As the county seat of Forsyth County, Winston-Salem is the central location for many senior care programs in the area. Its Senior Services program helps seniors age comfortably at home as long as possible. Of the nearly 248,000 people who live here, 14.1% are age 65 and older. Seniors and their families can enjoy an afternoon stroll through the Reynolda House Museum of American Art or the historic Old Salem Museums and Gardens. Salem Lake provides outdoor recreation, while Truist Park is a location to watch America’s favorite pastime.
Many seniors in Winston-Salem wish to remain at home while they enjoy the benefits of their community, and Winston-Salem has several home care agencies and companies to consider. The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey indicates the average cost for both home care and home health care, which includes some medical services, to be $3,909 a month. This is slightly higher than the state’s average for home care of $3,813, but those in need of home health care will pay about $100 less than state averages.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Winston-Salem area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

Right at Home has been a life saver for our family! They have been incredibly responsive and flexible as we needed to arrange care for our elderly parents. Initially, after a fall that required emergency surgery, we needed overnight hospital care for our father. Now that he is back home, we have transitioned to in-home care to help both of our parents with daily tasks and challenges. The kind folks at Right at Home have helped us through every phase. Because of the skilled and flexible care provided by the Right at Home nurses, our parents are comfortable and safe in their own home. We are beyond grateful!

I’m using HomeCare.com. It’s fine. They’re very good and very responsive to any concerns I have, and they’ve provided me with a good health care aide, not great necessarily, but good. They also provide light housekeeping, they help me clean myself up, and they take me to my appointment. They get here within a certain time window between 7 and 7:30, and that’s when I need them here. A lot of times my communication is directly with the aides. If she can’t come on a certain day, the agency would contact me to see whether I need some assistance or need somebody to fill me in on a given day. I think I’m paying more than I probably should because they have a mandatory number of days that I can contract for, and that’s probably more than I usually need. To maintain the contract, I have to keep them on a certain number of days.

The Griswold management team is very friendly and concerned that the care they provide is exactly what you need. They are always ready to meet and correct any concerns you may have, but we have never had a problem that needed correcting. The CNA that assists my wife is a jewel and we have been more than pleased with the excellent service she provides. This is by far the best company we have used over the past 29 years and we plan on continuing with them.

So far we have been very pleased with At Home Care; we started using them before Christmas. My mother has Alzheimer’s, so she has a high assistance with activities of daily living. They prep for lunch for her, give her meds, and assist with bathing. My mother gets along fine with the caregiver; she will laugh with the lady if there is a something funny.
When the owner came out and interviewed with us, she took the time.
She asked about what we wanted. She met our mother and then when she decided on the person that she thought would fit what we were asking for, she brought that person out for us for an interview, and she has been really good. We were all very happy with that, and the nicest thing was that they came to the home. For the services, flexibility, and in working with us with what we need, I would give them a 5.

Winston-Salem Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Winston-Salem:

This Senior Services program is for seniors or younger individuals with a disability and who are Medicaid eligible. It provides additional help through the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults to ensure these seniors can live at home safely and receive nourishment and care. Living-at-Home is specific for seniors who need a level of care similar to that of a skilled nursing facility but who wish to stay at home and can do so safely with the right care. To get help through this program, the senior must have a referral from a physician and go through an in-home assessment by a nurse and social worker.
Address: 2895 Shorefair Drive, Winston-Salem, NC 27105

Seniors can sign up for hot meals, frozen meals or grocery deliveries through the program. Volunteers bring the food to the senior’s home and provide a short friendly visit to ensure the senior is remaining healthy. Any homebound senior who is age 60 and older may qualify for the service.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
