Assisted living is designed for seniors who need support with daily activities — bathing, dressing, medications, meals — while maintaining as much independence as possible. Memory care is a specialized environment specifically designed for people living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. At Morning Pointe of Lexington-East, we offer both on one single-story campus — so residents can receive exactly the right level of care, and transition within our community if needs change.

We are located at 150 Shoreside Drive, Lexington, KY 40515 — on the east side of Lexington near the Hamburg corridor, close to Hamburg Pavilion, Saint Joseph East Hospital, Jacobson Park, and the neighborhoods of Hartland, Tates Creek, Beaumont, Chilesburg, and Brannon Crossing. We are conveniently located for families in east Lexington, Nicholasville, Winchester, and Georgetown.

Yes. Morning Pointe of Lexington-East is entirely single-story — no elevators, no stairs, no long institutional hallways. Unlike many senior living communities in Lexington, our fully single-story design means residents are never more than a short walk from help, a meal, or a familiar face. For residents with mobility limitations or memory loss, this makes a meaningful everyday difference.

The Lantern is our dedicated memory care area at Morning Pointe of Lexington-East — a specialized environment with its own trained team, its own daily programming, and its own secure outdoor spaces, all designed specifically for people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Because we offer both assisted living and The Lantern memory care on one campus, our team works with families to ensure residents always have access to the right level of support as their needs evolve.

Because we offer both assisted living and The Lantern memory care on one campus, many residents are able to transition between levels of care within our community as needs change. We encourage families to discuss their loved one’s specific situation with our clinical team — we will always give you an honest assessment of what we can best support.

Assisted living at Morning Pointe uses a care-level pricing model — meaning you pay based on the level of care your loved one actually needs. Memory care in The Lantern is all-inclusive, reflecting the dedicated, specialized nature of the program. Call (859) 765-1537 for current pricing and availability.

Our memory care program incorporates the Best Friends™ approach — a person-centered care philosophy that emphasizes knowing each resident’s life story, preferences, and personality. We also follow the Teepa Snow Positive Approach™ — a nationally recognized dementia care training model that helps our team understand how the brain changes with dementia and how to respond with skill and compassion. Our Meaningful Day™ program ensures each resident has a purposeful, personalized daily experience. For families, these approaches mean fewer frustrations, more meaningful interactions, and care that adapts to the way dementia changes over time.

Yes. We offer short-term respite stays in both assisted living and memory care. Respite care is a good option for families who want their loved one to experience the community before making a long-term decision, or for caregivers who need a planned break. Learn more
