Dining Services

At Plymouth Place, our staff – led by a nationally recognized chef – plans and prepares three healthy, varied meals daily, all of which are served in our gracious dining rooms. A registered dietician provides menu planning for residents with special dietary needs and for special occasions, chef-prepared meals are served in our private dining room or in your residence.

Social

Wine and cheese socials. Travel. Cultural excursions. Continuing education. There's always something to do at Plymouth Place. Here you can choose from a calendar of social activities that vary from education to leisure to just plain fun.

Pet Companions

At Plymouth Place, people and their loyal companions can retire together. We recognize the benefits that pets afford their senior companions, including better health, more active lifestyles, lower blood pressure and less stress. Apartment and cottage residents aren’t the only ones who can enjoy animal companions. Elsa, our yellow Labrador retriever, will greet you when you arrive in the Health Care Center and visitors, especially children, enjoy watching the birds in the aviaries.
