The Lantern at Morning Pointe in Powell, TN, is dedicated to memory care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock to oversee clinical needs, manage medications, and coordinate directly with each resident’s physicians. Caregivers trained in dementia support assist with dressing, bathing, mobility, and continence while keeping detailed records that help identify changes in condition early. An emergency call system and routinely scheduled health assessments help maintain a stable medical profile for every resident.

Beyond direct clinical services, the community maintains a secure, purpose-built environment designed to reduce wandering risks and support familiarity. Daily programming includes cognitive exercises, individualized engagement plans, and family participation opportunities that align with each resident’s current abilities. Staff members receive ongoing dementia-specific training so they can deliver consistent verbal cueing, redirection, and behavioral support. Transportation is arranged for off-site medical appointments to keep preventive and specialty care on schedule.

Accommodations consist of private and companion suites equipped with bathrooms featuring grab bars and walk-in showers, basic furnishings, and an in-room emergency response system. Central heating and air conditioning, cable television service, and Wi-Fi are available, and housekeeping and personal laundry services are provided on a regular schedule. Not all suites include every amenity—such as built-in storage or full closet systems—so families can compare layouts during a tour to find the best fit.

Residents receive three meals daily in a dining room designed for smaller groups to minimize distractions and support focus on eating. Menus are planned by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for diabetic, low-sodium, or mechanical-soft diets as ordered by a physician. Staff offer verbal cueing or direct assistance with utensils when needed, and hydration stations and snacks are available throughout the day. Apartments do not include full kitchens, so primary meal service and nutritional monitoring remain centralized in the community’s dining program.
