Loving Support For Every Stage
In addition to assisted living, we offer two units for people suffering from memory-related illness so residents can age in place.
Stepping Stones
Is designed to support the beginning- to mid-stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease with a more secure environment where residents can get the focused care they need, with the feel of their traditional Morningside neighborhood. Their friends from Assisted Living are even welcome to come visit!
Memory Care
Focuses on late stage memory-related illness, helping residents get the continuity of care they need to feel safe and comfortable. This smaller, quieter neighborhood is quaint and comfortable, featuring a separate, secure courtyard where residents can safely walk and enjoy the outdoors.
We understand how difficult it is to live with memory-related illness–both for you and for your loved one. That’s why our memory care program is personalized to support the mind, body, and soul of each resident.
Living at its Finest
From onsite amenities like our beauty salon and library to lush outdoor courtyards, Morningside House of Ellicott City is designed to not just be a nice place to live, but a place where you can continue to live a life you love.
