“Home, where the right to good quality of living is every human’s birthright.”
Lantern differentiates itself and stands apart from other facilities because of its unique offering- Fountain Of Life. Two offerings titled “Brain Power” and “Svayus” are the centerfold of the Fountain of Life program. This state-of-the-art program is offered for the first time in the country. This program was created and designed after extensive research. These offerings are client and family-based. These two offerings are designed to facilitate and promote healthy aging. These programs focus on activities and behaviors that will integrate clients and families to increase life expectancy. Science has proven over and again that activity in the brain, mind, and body facilitates and promotes a healthy aging process.

“Memories of yesterday to function today”
Happiness comes from discovering who God made us to be, discovering the power he has given us, and putting that power to work for the overall benefit of others.
Svayus is an exclusive function relevant therapeutic care model based on the theories of perception in action, retro genesis, progressive lowered stress threshold, person environment occupation (PEO) and basic ability to function (BATF). The objective of Svayus is to enable our clients to function at their best ability. A Svayus activity program is based on seven basic skill sets that are essential to maintain and facilitate over all functions- Social emotional activities, large motor skills, small motor activities, visual activities, reasoning activities, listening and language activities. Svayus uses all five traditionally recognized five human senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch to constitute, modify and direct human’s behavior, attitude and posture. People are not with us to quietly fade from the society, but come to us to live a dignified life. We know that the human spirit glows until we take our last breath. Central to our mission is connecting our people with the natural elements that they are exposed and familiar with since birth and ensuring a structured routine life filled with positive meaningful stimulations from their immediate surrounding environment. Decline is hastened when we stop nurturing the human spirit through meaningful connection.
