Where is Summerwood of Plymouth, and what else is licensed nearby?

Summerwood of Plymouth is at 16205 36th Avenue North, Plymouth, Minnesota 55446, in Hennepin County, where families are served by Trellis, the metro's Area Agency on Aging, through the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433.

Plymouth, one of the largest suburbs by land area in the west metro, is served primarily by North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale and by Maple Grove Hospital for acute care, with a growing number of senior communities built along the Highway 55 and County Road 9 corridors over the past two decades. The city has no rail transit today, though it is included in longer-range regional transit planning. Plymouth's housing stock is relatively newer than the inner-ring suburbs, dominated by 1980s-2000s single-family development now feeding a steady stream of downsizing households. Hennepin County holds most of the metro's major hospitals, including Allina's Abbott Northwestern, M Health Fairview's University of Minnesota Medical Center, HealthPartners Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park and North Memorial in Robbinsdale; ask how the community handles rides to specialist appointments.
