It’s a Beautiful Day in Our Neighborhood
The Morningside House of Ellicott City isn’t just about assisted living or convenient amenities (though we do that, too!). It’s about building and enjoying a community of neighbors and friends. Looking for smiling faces, chats long into the evening, and the support of people who appreciate you for you?
You’ve come to the right place.

Loving Support For Every Stage

Stepping Stones
Memory Care
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.
