We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the beautifully designed facility, as Lones led us through all the spaces. We were impressed by his passion, care and expertise he displayed.

Lones Green at The Lantern at Morning Point has been an absolute lifeline to our family. He has provided us with so much information about how to navigate this very difficult situation. Lones has helped us with so many different issues that we have had to figure out to facilitate her move and make this transition as smooth as possible for her.
