Alzheimer's Memory Care: Connecting Fragmented Days

The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's and Memory Care Center of Excellence is exclusively designed for the specialized care of those living with Alzheimer's or memory loss disorders. Our community approach is based on the latest in Alzheimer's research and our history of providing exceptional care and innovative programming since 1996.

Rooms, colors, activities and monitoring have been developed to optimize independence and quality of life. Residents are nurtured wholly in mind, body, and spirit in a calming and compassionate environment.  We see ourselves as part of the solution... a solution that can enrich lives with comfort, security and positive support.

Program Focus

Carefully selected and themed life enrichment areas depicting nostalgic scenes of the past, along with countless photographs capturing the history of the surrounding area, add to Morning Pointe's specially developed "Meaningful Day" programming. This programming is based on Morning Pointe's extensive experience in the field and the latest in medical research. We focus on each person's interests and life experiences, allowing for a "personalized" versus a "one size fits all" life enrichment program. Our dedicated staff work to help maintain each resident’s individuality and dignity. By understanding prior roles, routines and interests of each resident, our staff provides individualized programming that truly enhances their quality of life.
