I
n the early years after Columbia was created in 1967, it sometimes was described
as “the city without grandparents.” Now,
the pioneers who first raised families
here are eligible for Medicare. By 2020, people
65 and older made up more than 14.7% of Howard County’s population.
From housing to health care to clubs, the
county offers a wealth of programs and services for seniors.
HOUSING
Housing options include townhouses,
single-family homes, condominiums and active
adult communities — designated for residents
ages 55 and older — featuring a variety of design elements and maintenance options.
In addition to the sampling below, the
county has a number of assisted-living facilities
and retirement and life-care communities. Call
410-402-8217 for more information.
