My husband and I had a most satisfying and informative visit. The gentleman showing us around and sharing thoughts and information was very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions in a kind and thorough way. We had lunch there which was satisfying. There were a number of choices for food. The time was informative and most enjoyable.

Southern Pines Gracious Retirement Living was independent living only. That's our problem with it. We did a tour of it, and it was a fantastic facility. The staff members were very friendly and very helpful. The apartments are large. I wish they were offering assisted living. They showed us two apartments, the movie room, the gym, and things like that. It was also a reasonable cost.

Review for Southern Pines

Both [name removed] and I are very pleased with our choice of assisted living We have aground floor apt as we have a dog to care for the residents are. Our two bedrooms are a good size with ample closet space What really sold us was that we could bring our dog that we have had for thirteen years.

They were setting up for lunch there. The whole building was just very modern-looking and clean. The man who showed me around, the sales man…

We went to Southern Pines Gracious Retirement Living and toured it. For the two-bedroom unit, it's nearly $6000, and that's not in our price range. We really like it, and so we're trying to figure out how to squeeze pennies out of lemonade, but that's just too pricey. The property where it is located is very, very nice. There are very luscious trees and all that, and it kind of sits up on a hill. I think the location is excellent. The two units that we looked at were very nice and well-kept. We …
