Formerly a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), a Life Plan Community is where individuals, 62 years of age or better, can enjoy private, maintenance-free residences on an amenity-filled campus with the assurance that, if needed, exceptional healthcare is available. Home care, assisted living, memory care, care management services, rehabilitation, and both short- and long-term skilled nursing care are all on site. A portion of your Entrance Fees and Monthly Service Fees at Plymouth Harbor cover the benefit of 30 days of skilled nursing each year in a semi-private room.

The Monthly Service Fees include all interior and exterior maintenance, lawn care and landscaping, local telephone, cable, internet and WiFi, water, sewer, electricity, weekly housekeeping and linen services, regularly scheduled local transportation, an emergency communication system and 24/7 on site security. The fee also covers wellness programs, community activities and entertainment and the use of the campus amenities. The fee increases slightly for double occupancy.
