As a continuing care community, we offer independent living, plus on-site assisted living, sub-acute rehabilitation, nursing care, long-term care, and memory care. Distinctive Senior Living in New Providence, NJ Enjoy a vibrant lifestyle at Lantern Hill Our New Providence senior living community is ideally located close to Berkeley Heights and Summit, and just a 50-minute train ride to midtown Manhattan. Boasting 20 acres of green space and elegant, contemporary architecture, Lantern Hill offers an independent way of life—plus peace of mind should your needs ever change. Here, you gain more than just a maintenance-free apartment home; you gain a community filled with extraordinary amenities, friendly neighbors, and exciting new opportunities. The Lantern Hill Story We opened in 2015 to meet Union County’s growing demand for senior living and continuing care. Our first apartment homes sold quickly, and our community continues to grow. Currently, our gated, 20-acre senior living campus includes 161 independent living apartment homes, a central clubhouse, and continuing care residences should your needs ever change. Our dedicated staff totals approximately 200. You can stay up to date on the latest Lantern Hill news by joining our Priority List. Priority List members are the first to hear about special offers, pricing incentives, new apartment homes, and more. Independent Living Many of our residents say they feel even more independent since moving to Lantern Hill. Instead of worrying about house repairs, they can devote more time to friends and family. Instead of scraping ice and shoveling snow, they can sit back, relax, and let Lantern Hill do the work. No matter what the unpredictable New Jersey weather holds, you can swim, exercise, visit the on-site doctor, and even dine with friends at our on-site restaurants. The entire community is connected by glass-enclosed, climate-controlled walkways. Located on 20 beautiful acres, our senior living campus includes beautiful walking paths, gardens, and outdoor social spaces. As an independent living resident, you’ll also have access to the on-site medical center.
