The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center of Excellence, Louisville sits next to Morning Pointe of Louisville Senior Living on South Hurstbourne Parkway in Fern Creek, Kentucky. The building is one-story and designed just for people with Alzheimer's disease and other kinds of memory loss, offering a safe, secure, and welcoming place for seniors who need help with memory care. The Lantern focuses on helping residents keep as much independence as possible while also making sure everyone stays safe and comfortable, with clinical staff and licensed nurses available around the clock for health, wellness checks, and medication management. Residents live in studio rooms or apartments with features like kitchens or kitchenettes, cable TV, in-room safety and handicap help, washers and dryers, and a sprinkler system. The community handles laundry, housekeeping, and maintenance, and has property features like a salon and barbershop, activity rooms, sitting and living areas, outdoor gardens, and guest parking.
Memory care and support programs fit early to moderately severe stages of Alzheimer's and dementia, focusing on daily routines, physical activity, arts and crafts, music, and lifelong learning activities to keep minds active and spirits high. There are also social activities, health and wellness programs, supportive transportation, and outings planned by experienced staff, plus chances for residents to volunteer, get involved with intergenerational activities, or join in community projects. Dining services include help with special diets like no-salt or reduced-sweets meals, and staff can help with grooming, bathing, dressing, or moving from bed to chair. The Lantern's environment is home-like, so residents get personal attention, help walking or using a wheelchair, and support with incontinence when they need it. The grounds have places to gather, walk, or enjoy the day in comfort and safety, so people with memory concerns can find comfort and friendship in a setting that fits what they need most.
The Lantern is part of Morning Pointe Senior Living's network, with a focus on dementia and Alzheimer's care, a high average rating of 9.4 out of 10 in Louisville, and a reputation for careful, person-centered support. Its programs focus on keeping residents engaged, supporting memory and wellness, helping with medical needs, and giving seniors a place where staff truly understand memory loss and how to offer fitting care.
