Overview of St. Joseph of the Pines, a CCRC

St. Joseph of the Pines is a continuing care retirement community in Southern Pines, NC, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Independent living provides a private residence with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care is secured and supervised for someone at risk of wandering, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving between levels can happen without leaving the community. There are 176 beds, all with private rooms, so each resident has an individual room rather than sharing one. Pets are allowed, which means residents may keep a pet with them.

Payment options are Medicare and private pay. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, but not long term residence, while private pay means care is paid for directly. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 26 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time assigned to each resident.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in North Carolina?

Assisted living in North Carolina supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Does North Carolina Medicaid cover memory care?

North Carolina Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including North Carolina) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
