUPPLY YOUR OWN WASH TOWELS AND TOILET PAPER FOR YOUR LOVE ONE AT THIS PLACE, FURTHER MORE; THEY ARE LOCKED IN A DARK ROOM WITH NO WINDOWS TO LOOK OUTSIDE, MY FATHER WAS BOARDED TO DEATH IN THIS PLACE. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR OUR FAMILY; WE HAD MY FATHER MOVED OUT OF THIS PLACE HE IS MUCH HAPPY!! LOOK SOME PLACE ELSE!!!

We are very happy with the care at this community. The staff is very nice and we like knowing the community is clean and maintained. The have a nice variety of meals that are healthy. We like the activities that are offered. We would recommend the care of this community to other families.

Place is Under Staffed & This is not a Nusing Home! Based on the level of care required is Just Marking BS.

The Lantern of Saybrook is a very nice facility, it's always clean and well maintained because it is brand new. The staff seems to be very accommodating and welcoming towards my loved one. She is still adjusting since her move in.

The Lantern of Saybrook has been a good fit for my loved one, but the place needs more staff. Right now, the nurse's aides don't only take care of the residents, they do housekeeping, activities, and serve meals in the dining room. I know they try their best and they are the sweetest girls, but they need help. My biggest concern is the fact that the dining room also known as the common area, is so dark. They don't really have windows or any natural lighting which can be very depressing. The meals served are good, and if the residents are still hungry they could ask for more.

I like the care that is given here. The staff is outstanding and caring. It is very clean and taken care of. They offer him a great variety of food that he is really enjoying. They do offer him alot of activities that he is not participating yet. The care and value are worth all that is offered here. We recommend this community for others needing good care.
