I've been to the Lantern three times, it's total memory care, but they have the same services as assisted living. I was impressed with the staff I saw. The dining area was nice, the menu looked good, and they serve three meals with snacks. I highly recommend it.

Morning Pointe of Clinton is the closest place to where I live. So far, everything is fine. It is a very small, nice, clean place. It's small and quaint, and smells good, too. The rooms are nice and fairly spacious but not too big.

We toured Morning Pointe, and they were very friendly. It was clean. All the people seemed to be smiling -- the workers and the people that lived there. The apartments were very good. The one that we looked at as if we were going to take it, they would redo the carpet and the flooring in the bathroom before my mom moved in. They had activities like bingo and movies. Then, they had music people coming in, and they had trips.

Mom is in Morning Pointe at Clinton. It is very professional and has a warm environment. It is obvious that they know what they are doing. After meeting the staff, they all seem very warm, friendly, and caring. From what I have seen so far, they have been available to my mom when she needs them, which is very important. It seems very clean and well-kept, and this Christmas holiday, it is very festive and inviting. It is very cozy. It is a very nice facility. She was just there last November so I think she is just feeling out which one she is going be more attracted to. Right now, I know she enjoys bingo. I think that she doesn't really appreciate the food because she was born during the depression era where mostly everything was canned, so her appreciation for fresh food is not always good.
It seems very homey. It looks comfortable. Our impression of the dining area is that it is a very nice area for them to come together and converse, eat, and enjoy each other's company. Everything that I see when I am there seems to be above board, and I am very impressed.

I placed my mom at Morning Pointe. She is very familiar with the community. In fact, it is very close to her home, and I have two aunts who have lived there over the years. My mother's best friend is also there, and she visits there a lot. My brother also lives in the area, so it is very convenient.
The employees working there are very warm and caring. They are really there to serve the people. I feel like I am leaving my mother in very good care. My mother loves the staff, and she is happy there. I am very impressed with them, including the people serving the food. The dining room is very nice. It has lots of tables, and people sit in their assigned seats. They also have a room that is off the main dining area that has long tables in it, and once a month, they have family nights there. The meals at family nights are absolutely delicious.
Their rooms are a little small, but they are sufficient. Her room is very clean, and after we placed my mom's furniture and personal items in, put pictures on the wall and hung the curtains, it looked beautiful. They have activities, and my mom plays bingo there. They have people come in and play the piano and other local people to entertain the residents. Last summer, I did a poetry show there that I used to do when I was a young actress. However, I think they can a do little more variety in activities and in the way the meals are served.

I could not ask for any better service for my father. My brother and I are very pleased. Food is wonderful! The staff treats him with respect. They all care from the heart. That is something money cannot buy. We feel very blessed to have Morning Pointe.
