Ours is a small, intimate community with 222 residential apartments, each with a fully-equipped kitchen, wall-to-wall carpeting and a 24-hour emergency call system. With our around-the-clock staffing, you can enjoy evenings out or travel for extended periods with greater peace of mind.

We offer a choice of 13 residential apartment models, from a cozy studio to a deluxe two-bedroom to a luxurious penthouse. Most have balconies, and all have glorious views of treed neighborhoods or woods. From some, you can even see Wilde Lake and Columbia’s bustling downtown lakefront.

Vantage House is also one of only two retirement communities in Maryland providing Enhanced Living apartments. The one- and two-bedroom Enhanced Living apartments are designed to provide all the freedom and choices of residential living for people who need some assistance with everyday tasks.

No matter which apartment model you select, the interior choices are all yours. Paint the walls your favorite colors, or wallpaper all the rooms. Cover the carpeting with your heirloom area rugs, if that’s the look you prefer. Start from scratch with all new furniture, or fill your spacious apartment with family treasures and the furniture you’ve loved for years. While you’re enjoying your new home, our experienced and qualified personnel will free you from household chores and maintenance so you will have plenty of time to pursue your favorite interests.

Vantage House is the only Type A Extensive Contract Continuing Care Retirement Community in Howard County. We provide an all-inclusive lifestyle package of accommodations and services with unlimited access to Medicare-certified recuperative or long-term nursing care in our on-site Health Center at virtually no increase in your monthly fee. With fewer worries about the affordability or availability of future health care, you’ll be free to enjoy the active, independent lifestyle awaiting you.
