South Bay at Mount Pleasant is the community’s Independent Living component and boasts the area’s most stunning gathering and social areas including Patriot’s Pub with a full liquor license in addition to two other dining venues on campus. The INSPIRE Wellness Program offers the benefit of a personal trainer, huge indoor salt water pool and jetted spa in addition to a full offering of pneumatic weight equipment and yoga studio. Residents can also enjoy spa services including a full service salon and massage studio. Outside there is an expansive patio and dining area including a central fireplace and lakeside firepit. Residents often take advantage of the landscaped walkway around the 4 acre lake which also welcomes neighborhood guests as part of the Central Mount Pleasant Development Community.

Shem Creek Health Center offers a total of 24 apartments in its Memory Support Unit and 54 apartments in the Assisted Living Units. There is also availability in Assisted Living for couples to continue to live together and enjoy South Bay’s luxury retirement lifestyle with 24 hour assistance available as needed for one or both members of the couple.
