This is a wonderful place for seniors. It is clean. The staff is helpful and friendly. They try to do a lot of activities even though they are dealing with some difficult mental issues. They never stop trying. The food is good. It takes too long to serve people. They need to do it more like a school cafeteria and rotate smaller groups. Overall a wonderful place

I had a great time entertaining the residents of The Lantern. From Kayce to James and the seniors, everyone was great to work with. There's a reason they're called the Greatest Generation: they are just that. If y'all would be interested in having me back to sing, I would be honored. Five stars.

My sister was in your memory care just a little over a year until her passing a few months ago. I thought your memory care was wonderful. Your workers were all very professional and did an excellent job at assisting the residents. The meals were very good. A couple of our church members are in your assisted living buildings.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting your facility to deliver a presentation to the residents. I was very impressed by the pleasant and engaging environment you have cultivated.<br><br>I would like to specifically commend Tammy, the activities coordinator, for her efforts in organizing an inclusive and positive session. Both Tammy and the rest of the staff were highly attentive, working closely with residents throughout the presentation. It is evident that the facility provides supportive, individualized care, and the family members I encountered expressed great satisfaction with the staff and the resident-focused atmosphere. They even participated in the activity with question throughout and after the presentation.<br><br>Because of this positive experience, I would be happy to collaborate with Tammy and your facility again. I felt great in donating my time and would do so in future initiatives, as I truly value the heartfelt care provided to your residents.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Doyle Seiber

I have a dear friend at this facility and enjoys the activities alot. Carla is one of the most caring individuals and cares that the residents are involved in all the activities. Tammy the Director of Activities keeps the calendar full of activities including bus rides, music, arts and crafts and lots of taste testing. If you want a place for your loved ones...bring them to Morning Pointe the Lantern of Lenior City.
