Dining
Our approach to whole-wellness also influences dining at Plymouth Harbor, focusing on far more than nutritional requirements. Dining at Plymouth Harbor equates to resort-level cuisine, where food is savored, meals are social, and dining is memorable.
Residents enjoy fine cuisine in the Mayflower Restaurant, which serves lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. A full-service bar offers a variety of wine selections, beer on tap and by bottle, mixed drinks and other beverages.
Residents can also take advantage of private catering services. These services can be provided inside private residences for small parties. Larger scale receptions and celebrations can be arranged at locations throughout the property, such as the Mezzanine, the Club Room, or the Private Dining Room.
The Atrium Restaurant is also available in the Northwest Garden expansion (opened in 2018). And the comfortable, convenient Chartroom is available in the Smith Care Center.
Activities
To describe Plymouth Harbor as an active retirement community doesn’t do justice to the well-developed list of programs offered to our residents. Take up a new fitness pursuit such as yoga or Tai Chi. Replenish the mind and spirit with one of the many religious services offered in our chapel. Attend civic affairs programs featuring candidate forums, panels on current events, and local speakers. Develop relationships with understanding neighbors through support groups formed around various issues, such as caregiving, low vision, or hearing loss. Plymouth Harbor team members work diligently to develop a slate of dynamic programming designed to fit into your current lifestyle.

Wellness
Summer Rentsch
Director of Wellness
and Programming
At Plymouth Harbor, we understand that taking good care of yourself goes beyond eating your leafy greens and getting adequate sleep. Our view on whole person wellness emphasizes a multi-dimensional approach maintaining broad interests and a healthy lifestyle for an active mind and body.
The seven dimensions of wellness include:
- Emotional – optimism, humor, moods, etc.
- Vocational – learning new skills, pursuing interests and passions
- Intellectual – memory, stimulation, learning and interacting
- Physical – healthy fitness and nutrition habits, preventive care and screenings, safety, mobility
- Spiritual – aligning your values, prayer, meditation, balancing life issues
- Social – warm and respectful interactions, emotional support, relationships with others
- Environmental – good stewardship, respecting resources, choosing processes that re-use and recycle goods, and use of the natural environment for active living
The amenities and programs offered at Plymouth Harbor have been designed with this multi-dimensional philosophy in mind. Our choices include the intellectual stimulation of books, lectures, computer instruction, and workshops. Our chapel provides a sanctuary for mediation and reflection and hosts observances for major religious occasions. Our grounds incorporate the beauty of nature with the opportunity to sit and reflect, and a walking path that outlines the entire campus. Residents are encouraged to continue hobbies and interests and are provided space to do so. Special studios and areas are set aside for various pursuits such as woodworking, art, horticulture, and dance. Our wellness center offers a variety of fitness classes such as water aerobics, yoga, tai chi, bocce ball, line dancing, sit fit, and more. Our environment is pleasing to all the senses with its beautiful surroundings, delicious dining experiences, and polite and caring staff.
