Magnolia Gardens
Magnolia Gardens sits at 594 Murray Hill Road in Southern Pines, North Carolina, roughly 1.3 miles from the center of town. It is a 110-bed community that combines assisted living, memory care, and respite care under one roof. The Walk Score here is 10, which means the neighborhood is car-dependent.
Rooms come in private and semi-private configurations. The clinical staffing includes nursing services, a doctor on staff, and coverage that runs 24 hours. Rehabilitation services are handled on-site, and respite care gives families a short-term option when a caregiver at home needs relief.
Memory care operates under the name Serenity Place. Residents in that program have access to a computerized medication system and daily medication monitoring, which addresses a practical problem for anyone whose memory loss makes managing their own prescriptions unreliable. Professional staff handle assistance with daily activities.
Residents receive three meals and snacks daily, weekly housekeeping, and weekly personal laundry and linen service. A central bath with whirlpool is available. Transportation is scheduled and includes wheelchair-accessible options, and beauty and barber services operate on-site.
State inspections at this community have touched on fire-safety systems, staffing and staff credentials, and resident rights and protections. Environmental and hazardous-materials safety and housekeeping and upkeep have also come under regulator review.
Medicaid and Medicare are both accepted here, which opens more payment pathways than a private-pay-only community would. Magnolia Gardens presents a specific profile for families to weigh: a named memory care program, a physician on staff, and continuous staffing coverage, set against an inspection history that regulators have engaged with across five distinct areas of the operation.
