The Lantern at Morning Pointe Lenoir City specializes in memory care, serving residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nursing staff oversee individualized care plans that are updated regularly in coordination with physicians, ensuring medication management, diabetic monitoring, and other clinical needs are attended to promptly. Caregivers are on duty 24 hours a day to help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and continence, while a secure environment and wander-management technology reduce safety risks.

In addition to hands-on medical support, the community offers a structured calendar of cognitive engagement programs designed for various stages of dementia, along with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available through visiting providers. Short-term respite stays are accepted, and hospice coordination can be arranged when appropriate. Routine housekeeping, personal laundry, scheduled transportation to medical appointments, and family education sessions round out the support services.

Residents choose from private or shared suites that feature accessible bathrooms, emergency call systems, and individual climate controls; some suites add kitchenettes or courtyard views, but not all accommodations have all the features. Maintenance is handled by staff, and common areas include living rooms, secured outdoor walking paths, and a salon.

Daily meals are prepared onsite and served in a communal dining room with staff available to cue or assist residents as needed. Menus are reviewed by a dietitian and can be modified for low-sugar, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Snacks are offered throughout the day, and hydration stations remain accessible to support good nutrition and fluid intake.
