From the Residents of Kirby

What will it be like for you? At Kirby Pines, that’s an answer only you can discover. But rest assured, you’ll fit right in. In fact, we have a saying.

Kirby is family.

Kirby Pines Estates is beautiful. The people are very friendly, and it is very clean. They have lots of activities for their residents. They have a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, water aerobics, tai-chi, movie theater, performance theater with stage, live music, arts classes, wood classes, and a library. They have good food too. They provide one meal a day, and you can choose which meal you want to have there. The food is very good. This place is excellent.”

Life Enrichment

There’s a difference between really being engaged with life and the world around you, and just staying busy. At Kirby Pines, we encourage the former. Because when we humans are full participants in life, then the lives we lead last longer, are more fulfilling, and the world around us is a better place for it.

Life and living here isn’t confined to our magnificent 60-acre gated campus. Though it could be. But reaching out to other people and places, bringing many of the joys our wonderful city has to offer right to your doorstep, is our cup of tea. Theatre, literature, music, movies, and the people who create them – they all become part of life at Kirby Pines. Here for you to enjoy at your leisure.

Passion? Dreams? Adventure? When you’re ready, we’re ready for you.

Amenities:

Wellness

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, wellness is a noun defined as “the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.”

And there you have it. If being well is something we want, then we are required to participate, to have it as a goal, and to pursue it. If you’re ready to begin or continue toward that goal, there are many new friends and neighbors right here who welcome you to join them.

So if you like:

Or any number of other clubs, groups, classes, outings, events and experiences that fold together to form that mind/body/spirit three-legged stool we all perch on, then come join us.

We’re ready when you are.

LifeCare

Ask almost any resident here if having the advantage of LifeCare was an important factor in their decision to choose Kirby Pines and their answer will be something like “Of course. But it’s not the reason I’m here.”

LifeCare isn’t about enjoying everything life has to offer on your terms. It’s about being prepared for the future—giving yourself the peace of mind of knowing that your loved ones will have access to quality healthcare if ever needed.

Choosing LifeCare at Kirby Pines means if your health needs change, you have the option to move between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled health care, so you can remain close to family and friends. With LifeCare, you’ll be shielded from rising health care costs, have priority access to all our healthcare services whenever the need might arise, and never have to leave Kirby Pines for healthcare reasons.

In short, if you ever need care, you’ll already know where you’ll receive it, who will provide it, and what it will cost.

That’s the kind of peace of mind we’re all ready for.

Kirby Pines cares for the whole person; body, mind, spirit and social.”
Maxie Dunnam, Kirby Pines Resident

Culinary Arts

Even people who love to cook enjoy going out for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner now and then. And if the time happens to be now—as in right now!—then we are ready for you.

Five—count them—1, 2, 3, 4, 5 separate dining venues to serve you. From bistro to private dining, from a sandwich and a soft drink to the gourmet experience of award-winning, chef-prepared cuisine, you’ll find what you’re looking for. And of course, friends and family are welcome to join you! Just let us know and we’ll set a place for them, too.

Mealtime here is all about us being ready for you when you’re ready to eat.

I love Kirby Pines as its employees are friendly, warm, pleasant, good-natured, offering a variety of activities, good food making, it’s a great place to live!“
Bob Field, Kirby Pines Resident
