Consider the benefits of living in one of our beautiful communities
Whether you are planning for the future or ready to make a move now, there are many questions that may come to mind about community senior living. What’s it like to move from my home to an apartment? Will I be able to stay active and independent? Which community is best for me?
We’ve helped many people work through these questions and much more. Our professional team is available to support you and your family as you explore community living. If you are looking for life with a personalized balance of independence and care, we have wonderful options just for you.

Reminders for New Morning Pointe Lantern Families
- Sometimes residents will “transition” to their new surroundings within a few days, others will take several weeks. There is no textbook process. The thing to remember is that all residents will transition to their new home.
- It’s ok to stay away the first few days, in fact sometimes the Director of Nursing will recommend it based on the resident’s behavior.
- When your loved one first moves in, they are being consistently monitored by all departments to ensure their success!
- Support groups – This is the “best kept secret” of Morning Pointe. We also offer regular educational programs. Check with your Executive Director for the latest schedule on both.
How to Create a Good Visit with Your Loved One With Dementia
- Each visit may look a little different due to the changing behaviors of dementia.
- The goal from each visit is to not create high expectations of how you want the visit to go.
- Keep the visit short to eliminate the risk of the loved one losing interest or losing focus.
- Talk about what your loved one wants to talk about.
- Instead of asking your family member to remember, share the details of the memory with them. Ex. “Mom – you enjoyed your grandson’s graduation. You were so proud of him! You wore that beautiful blue dress…”
- Eliminate distractions by going to a quiet area for the visit.
