Southern Pines Senior Living sits in Thomasville, GA, right across from the Rose Garden and Cherokee Lake Park, where short winters and colorful seasons make for a pleasant setting for seniors. This Charter Senior Living community offers several choices including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and even home care, with everyone getting some kind of personalized support from caregivers and on-site nurses. People who move in will find studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, and many say the spaces feel roomier than most around here, with the building itself being two stories high. There are dining areas offering meals to fit different diets, a fitness center for light exercise, a cozy library, a full-service salon, and welcoming gardens and courtyards. Residents often enjoy activities planned by a full-time director, like water aerobics, bingo, happy hour, gardening, art classes, trips out on the community van, and devotional gatherings in a chapel with stained glass.
The place aims for a homelike, family-style feel, and pets like dogs and cats are welcome, with help for pet care if needed. Staff help around the clock, handling things like grooming reminders, mobility needs-including transfers and lifts-plus incontinence care and diabetes support. The staff also use safety technology like alarmed bracelets for people who might wander, and will care for residents with physical or behavior issues, even if those behaviors are hard to handle. The memory care area sits in its own building for better security for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the team uses special Feather℠ Programming to help keep these residents engaged. There's support for different care levels, even respite and hospice care, as well as continued independence for those who want it.
Southern Pines also has a "Main Street" Welcome Center and spots like a private reading lounge, card room, and chaplain-led services. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and maintenance are included, and parking's available too. They've put out published prices for all apartment types, and families get help from dedicated advisors at no charge, since fees come from the community when a family chooses to move in. There's a strong focus on helping both residents and staff feel respected, loved, and inspired, and families can use resources like caregiver guides and support for managing memory loss or planning finances. Visitors are welcome any time, and tours can be virtual or in-person. Reviews have given the community 4.5 stars, with people mentioning the personal touch, warm staff, and the engaging, homey atmosphere.
