The Lantis Living Network is strategically located in the Northern Rocky and North Central Plains regions to cover rural areas in need of care.
Will Lantis was a modern day pioneer - veteran, rancher, politician, family man and businessman. Through his experiences as a chemical and maintenance supply salesman, Will perceived that the elderly were not receiving quality care. He believed the elderly should be treated with respect, dignity and kindness by providing them a home away from home.
In 1972, Will and Mary Ellen Lantis purchased their first long-term care facility in Bridgeport, Nebraska, founding Lantis Enterprises, a tax paying entity. He started purchasing troubled facilities in Nebraska. He rebuilt their structure, management, residential care and reputation. They then continued to purchase individually owned facilities in the Midwest.
After 25 years of living in Kearney, Nebraska; Will and Mary Ellen's love for the Black Hills prompted their move of the corporate headquarters to Spearfish. The office opened in Spearfish, with 3 employees based out of the basement of the Lantis Cabin. Our growth has outpaced our space as we mark our 10th Year Anniversary in Spearfish by doubling our office space now located on Colorado Boulevard.
Lantis Enterprises Corporate Office houses the support services for 21 long term care centers, 6 Alzheimer's Units, 14 personal care/assisted living centers, and 5 home health agencies. We provide research, development and management expertise through our accounting, finance, operations, human resources, home health, medical nursing, marketing, and rehabilitation departments. Our local office employs over 40 full-time professionals with almost 2000 staff members in the field.
Family has always been important to Will & Mary Ellen. The employee's are an extension of their family as well as the residents and the communities where they are located. Will & Mary Ellen committed themselves to creating a place of healing and professional growth in a high-tech sophisticated health care network. Lantis Enterprises mission has always been to provide quality care with respect, dignity and kindness.
In August 2006 Will Lantis was taken from us suddenly in a one car automobile accident. Mary Ellen and the rest of the "Lantis family" will continue the legacy in the spirit of our beginnings.
As a trbute to Will, our co-founder, we will continue to service our community with a new theme "Western Hospitality with a Smile".
