Lantern Hill's Continuing Care Neighborhood Receives Highest Rating from Federal Agency

The Continuing Care neighborhood at Lantern Hill received the highest score in the Five-Star Quality Rating System administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  The Erickson Living developed and managed community, located in New Providence, New Jersey, earned a 5-star rating in the Overall Quality category in April 2019.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services last month revised its inspection process and began providing improved staffing details and new quality metrics. The changes were aimed at providing more transparent and meaningful information about the quality of care that residents receive. CMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which you may want to ask questions.

In addition to independent senior living, Lantern Hill offers assisted living, sub-acute rehabilitation, nursing care, and memory care.

Lantern Hill is a not-for-profit organization, developed and managed by Erickson Living®. The community is governed by its own board of directors affiliated with National Senior Campuses, who provide independent financial and operational oversight of the community.
