My wife Pat and I have been doing a musical performance of Oldies music at Morning pointe for three months. We have worked with Dawn Pittman and she has been phenomenal in communication and organization. She is always very pleasant and efficient. She interacts with the residents in a very loving and caring way. The residents at The Lantern seem very well adjusted and interactive. It is a pleasure being there.

This is a great community for anyone needing Alzheimer’s and memory care. The management team is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and friendly. The excitement they show when talking about the residents and about their community is authentic. The staff that cares for the residents are kind and seem well trained on how to deal with dementia. The community is clean and smells good. I rest a bit easier knowing I made the right decision when placing my loved one in their care. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but after visiting several other communities I knew in my heart this was the right place. I am thankful to have found such a great community.
