Wishing she had moved years earlier

I will say that my mom loved SP Gracious Living. She was not able to be there but 3 months. She made friends. She played bingo and won so often that it gave her a thrill. She enjoyed the staff, the food and the other residents. She told me she wished she had moved there years earlier. Had mom not passed away, I am certain she would still be at Gracious Living and very happy about it.

Southern Pines - Great place for a loved one

The facility is so very clean, bright, nicely decorated and has a friendly feel to it that you notice immediately when you enter I have had limited interaction with them, but each one I have had has been great! I would and have already recommended Southern Pines to a couple of friends of mine for their own parents.

Small town community that felt like home from the first day

Southern Pines Gracious Living has been a very good place for my mom, small enough that everyone knows each other and greats you when you come in. Staff is curious and helpful when needed. They don't provide nurse care or therapy but have some companies on site that do. I could not be happier with those providers!

My Experience

If you are not particular about the dishes you eat, and you are willing to spend two hours eating a meal it is okay. There is no security during the day. The doors are locked at 8 pm but someone could follow some else in. They could make a lot of improvement but they seem to want to make changes. For the price it's okay.

Review for Southern Pines

She loved it there. We didn't require the Care Services, if you mean someone assisting her with basic things. She was pretty self sufficient.

Friendly staff and residents, like a resort for retirees.

What our family likes the most about the Southern Pines community is the staff and other residents. They are all very friendly and very caring people. The meals that are prepared are great and they offer a lot of activities. We would recommend this community to other families, but it is expensive.

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.

Met all our needs.

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.

Our family had an in person tour and the people who run the place were fantastic. They invited us to have a meal with them and the food was wonderful, however for how expensive it was the community was very worn down. It needed some TLC.
