Hear from some of our residents’ families here:

“I just placed a loved one at the Plymouth Inn. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care. Everyone there makes you feel like family! The activities are engaging, the food is delicious, and the care is outstanding. Best decision!”

Pam, Google Review

“My sister Karen was a resident at Plymouth Terrace from 2018 to 2021. Our family could not of found a better place for our sister. She had suffered a stroke in 2005 at age 55. Up until 2018, she was able to live in an independent living apartment. Her needs became too great that she had to move to assisted living. We have been nothing but pleased with the director, the nurses, the aides and basically all their employees. She was monitored on a regular basis to see if she needed anything. Her apartment was kept clean, her laundry was always done and she was given showers on a regular basis. Everytime I called the facility, I was treated with respect and had my questions or concerns dealt with in a timely manner. The staff went over and beyond to keep Karen happy and comfortable.”

Benefits of Being Socially Active in Assisted Living Communities
