New Magazine Gives Fresh Perspective on Aging

Vantage House has launched a magazine dedicated to expanding views on aging and retirement living. “Fresh Perspective” is distributed to selected households in Howard County and nearby.

The magazine’s editor is L. Andrew Morgan, Marketing Director of the Columbia-based retirement community. The focus of the publication, Morgan said, is “to encourage people to look at retirement living with a fresh set of eyes.”

“Stepping up to a community like Vantage House offers so much more than most realize. It’s not about care and services, it’s about engagement, connection and meaning,” Morgan explained. “The magazine supports an active lifestyle that is fulfilling intellectually, socially, spiritually and in terms of overall wellness.”

The community has historically offered an ambitious calendar of arts and cultural and other recreational activities. Partnerships with local organizations have further enhanced the lifestyle of the members of Vantage House.

An interesting highlight of “Fresh Perspective” is its listing, “Your Guide to Enhancing Wellness,” which share examples of some of the classes, clubs , and culture available to residents.

“One of the greatest assets of living at Vantage House is living in Columbia,” Executive Director Meriann P. Ritacco noted. “Not only is it a ‘city in a garden,’ as founder Jim Rouse called it, it is also a vibrant and forward thinking community with many attractions.”

Issues of “Fresh Perspective” feature inspirational profiles of residents, advice from Vantage House Fitness Coordinator Vivian Smith, and healthy eating tips for older adults from Executive Chef Nile Sara.
