Southern Pines, A Charter Senior Living Community, sits next to the Rose Garden and Cherokee Lake Park, giving people who live there easy access to peaceful outdoor spaces, and the place offers a broad range of services for adults 55 and older, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing services, so folks can stay there as their needs change. The community has a 4.5-star rating and collects verified reviews through SeniorAdvisor.com, and people can see published prices for studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments, semi-private rooms, and cottages. The staff makes sure to assess each resident's needs and works with families to develop a care plan that's right for them, and there's always help on hand with staff onsite 24 hours a day, a nurse available, and services from a full-time activity director and a dedicated concierge.
Southern Pines has a warm, homelike feel with nostalgic design, and the leadership team aims to help everyone live life to the fullest while providing comfort and safety, and the community is pet-friendly for some pets. The memory care neighborhood is secured, purpose-built, and uses technology like alarm bracelets to help prevent wandering and keep residents safe, especially those with Alzheimer's or dementia or those who might try to leave or act out. Residents get help with daily living, like meals, bathing, dressing, medication reminders, nutrition, and moving around if they need it-staff can assist with one-person and two-person transfers, mechanical lifts, and sometimes non-ambulatory help. There's also diabetic care for those who monitor blood sugar and need reminders but not insulin injections.
Dining offers restaurant-style meals, room service, guest meals, and special diets like organic, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no sugar, and the community likes to keep things lively with activity programs such as onsite and offsite events, water aerobics, yoga, art classes, gardening, karaoke, trivia, trips, service programs, wine tasting, and pet-focused gatherings, plus there's a card room, a private reading lounge, a beauty salon, and a chapel with stained glass windows for quiet reflection. Southern Pines has a 24-hour visitation policy so family and friends can drop in anytime, and the "Main Street" Welcome Center and common areas help make everyone feel at home. The community offers entry-fee options, respite care for short stays, and independent living cottages for those who want more freedom but still want a little help nearby.
Staff puts effort into making things comfortable and personal, focusing on relationships and meaningful activity through the Flourish℠ Programming that supports resident well-being. There's plenty of support for people who need memory care, assisted living, or just want to live in a community with meals, transportation, parking, and lots of chances to socialize, stay active, or get assistance when needed. The leadership team at Southern Pines comes with decades of experience, and the place has resources for residents and their families at each stage of aging. The environment is friendly and safe, with a strong focus on helping people age well and stay connected in a familiar setting.
