The Lantern has gone through some changes recently. The new administration has incorporated features the residents love. More activities, a hydration station and a cute pet station. The dining room was recently renovated and looks fabulous. Menu’s on the table help remind the sweet residents what they are eating. My sweet Mom even recognized the changes and points them out to me. We are so very grateful for everything the Lantern offers.

My family is so grateful for the Lantern at Morning Pointe in Frankfort! Consistent, thorough, and compassionate care is their ‘thing’. People in memory care require much more attention and patience, and they realize that. When both of my parents needed a lot more care than my brother and I could handle, I feared that no one else really could either, at least to my satisfaction. It is not cheap to live there, but some day, safe, dignified personal care in one’s advanced years will be available to all who need it. It was particularly challenging to choose a long term care home during the 2020 pandemic- no tours! Another complication- who would take both parents, and let them be ‘roommates’? Their needs differ somewhat, can staff people keep track? Yes! It’s such a reassurance to know there is always a nurse on site, and that they have lots of other medical resources. SO many services can happen right there on site. In addition to the checks going on behind the scenes, it’s the people that make it a home. My parents LOVE all of the staff people (& affiliated agencies’ professionals). They do sweet things like cards, balloons, extra attention on birthdays. Occasionally a nurse or aide will volunteer to style the ladies’ hair. Though Morning Pointe cannot officially offer a celiac diet, the Food Service Director takes great precautions to keep my mom from getting wheat sick. Before we found the Lantern, my mom was in another care home for post-hospital ‘rehab’. Instead of rehabilitating, though, she declined drastically. Though pandemic lockdown isolation was largely to blame, she ‘aged’ into a sad and different person. Then, The Lantern’s creative Covid work-arounds and sweet staff people gave me my real mom back to me. She’s nearly 5 years older than when at the Other care home, but still in much better shape! ‘ Though staff members change over time, everyone who works there, or via a partner organization is kind, and just amazing. Always. Since 2020, The Lantern has been saving my brother and me from a LOT of stress and worry. Thanks to an every member of the Morning Pointe Lantern team/family, my dear parents are still here, happy and well.
