The Lantern at Morning Pointe Louisville

Brian

The Lantern at Morning Pointe Louisville had activities all the time. They would post stuff on Facebook showing the residents doing activities. When we were there, they'd have people come in and sing for them or play instruments. They had games that they played. My dad, of course, had Alzheimer's, so he would go around and steal anything he could, but it's just part of it. When they noticed that, they made him his own little junk drawer and made pictures of a pencil or scissors, and different items that he might like to take. They would put those around and he'd go pick those up and put them in his junk drawer. I thought that was genius. If he wasn't eating, they would sit down and try to coerce him to eat. If he didn't like his food, they would make something else and bring it to him, something that he would eat. They knew everyone in my family's name. I hadn't even met some of the staff yet, but when I would walk in to visit my dad, they called me by my name and said that my dad's over there, doing this or whatever. They knew where he was. They knew me. His room was bigger. The facility was nicer, cleaner, and the staff seemed to care. Every time I go in, they give me an update on how he was doing or what he was doing. It was great.
