The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center (Powell)

The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center is a memory care community in Powell, Tennessee, serving north Knox County and surrounding areas. Licensed nurses are on campus around the clock in a single-story, home-like setting designed specifically for residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

The community's care approach is built on the Best Friends™ methodology, which honors each resident's life story, and the Teepa Snow Positive Approach to Care™, a skill-based dementia training program. The Meaningful Day™ program and restaurant-style dining by the culinary team are designed to keep each day personal and purposeful. Care includes personal grooming assistance, medication management, accommodations for specialized diets such as no-salt-added and reduced-concentrated-sweets options, and meals prepared with local farm-fresh ingredients.

Daily life enrichment programs include exercise activities, entertainment, group outings, and intergenerational programming with local schools and colleges. Each resident receives a 24-hour emergency pendant for safety and peace of mind.

The Lantern community features open studio memory care apartments with spacious, purposeful designs. Paint colors and environmental details are selected to promote peace and calm, and residents can personalize their private apartments with personal touches. An assisted living community, Morning Pointe of Powell, operates on the same campus for those who may need a different level of care.
