Assisted Living in Plymouth, Massachusetts

Plymouth, MA, is perhaps one of the best-known cities in the country. This landing site of the Mayflower is rich in history and a popular tourist destination, not only for exploring the Colonial settlement, but also for the natural beauty of the area, especially in the fall, where visitors and residents alike pick apples, pumpkins and admire the fall foliage. Although the winters here are cold and snowy, the summers are sunny and warm. Beyond its place in American lore, Plymouth has many other things to offer elderly residents. Plymouth is about a 40-minute drive from Boston, which has an international airport for ease of visitation and world-class healthcare and other big city amenities. The crime rates in Plymouth are well below the national average, which may make elderly residents, about one in five of the town’s 62,000 residents, feel safer. In addition, SSI and public pensions are exempt from state income tax in Massachusetts, which seniors on a budget may appreciate. 

Assisted living facilities are for seniors who want to live independently but have trouble with grooming, medication management and other routine activities. If you would benefit from light personal care within a friendly community of fellow seniors, assisted living might be for you. The monthly cost of assisted living in Plymouth is $7,000, a somewhat higher price than the Massachusetts average of $6,500.
