Penick Village Senior Living sits on 38 acres in Southern Pines, North Carolina, and has served older adults since 1964 with a small-town feel but close to city features like a train station and airports if anyone ever wants to travel or have folks visit, and they've always liked keeping things peaceful with garden cottages, comfortable one and two-bedroom apartments with walk-in closets, full kitchens, and even a pub for folks who want a glass of wine or just to visit with neighbors after a meal. The community has 150 independent living units that are all filled up and 41 assisted living units which are also fully reserved or occupied, along with 50 nursing beds, with 30 currently in use, and they also have memory care options for those who need them, so there are choices for folks who need help and those who like living on their own but just want a bit more peace of mind. Their College Campus layout gives people room to walk, play billiards or cards, read, or even paint in the arts room while enjoying garden spaces, movie nights, and resident-led activities, and if someone's interested in swimming or relaxing, there's a pool, spa, and sauna on site, plus fitness and exercise rooms to help folks stay active.
Penick Village has services from basic help like laundry, weekly housekeeping, and meal delivery to more specific needs like medication management, personal care for bathing or dressing, and assistance with moving from bed to a chair, so residents who have more complex medical issues-like insulin monitoring or post-hospital care-can still get support, as well as in-home health care certified through Medicare and hospice care, meaning people can work with doctors and nurses in their own apartments or choose home health or non-medical care as needed. They've got a culinary team preparing breakfasts, lunches, and four-course dinners, with at least one or two prepared meals a day included in most monthly fees, and they allow some pets too, so folks with animal companions don't have to give them up, and there's always someone around with 24-hour staff, a call system in every room, and support close by if anyone needs help day or night.
There's a range of care at Penick Village that changes as people's needs change, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home beds for skilled or long-term care, and options to age in place as health shifts, all under their names like Penick Village Episcopal Home, Southern Pines Residential Care Home, and dementia units for those needing specialized memory support. For people who want to keep busy, there's on and off-site transportation for appointments or outings, maintenance help, an emergency alert system, and a chaplain service for those wanting faith support, plus social activities and programs so residents don't have to feel alone. It's a nonprofit and licensed facility, with a total of 258 residents living on-site, and because they're always working to expand and improve their buildings and grounds, people have access to continuing care, whether they want to come straight into assisted living or move through different types of care over time. Penick Village tries to make it easy to live with dignity, enjoy hobbies, and get the care that's needed without having to worry about moving again.
