Friendly, homey, place where everyone knows your name and always has a kind word
Overall the experience has been very good. Fits my moms needs and I thank you all for finding it for us. It's not too big, had a homey feel to it. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Southern Pines community to other families.

Very happy with Southern Pines
5 for all. Seriously, it is such a nice place. And we are locked in for 2 years. Great food. Activity director is friendly and welcoming. The staff lives on site. They are very responsive. The facility is well maintained. There is a five-star chef. There is so much to do your parent will have to choose between activities. Also important - medical is on site. It is a tremendous value for your money. They could use more staffing at meal times, but this is nothing they aren't already aware of.

Would recommend, friendly and caring staff.
The Southern Pines organization is great, very friendly and so helpful. I would not have found the facility without A Place For Mom help. When it comes to the activities they have - Movies, bingo, playing cards, prayer group-Bible study, painting class, different socials(ice cream, popcorn etc) trips to various places in the town, they have bands, singers to entertain. There is a gym facility, activity room where they make different things. CNA services, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist. There is a nice library, a chapel with services.

I have told a number of people (including my neighbor just this afternoon) that it's a great place for my dad. I tell them it's an apartment with a rental agreement, about the meals, shuttle van and cleaning services, and how nice the staff are.

Review for Southern Pines
This was the best place for our loved one. Compared to other places in the area this was great. Easy to get to from hwy1. Not over crowded like some other places, everyone knows your name even the maintenance staff was very caring. The manager called us if they noticed any changes. I would recommend especially if you are independent/ needing minimal assistance.

Review for Southern Pines
My mother is there because of my recommendation. We picked this community, because of the price. It is like a resort. They offer, daily bus trips for shopping, and weekly special bus trips. They offer activities, and amentities, such as; housekeeping, a movie theater, games, and church services. It's a nice atmosphere for meals.

This community was very nice and they gave me all of the information I needed in regards to this community. This community was very attractive but the amenities would have been three times the price.

Fantastic
After almost giving up on finding independent living for my mother, ….”A Place for Mom” came to mind. We called and Sheila was very quick to respond. She actually set up two places to tour that day! After getting her into the facility; they even called to see if everything was going well. I was extremely happy with A Place for Mom!

I would not recommend this community to anyone
Southern Pines is not strict on their covid protocols and limitations, there are people here who have tested positive. People are walking around with no masks on. The management team is extremely disorganized, as well as the maintenance team. Another concerning thing is that they only have one small elevator, and those on the 2nd and 3rd floors would not be able to get out of the building if there was a fire. There is no evacuation plan for those residents.

Our Aunt's New Home
We were able to move my 90-yr old Aunt into Southern Pines Gracious Retirement, in Southern Pines, NC in Mid-October, of this year. She is in a studio apartment in a really beautiful facility, and is very happy to have moved out of her small, cottage style house after living there alone for 25 years. For most of those 25 years, she wouldn't consider moving out of "her" house. But after researching and visiting a number of possible options, I talked her into going with me to look at Southern Pines, and she was blown away by the facilities, the staff, and the so openly friendly residents. She loves bridge, reading, watching sports on TV and almost any group activity. SPGR has all this and more with a card room, a library and a weekly bookmobile; a chapel, a movie theater, an exercise room, an activity room that stays busy all day, all week; transportation to and from shopping, churches, doctor visits, and special field trips and activities; walking paths on the property, three excellent served meals each day in the dining room, and more. Levels of care include independent living thru hospice care. There are two managers on site 24 / day, as well as health care professionals, and therapists during daytime hours. SPGR also has a great working relationship with local hospitals and clinics. She really enjoyed moving in and decorating her apartment, and is very proud of her new home. I strongly recommend SPHGR for anyone looking for a retirement home or assisted living in this area.

My mother and I toured Southern Pines Gracious Living. It was such a pleasant experience. The exterior is so very attractive with walking path and outdoor gardens for those with a green thumb. Our lunch was delicious and the Chef walked everyone through the offerings.We loved the brightness of the interior. The one bedroom units are spacious and well appointed. Our mother is not an assisted living candidate. Having said that we are leaning toward Senior Communiites offering on site services for those that might need some extra help. Southern Pines provides that on site feature. But most comforting is [names removed] live on site and once you meet them you'll be feel at ease; their presence is like your brother and sister are overseeing this large family.

Skip the Assisted Living - check out this facility !
I have a friend staying here and it’s been a very positive experience. We were facing placing our friend in Assisted Living, but we learned we could save a considerable amount of money by moving her into Gracious Living Independent Living and use their in home Care company ( Affordable Family Care ). They send in a licensed caregiver 5 times per day to check in and assist for a small increase in price. They tend to her personal care needs and it’s everything they would do at a far more expensive Assisted Living Facility. This was a much better value than staying at a comparable Assisted Living. We got everything and saved money! 5 stars !!!

Southern Pines is an INDEPENDENT CARE Facility. It is Not Assisted Living. Home Services Available, at additional costs. They do well at what they they provide. Facility is clean and very pleasant and well appointed. Rooms are very nice, well lit, safe. Meals are reliable. Some menu items are not good. Staff is on site and very helpful and attentive when asked. Residents may have their own car. Bus services are good.

about Southern Pines

Southern Pines offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Southern Pines 9.3 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
