The 5 Best Continuing Care Retirement Community in Brinklow, Maryland

Columbia residents know why their city consistently appears on lists of top places to live year after year. It’s diverse; it’s inclusive; it’s involved – just like the Residences at Vantage Point. This community of older adults was built on the promise of kinship and diversity for all residents, a true representation of the original mission for Columbia. Plus, there’s a bonus: We’re also a not-for-profit, non-denominational senior living continuing care retirement community (CCRC) offering the security of Life Care. Because of its convenient location within a treed enclave at the heart of Columbia, all the benefits of vibrant urban living – like shopping and concert-going – will be a part of your life. When you’re on Vantage Point’s campus, the services and programs you enjoy will be resident driven to match the pursuits and interests you truly seek. You’ll maintain your autonomy and privacy, while at the same time make it easier to stay connected to the larger community, whether you live in a well-appointed senior living independent apartment or transition in the future to an assisted living, assisted living memory support or skilled nursing residence within our on-site health care continuum.… Read more

"I was in Brooke Grove for rehabilitation for a knee replacement. The place is big, nice and I did have have some very nice and polite aides and nurses. However, only a handful of nurses understanding to bringing my medicine on time. To be specific the night nurse a male was late constantly with my pain meds. No compassionate when I was in so much pain. Not bringing my pain meds when warning him I was beginning to feel pain. He took over 40 minutes to an hour to bring my pain meds. I was in severe pain I was in tears. This happened to me twice and still was going through level 4 to 5 pain. Went through similar issues with the day time nurses. My meds were never correct it was horrible. Not to knock down all staff, most of the other staff were so kind. The fun activities were great and I had a really sweet PT crew. But had no PT done daily for my recovery I did my own PT in my room. Any improvement was because I knew what to do because I had my other knee done 4 yr ago." - Wanda… Read more
