My mom has been at Morning Pointe now for a little over two years and at the Lantern for all that one month of that time. I’m very happy with all facets of the Lantern at Morning Pointe! They provide a lot of engaging activities for the residents, and the nurses are very good about Maintaining communication with family. The techs are truly amazing people who are doing what they do because they love it. I know after a couple of years that I would not want my mom to be anywhere else but the Lantern at Morning Pointe.

The staff at The Lantern have proven to be exceptional individuals. My relative had an urgent situation and staff at The Lantern moved at breakneck speed to assist the family in moving her from Morning Pointe of Spring Hill to The Lantern. She has now been a resident of The Lantern for about 10 days and seems to be treated as family. In visiting the facility in preperation for the move, the move process, and visiting since the move in day I have been able to observe staff as they interacted with the residents, always in a calm and caring manner. The building is clean, bright, and cheerful with spacious rooms. I would like to extend a special THANK YOU to the directors for their patience in helping us as we transition this family member to a totally new environment. They walk us through all of our 'oh, and..., can we, do we....' questions and answer very quickly. I feel comfortable with the transition. I would like to extend specific thanks to both Christy Johnson, the Community Relations Dirextor, and Heather Bernard, the Director of Nursing. Christy was a phone call or text away and usually answered immediately. She never appeared to be rushed or bothered and was able to meet with the family mid-day Wednesday and was available on Friday as we moved in furniture and set up the apartment. She stayed well beyond normal business hours to make it happen. Heather, oh my, rumor has it that she may have come in during her vacation to take care of the medical assessments and other behind the scenes 'nursing work' to smooth out any hiccups with transferring medications from Morning Pointe to the Lantern. Although we haven't personally met, Margie Fay, the Business Office Director, worked with us to complete paperwork as my family member made the transition. She was very understanding of the suddenness of the move and was patient as we had delays in doing our part. I can honestly say I have jot met a single unfriendly staff at The Lantern or Morning Pointe. These individuals seem to do their jobs because the truly care about their residents and not just the paycheck. As i have been thinking about what I wanted to say about these individuals 2 things come to mind ... happy and service oriented (servant hearts)

When I made the difficult decision to move my husband from another memory care community to The Lantern in Spring Hill a little over a year ago, I made the move because I was impressed with the breadth of the activities for the residents, the 24-hour nursing staff, the fact that The Lantern has its own kitchen rather than sharing with the assisted living residents, and the real caring that all the staff members seemed to exhibit to the residents. A bonus is that The Lantern is located on beautiful park-like grounds. I had visited four times prior to making my decision and three of those times I popped in without letting anyone know I was arriving. Every time I visited, I was impressed with the consistency and care with which the residents were treated. Now, after over a year, I am completely satisfied that I made the right choice. Although The Lantern isn’t perfect, anything that needs to be addressed is taken care of quickly, and it is obvious to me that the goal actually is perfection. From the Executive Director of the facility to the wonderful staff in every area (Nursing, Activities, Dining Hall, Reception Desk and all other support areas, etc.) we have been treated with caring, compassion, professionalism, and competence. Although I had high hopes when I moved my husband, I didn’t expect that The Lantern would also become a true community of friendship and caring. The staff and residents have become a wonderful family for my husband and me.

The staff is wonderful! Christy is precious and couldn’t have been more helpful in finding a place for my father and helping us get settled. I highly recommend The Lantern.
