Wesley Pines Retirement Community

Wesley Pines Retirement Community sits on a big 49-acre campus at 1000 Wesley Pines Road in Lumberton, North Carolina, and offers a place for folks aged 55 and over who want independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation all in one place with priority access if their needs change, and some people call that a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC. The grounds have well-kept walking trails, gardens, picnic spots, a gazebo, and plenty of outdoor sitting areas so residents can enjoy some fresh air, take a walk, or just sit and relax if they want, and the whole community's got security services, an emergency call system with daily check-ins, and staff on-site all the time to keep everyone safe. People move into maintenance-free cottages, villas, or apartments with different floor plans, with independent living options ranging from spacious two-bedroom homes about 1,050 to over 2,300 square feet, where they don't have to worry about things like lawn care, cleaning, or home repairs since the staff takes care of those chores for them, and cable, heating, air conditioning, water, sewer, trash, and common area internet are included. The dining services provide restaurant-style meals in a country kitchen setting, and folks can use spaces like a creative arts studio, a library with computer access, and a card and game room, plus there's a fully equipped fitness center, a therapy suite for treatments, and even beauty salon and barber services on-site. There are scheduled rides for medical appointments, events, and shopping, and weekly laundry and twice-a-week housekeeping come as part of living there, so residents can spend more time enjoying club meetings, gardening, line dancing, wellness workshops, art, writing, visits to nearby churches, civic clubs, theaters, golf courses, or classes at UNC-Pembroke and Robeson County Community College. When someone needs more help, the community's assisted living provides day-to-day support, like bathing, dressing, walking, or taking medicine, and there's memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, along with a health care center offering skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and therapies like intravenous treatments, wound care, feeding tubes, pain management, and specialized nursing, plus medical services including X-ray, podiatry, dental, optometry, psychiatric, and respiratory care. Spiritual needs are met with on-campus worship and chaplain services, and residents find a strong community with regular social, cultural, recreational, educational, and spiritual activities, whether they want to join a group or simply enjoy the outdoors. Wesley Pines has been around since 1977 as the first and only CCRC in Lumberton, related by faith to the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church, and it's owned by The United Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc. and managed together with Life Care Services LLC, with a team and directors ready to help with admissions or questions about sales and marketing. The main thing is that Wesley Pines tries to make it easier for older adults to live safely, keep as much independence as possible, and stay involved in a friendly community.
