Residences at Vantage Point in Columbia

Residences at Vantage Point in Columbia stands as a not-for-profit, non-denominational senior living community for adults 55 and older, providing a full range of care from independent living to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing on a single campus, so folks can stay in one place even if their needs change over time, and you'll find apartment layouts in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom styles, all with private balconies or patios, walk-in closets, and emergency call systems that help residents feel safer, plus you get washers, dryers, cable TV, and Wi-Fi in your place. The staff includes 24-hour nurses, and they help with medication, physical and speech therapy, and other types of rehabilitation, which means there's always some sort of medical support nearby if needed, and the community makes life easier by handling housekeeping, repairs, yardwork, and cooking, while also giving rides around Columbia or a little out of town. There's pet-friendly policies, and you can expect handicap accessibility in both the apartments and common spaces, and you've got features like an expanded fitness center, arts studio, movie theater, and library, along with restaurant-style dining in the Pub, Marketplace, Bistro, and at the Fireside dining room, so people have choices on where they want to eat. Residents enjoy a lounge for relaxing, social outings, and scheduled programs that folks can help shape, making this place a bit more flexible, and there's a focus on keeping people connected to each other and the broader Columbia community. Memory care and Alzheimer's support are part of the design, and the community is SAGECare credentialed to show they understand LGBT aging, with a diverse group of residents and staff. The campus sits right in downtown Columbia, so shopping, galleries, concerts, and theaters are close by, and recent updates mean the apartments and shared spaces are brighter and more modern than before. The community values autonomy and privacy, welcomes pets, celebrates its dedicated team members, and promotes a culture of inclusion that lets folks from different backgrounds feel at home. The Residences at Vantage Point is managed by Life Care Services®, offering what they call a Life Plan Community with eight wellness dimensions to enrich daily life, and services like adult day care, home care support, and nursing and rehab are all available if someone needs them as time goes on.
