Located in the central part of the state, about 20 miles south of Winston-Salem, Lexington has a population of 18,917 people, 15.4 percent of whom are 65 or over, which is about 2,913 residents. To accommodate seniors who may need assisted living services, there are four assisted living facilities in the area, three located in Lexington and one in nearby Linwood.
