The Lantern at Morning Pointe

We moved my mother into the Lantern at Morning Pointe in May 2023. My dad took excellent care of her at home until my brothers and I could see that it really was becoming too much for him. At the Lantern there are numerous people who are trained to deal with dementia patients and provide various activities for them to participate in. That's just not possible for one person to do alone. I was told the caregivers would have mom using a walker and participating in activities in no time. I was skeptical that she would actually do either of those things but the very first morning she was at devotions and by day 2 she was using a walker! The caregivers, nurses, reception staff, Anita and Lisa have been absolutely wonderful and very helpful in answering our questions of which we had many those first few weeks as our family navigated this transition. Although there have been challenges along the way, we have learned to trust the process, be patient and rely on the skills of those caring for my mom. I would highly recommend Morning Pointe for your loved one!

My experience with Morning Pointe memory care thus far has been one of professionalism, compassion, and comfort in knowing that my Mom is well cared for and safe in her environment. The staff has shown a vast knowledge of the care and expertise needed to care for a dementia/Alzheimer’s client. They have provided a means of communication between family and staff to inform and comfort us regarding all aspects of Mom’s adjustment and transition to her new living space. Mom has expressed many compliments as well. She likes the interior decor, cleanliness, and the food. She is most pleased that her dirty laundry just magically reappears cleaned and folded. She appreciates the staff’s efforts in providing daily entertainment, physical and social activities. I spent months dreading the moment we would transition my Mom from her home to memory care. The staff at Morning Pointe were helpful in developing a plan to make the move. For the first several days they stayed in close communication with me regarding her status and even provided pictures of Mom participating in activities while smiling. The family was amazed at how well the transition process went. I would recommend Morning Pointe Memory Care as a solution for care of a family member struggling with independence and suffering from a decline in memory and cognitive function.

My mother has been a resident at Morning Pointe for nearly 2 years. Specifically, she stays at The Lantern memory care. I’m simply overjoyed that we had the great fortune to visit, and choose Morning Pointe for her living arrangements. Since day one of her residence there, the staff has been the most attentive to her needs that I can imagine. I have never been for a visit when I haven’t been met by the staff with a smile. She is nearly always busy when I arrive with one of the myriad of activities that are encouraged for the residents. The folks living there all seem genuinely happy to be in this environment. I know my mother is! The accommodations are wonderful, and her meals are excellent. The staff is great about communicating any specific needs she has, and does routine care plan visits to go over her general welfare. Knowing absolutely nothing about memory care prior to moving my mother in, I feel like I know much more now, and feel like Morning Pointe has these patients needs covered superbly! I would highly recommend!

My brother has been living here for 3 years. He has some life physical and mental issues but functions well. Morning Pointe has been a wonderful, peaceable and comfortable place for him to live since both parents died. He has been very happy with the food and activities. Seeing him content, gives my sister and I great peace and happiness also!

We are so happy that my Mom is here! After doing extensive research, tours of multiple facilities and a short unhappy stay at another place Mom is finally at home and thriving. The staff is fantastic, a beautiful facility with daily activities that are designed for residents to thrive in their environment. Morning Pointe must be on your list when your walking the path to find a caring, safe place for your loved one.
