Southern Pines offers three levels of residential care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—so residents can choose the amount of daily support that best fits their needs while remaining on the same campus should conditions change. Independent Living residents maintain an active lifestyle with access to community services; Assisted Living adds help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders; Memory Care employs structured routines and specialized programming designed for those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
Additional medical resources round out the clinical profile of the community. A secured environment supports residents who may wander, and a mental wellness program addresses mood and cognitive concerns. Respite stays are available for short-term recovery or caregiver relief, and targeted diabetes management includes monitoring and dietary oversight. On-site nursing staff are present up to 16 hours a day, working alongside occupational and physical therapists, a podiatrist, and hospice professionals when needed. Services such as incontinence management, ambulatory aid, medication administration, and access to an enclosed courtyard for safe outdoor time are integrated into each care plan.
Residences range from studio and efficiency apartments to larger layouts, some featuring kitchenettes for light meal preparation. Cable or satellite television, Wi-Fi, phone hookups, and individual climate controls are available in many units, and select apartments offer wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-friendly design, or proximity to the butterfly garden. Pet-friendly policies accommodate cats, and parking—both resident and uncovered—is on site. Not every apartment includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific needs during a tour.
Dining is structured around an all-day service model with restaurant-style seating, allowing residents to eat on their own schedule. The culinary team prepares three meals daily and offers guest plates for visiting family. Menus include organic selections as well as international cuisine, with the ability to meet kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar dietary requirements. Seasonal produce and made-to-order options aim to support both taste and prescribed nutrition plans.
Residents have access to a full slate of amenities and programs such as social outings, clubs, and community service opportunities. On campus, they can use the activity center, indoor walking paths, movie room, and swimming pool, or take part in fitness classes, water aerobics, Wii bowling, and Live Well programs. Arts and crafts sessions, dances, birthday celebrations, intergenerational gatherings, and reminiscence programs are organized regularly, while happy hour, wine tastings, and other special events encourage social connection.
