My father has been living at The Lantern since 2023 and we are very happy with his care. The staff is very tentative and caring, they know my father’s preferences and have kept him happy and comfortable. The Lantern staff offers a lot of opportunities for families to visit in interactive ways. The facility is always clean and you can tell the residents are well taken care of and kept busy with social interaction and activities. Communication with the staff has always been great, they let me know when my dad needs supplies and always give me updates as needed since I live out of state. Whenever I call the facility to check in, the receptionist is always so kind and a nurse or staff member is able to give me an update on how my dad is doing which is very reassuring. The Lantern isn’t a huge facility which I prefer because the staff gets more familiar with the residents. Because of my previous jobs, I’m very familiar with long term care facilities and I really do believe The Lantern provides the best quality care for its residents.

I love The Lantern at Morning Pointe. The staff is kind and compassionate, they always go above and beyond for the residents and their families. When visiting, it is apparent how much they love and respect the residents in their care. I highly recommend The Lantern if someone you love needs a memory care community.

My family is so grateful for the Lantern at Morning Pointe in Frankfort! Consistent, thorough, and compassionate care is their ‘thing’. People in memory care require much more attention and patience, and they realize that. When both of my parents needed a lot more care than my brother and I could handle, I feared that no one else really could either, at least to my satisfaction. It is not cheap to live there, but some day, safe, dignified personal care in one’s advanced years will be available to all who need it. It was particularly challenging to choose a long term care home during the 2020 pandemic- no tours! Another complication- who would take both parents, and let them be ‘roommates’? Their needs differ somewhat, can staff people keep track? Yes! It’s such a reassurance to know there is always a nurse on site, and that they have lots of other medical resources. SO many services can happen right there on site. In addition to the checks going on behind the scenes, it’s the people that make it a home. My parents LOVE all of the staff people (& affiliated agencies’ professionals). They do sweet things like cards, balloons, extra attention on birthdays. Occasionally a nurse or aide will volunteer to style the ladies’ hair. Though Morning Pointe cannot officially offer a celiac diet, the Food Service Director takes great precautions to keep my mom from getting wheat sick. Before we found the Lantern, my mom was in another care home for post-hospital ‘rehab’. Instead of rehabilitating, though, she declined drastically. Though pandemic lockdown isolation was largely to blame, she ‘aged’ into a sad and different person. Then, The Lantern’s creative Covid work-arounds and sweet staff people gave me my real mom back to me. She’s nearly 5 years older than when at the Other care home, but still in much better shape! ‘ Though staff members change over time, everyone who works there, or via a partner organization is kind, and just amazing. Always. Since 2020, The Lantern has been saving my brother and me from a LOT of stress and worry. Thanks to an every member of the Morning Pointe Lantern team/family, my dear parents are still here, happy and well.

My siblings and I had lunch with our sister Margaret Cottle last Wednesday and The Lantern pulled out all the stops! They set a beautiful table in a private room for the 9 of us and fed us an amazing meal!!! If they treat us like this, I can only imagine the care they give to our sister. Thank you, staff of The Lantern, for treating us like royalty!
