Belle Meade Retirement Community

Belle Meade at St. Joseph of the Pines is a retirement community at 100 Waters Dr in Southern Pines, NC, and gives seniors a place where they can age in place. The community offers many living options including independent living apartment homes, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing for people who need more help after an illness or hospital stay, so folks can stay in one spot even as their needs change. Staff are fully trained, friendly, and always on hand to give support with things like medicine, bathing, dressing, getting around, and daily tasks, and there are services for people who can't walk or need more supervision. There's a strong focus on safety with emergency alert systems, a 24-hour call system, transportation, parking, move-in help, and concierge services to make life easier. Residents can join social, educational, and fun activities, including games, arts, movies, and resident-run events, and there are daily schedules so folks can always find something to do with others and make new friends. People can decorate their own suites with favorite furniture, and apartments have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, phones, and fast internet, so everyone can feel at home. Meal services here have restaurant-style dining, all-day dining, and meals cooked by a professional chef, and special diets like allergy, diabetes, or other health needs are covered, so residents can eat both safely and comfortably. Community spaces include a library, game room, movie theater, activity and arts rooms, fitness and wellness rooms, and a community garden, with plenty of walking paths and outdoor programs, so there are lots of places to relax or stay active. Belle Meade has easy access to nearby cafes, restaurants, shops, outdoor spots, and medical centers, making trips out simple. Office hours run Monday through Thursday from 9am to 5pm and Friday from 9am to 3pm, and though you're best to make an appointment, they have a virtual tour available if you want to look around first.
