The Lantern at Morning Pointe Russell is structured around a dedicated memory care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses and trained caregivers are on site around-the-clock to monitor health status, manage medications, coordinate physician visits, and respond to emergencies. Individual care plans are reviewed regularly, and the team works closely with residents’ physicians to adjust services such as diabetic management, oxygen therapy, or hospice coordination as needs change.

Beyond the core medical services, the community maintains routine health assessments, vital-sign checks, and fall-prevention protocols. Caregivers assist with activities of daily living—bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility—while specialized life-enrichment staff lead cognitive programs intended to slow memory loss and support remaining abilities. Scheduled transportation is available for outside appointments, and a secured environment with monitored entry points helps ensure resident safety.

Accommodations include private and shared suites equipped with emergency call systems, accessible bathrooms with grab bars, and options for basic or expanded cable television. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are provided, and furnished rooms are available for those who prefer not to bring their own furniture. Some apartments include additional storage or small sitting areas, but not all accommodations have all the features.

Residents receive three daily meals served in a dining room laid out to reduce confusion and promote social interaction. Menus are planned by dietitians and prepared by culinary staff who can accommodate special diets such as low-sodium, heart-healthy, or mechanical-soft. Mealtimes are staggered to offer flexibility, and snacks and hydration stations are available throughout the day. Families are encouraged to join residents for meals, and themed dining events are scheduled regularly to keep menus varied and familiar.
