The 2am problem
You can’t be at the front desk and at a resident’s side at the same time. A few plain truths:
5+ homes
Families call around. The first home to answer usually wins the tour.
1 in 2
About half of inquiries come after hours or while you're mid-shift.
$4,500/mo
Every missed family is a bed left open — month after month.
How it works
Three steps, and none of them are yours to do.
Step 1: A family reaches out
By phone, text, your website, or a referral. Day or night — Lantern is listening either way.
Step 2: Lantern answers in seconds
Warmly, in plain language. It learns what the family needs and checks fit against YOUR license — not someone else's.
Step 3: The tour lands on your calendar
And you get one calm alert. No voicemail to chase, no app-juggling mid-shift.
An AI your families can trust —
because it follows rules you set
Lantern isn’t a chatbot bolted onto your phone line. It’s a trained front desk that knows your license, your limits, and your voice — and it works inside hard guardrails:
It introduces itself honestly
Families always know they're talking to Lantern, answering for your home. No pretending, ever.
It never plays nurse
Non-clinical by design: no medical advice, no diagnoses, no medication talk, no medical records stored.
It writes like a caring person
Short, warm, one question at a time — trained on how real front desks comfort worried daughters at 9pm.
You can take over in one tap
The moment you (or the family) want a human, Lantern goes quiet and hands you the thread.
Every word is on the record
Each conversation is logged in your dashboard, flagged for your review whenever it matters.
Don’t take our word for it — read its conversations in the demo.
The question every owner asks us first:
Honesty converts better than pretending — families reward homes that respect them.
A calm front desk that never clocks out
Everything Lantern does, it does so you don’t have to.
Answers every call & text
24/7 — at dinner, at 2am, and while you're helping a resident. No family hears voicemail.
Screens for license fit
Lantern knows what your license allows, so you never spend an afternoon touring a family you can't serve.
Books tours straight to your calendar
Families pick a time, it lands on your phone, and everyone gets a friendly reminder.
Spots crisis families
A hospital discharge on Friday afternoon can't wait until Monday. Lantern fast-tracks them to you.
Never ghosts anyone
Families that aren't a fit for your home get a kind answer and a pointer to somewhere that is.
Shows you what it earned
Plain-dollar reports: what you spent, the families it brought in, and what each move-in was worth.
Connections, not “integrations”
Lantern plugs into the four things you already use. No new systems to learn.
Google Ads
Know your cost per move-in — not per click.
Google Calendar
Tours appear on your phone, right where you already look.
Phone & texting (via Twilio)
One tracking number, answered day and night.
Google Business Profile
Review replies drafted for you — you just tap approve.
Each takes about two minutes to connect.

What the tune-up coversThe return is the whole point
No vanity metrics. One assumption — a bed at your home is worth about $4,500 a month — and the arithmetic does the rest.
$299
Lantern, per month. Flat.
$4,500
One filled bed brings in, per month.
15×
One extra move-in returns 15× Lantern’s monthly cost — every month they stay.
The cost of a missed call
A family who reaches voicemail calls the next home on their list. If they would have stayed a year, that one missed call walked away with $54,000 of rent.
$4,500/mo × 12 months — and average stays run longer than a year.
The Lantern year
A full year of Lantern costs $3,588. If it catches you one family a year you would have missed, it has paid for itself fifteen times over.

Questions owners ask
Do families know it's AI?
Yes. Lantern is honest and warm — it introduces itself, never pretends to be a nurse, and hands the conversation off to you the moment you (or the family) want.
Does it give medical advice?
Never. Lantern is non-clinical by design: no diagnoses, no medications, no medical records. It keeps a free-text care note so you have the family's story in their own words.
What if I want to answer myself?
Take over any conversation with one tap. Lantern pauses instantly and stays quiet until you hand it back.
How long does setup take?
About 20 minutes. You tell Lantern about your home and your license, connect your calendar and phone number, and it's answering that same day.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. There's no contract — if Lantern isn't earning its keep, you shouldn't keep it.
