Morning Pointe of Lexington gives seniors a variety of living choices, with options for assisted living, independent living, respite care, adult day care, and memory care all on one campus, and there's even a separate area called The Lantern at Morning Pointe that houses memory care residents, where they get more specialized help for things like Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia in a secure building designed so folks don't easily wander off, and some residents wear bracelets that trigger alarms if they try to leave without staff knowing. The community's got air conditioning throughout, and there's lots of space for gathering, like a private dining room, library, courtyards, indoor and outdoor seating, and gardens for relaxing or getting involved with gardening clubs, while the fitness center and wellness programs cover things like meditation, fellowship, and those regular exercise classes.
Residents live in private apartments, some even come furnished, and many feature kitchenettes, private bathrooms, emergency call systems, and cable, and you'll find easy-access, wheelchair-friendly showers. Folks with pets can keep dogs and cats, and the staff offers pet therapy as well, and pets have access to gardens and walking areas. Meals are served restaurant-style, any time of day, and there's room service and a private dining space, plus diet options such as gluten-free, low or no salt, and low sugar, with a registered dietitian creating menus and mostly using fresh, local produce.
Staff members, including licensed nurses and aides, are onsite 24 hours a day, with a nurse always available and a doctor on call, so help's close for health checks, medication management, diabetes care (including blood sugar checks and insulin injections), and support for grooming, bathing, nutrition, and getting up or about, especially for folks who need cues or reminders. Therapies like physical, occupational, and speech are all available onsite, and they handle wound care, recoveries from surgeries or procedures, as well as care for residents who have trouble with incontinence, wandering, or other challenging behaviors, even up to heavy care and behavioral support. If someone's looking for hospice or short-term respite care, those supports are onsite too.
There's always something on the calendar, with daily exercise, yoga, art, gardening, volunteer service projects, educational lectures, devotional services, local outings, and even intergenerational programs with schools and community organizations, and the activity director keeps everyone busy with live entertainment, group trips, and social gatherings. Residents can get to appointments with free transportation, and staff offers regular housekeeping, internet, and cable TV. For folks needing memory support, staff use programs like Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care, the Best Friends Approach, and Morning Pointe's Meaningful Day program, focusing on what each resident can do, their interests, and familiar routines.
The building meets health and safety requirements, passing recent health inspections with no major deficiencies, and the place feels comfortable and homey, with staff known for being patient and kind while helping out, and the campus shows a sense of community and belonging, highlighted by recognitions for engagement and activity programs. Part of the Kentucky Senior Living Association, with the Morning Pointe Foundation nearby offering support like nursing scholarships and caregiver resources, Morning Pointe of Lexington serves seniors at every care level, provides a secure place for memory care, and lets folks age in place while still enjoying nutritious meals, outings, and both social and quiet spaces for everyday life.
