Great Island by Del Webb sits in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in a private spot with seasonal water views and an expanded deck that looks out to the woods, and offers homes in a neighborhood with lawns, irrigation, and an unfinished walk-out basement for extra space or storage, so folks do get a bit of freedom with their living area and there are single-family homes set up with hardwood floors, air conditioning, a two-car garage, and comfortable rooms like a master suite with tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and a tiled bathroom with two vanities, a soaking tub, and walk-in shower, and while the kitchens have stainless steel appliances, granite or quartz countertops, plenty of cabinet space, and an eat-in nook next to a bay window, the great room's got a vaulted ceiling and a gas fireplace surrounded by marble, besides the formal dining room with wainscoting, which some will appreciate during family meals or quiet dinners.
This is a community for folks 55 or older and has a clubhouse, indoor pool, fitness center, arts room, library, spa, walking paths, and opportunities for outdoor programs-plus there are movie nights, fitness and wellness programs, and resident-run activities for those looking to stay busy-and for anyone needing a bit more support, there's a range of care options from independent living to assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with 24-hour support in secure environments, specialized programs with memory-enhancing activities, and help with medication, dressing, meals, housekeeping, and bathing and all that, which is handled with care and respect.
There are a few hospital and skilled nursing partnerships tied to the larger local senior living providers like Sunrise of Plymouth Beach and Benchmark Senior Living, along with board and care homes for those who prefer smaller settings-some houses host up to six people for daily hands-on care, while others function like regular retirement communities, so you get a whole range of living and service levels, from staying independent with a few optional supports to full-time care for illness, surgery recovery, or serious medical needs.
Dining at Great Island covers a lot of ground-there's a bistro, a private dining room for special meals, and a standard dining room offering all-day eating options, as well as menus for those with specific allergies, diabetes, or other restrictions, and staff will help with meal prep and personal care as needed, and there's Wi-Fi, private baths, and telephone service in rooms, along with a 24-hour call system for emergencies.
Great Island also keeps up the landscaping, offers climate risk and property details for planners, and if someone's interested in moving in, the walk-in model home and welcome center is open daily, and there's help with all the paperwork, moving, and family support, whether you want to buy, sell, or rent in this active adult community-plus, for those folks who want access to local schools or transit, information is readily available, so people can really see if the place fits their needs and style of life and care.
