The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center of Excellence is a memory care community in Spring Hill, Tennessee, serving the surrounding areas including Thompson's Station, Columbia, Brentwood, and Williamson and Maury counties. The single-story, home-like community provides dedicated Alzheimer's and dementia care with licensed nurses on campus around the clock.

The care approach emphasizes personalized support grounded in residents' life stories and experiences. Staff are trained in the Best Friends approach to honoring each resident's individual narrative, and the Teepa Snow Positive Approach to Care, a skill-based dementia training program. The community specializes in supporting residents in early to moderately severe stages of Alzheimer's through structured programming focused on individual interests and personal strengths. Services include personal grooming assistance, medication management, and accommodations for specialized diets including no-salt-added and reduced-concentrated-sweets options.

Daily activities and enrichment are central to the community's model. The Meaningful Day program and restaurant-style dining prepared by the culinary team featuring local farm-fresh food are designed to keep each day personal and purposeful. Programming includes intergenerational activities with local schools and colleges, exercise programs, entertainment, and organized group outings led by the professional senior care team.

Residents live in open studio memory care apartments with spacious, purposeful designs that include paint colors chosen to promote peace and calm. Each resident receives a 24-hour emergency pendant, and apartments can be personalized with residents' belongings to feel like home. The Lantern shares a campus with Morning Pointe of Spring Hill, an adjacent assisted living community.
