Providence meadows has been a great place for my dad and stepmother. Comfortable, clean, beautiful grounds, 3 meals a day and easy monthly rent. Their apartments have nice patios with woodsy views and very quiet. The staff have all been exceptionally helpful and personal. They get to know the residents and have been integral in helping me to help my dad. I highly recommend Prov Meadows if you’re searching for a safe place for your family.
Southern Pines Gracious Living has been a very good place for my mom, small enough that everyone knows each other and greats you when you come in. Staff is curious and helpful when needed. They don't provide nurse care or therapy but have some companies on site that do. I could not be happier with those providers!
The residents and staff are generally very friendly. The food is good. The housekeeping staff is poorly trained and managed. The dining room staff are good and very helpful to residents. The chef won 2nd place for his entrée in the "Chef Wars" against 5 other facilities. The smaller size means you get to know almost everyone. They have an "ambassador " program in which every new resident is assigned an ambassador, or mentor, to help them navigate during their first few days here, with weekly follow-ups for several weeks.
