Every month, residents at The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center of Excellence bring stuffed toys and snacks to Jungle Town Daycare in Chattanooga.

"Both the children and seniors are so excited to see each other," says Juanita Brooks, Lantern Program Director at Morning Pointe. "The kids really enjoy our visit, and we love how it brings joy to our residents and brightens everyone's day."
