Pine Shadows Retirement Manor sits on a quiet campus with tall pine trees and peaceful gardens, which really helps folks feel at home, and when you walk around you'll see the many pathways and sitting spots where residents can take it easy or watch the birds. The building is focused on safety, with a 24-hour call system, an emergency alert setup in every room, and trained staff ready to respond if someone needs help at any hour. There are 24 suites that come in Standard, Deluxe, or Handicapped options-each one's got its own climate control, cable TV, a phone line, and big closet space for easy organizing, and some rooms are semi-private, so there's a choice for people who want a roommate or want their own space. This is a 55+ community serving assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, continuing care, and even home care for folks who want to stay at home with aid. It's a smaller place, with about 24 total residents, which gives it a cozy, friendly feel, and the staff aim to keep things personal. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, moving from beds to chairs, taking medicine, and even more complex care for those with diabetes or memory problems. They can also get care for incontinence, non-ambulatory needs, or if two people are needed to help move someone safely, and a Registered Nurse Administrator oversees everything with experienced hands.
Meals are served three times a day, cooked at the Manor for both taste and health, and if someone's got food allergies or diabetes, the kitchen will make sure the meal is right for them. You'll find a warm dining room, often with family-style meals and sometimes restaurant-style service or all-day dining if a resident wants a different schedule. Every day, the staff plan activities, movie showings, exercise sessions, music, creative projects, and social events like game nights, so residents always have something to do, and no one has to feel left out. For spiritual needs, there are devotional activities on-site, and transportation's there for doctor visits, errands, or worship off campus. Pine Shadows has a special focus on keeping everybody active, so there's a health room, book room, exercise programs, and activity rooms-plus animal therapy, creative music sessions, and board games, and the calendar is packed with resident-run and community events like movie nights or garden walks.
The building includes handy features like a jacuzzi, sauna, arts room, recreation rooms for socials or crafts, a garden with walking paths, and common areas set up for group activities where you'll often see folks chatting, working on a puzzle, or enjoying music. There's also a barber or parlor, a visiting stylist, and personal care services right there on-site, so you don't have to go out for a haircut or help with grooming. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning take a load off the residents and keep things stress-free, and staff help with move-in coordination so new residents settle in without worry.
The Manor is owned and run by 202 Bryant LLC, with an on-site manager who brings over 25 years of EMS experience, and the community gets strong marks for a helpful, joyful, and kind team of caregivers who know how to make people feel welcome and safe. Care plans are tailored to each resident's needs, and staff watch for changes in health or social interaction to catch problems early. Folks enjoy independence but can get help whenever needed, and there's a choice for more or less care depending on what's needed at the moment. There are community, buy-in, respite, and variable care fees, including a fee for a second person in a room, so families should ask about costs. Pine Shadows stands out for its home-like setting, range of care, and focus on staying social, active, comfortable, and safe, and it offers a simple place where people can age in dignity surrounded by gardens, staff who know them well, and friendly faces they see every day.
