The Best Communities in Winston Salem, NC

"I toured Harmony at Brookberry Farm. It's a relatively new place. It's very clean and well-kept, and I had a good tour. The washer and dryer were nice, and it's in the bathroom, but I would not need a new kitchen. They only give you one meal, so I didn't like that. You have to pay extra. Their bedrooms and living areas were nice. The staff was very nice. They took me to every floor and showed me their exercise room, one-bedrooms, and all that. It was nice. Their dining area was nice too."

"We chose Clemmons Village I because it was the closest one I could find to my aunt's family. When I went to view it and take a tour, I liked everything about it. Kim, the director, was wonderful. My aunt has a private room and she's got her own bath. She loves to walk so they have wide halls that she can walk in. The dining area was super nice. I was there yesterday at lunchtime and I was not impressed with the food at all. It was macaroni with tomatoes in it, breaded okra, and breaded cod fish. When I look at their calendar, they have something going on all day long, nonstop. They had some kind of church group each morning. The ladies can go to the beauty shop on Wednesdays and yesterday afternoon for their social activity, they were having a banana split. I wish I could have stayed for that, but I couldn't."

"When we went on tour at Clemmons Village II, they had private rooms and a room for a double. It was organized. The staff was cordial. They do daily activities. They have like movie nights, bingo, and stuff like that, so that seems to be interesting. It's everything that would probably fit my uncle's needs."

"I've toured Arbor Ridge at Stanleyville and I think this would be my choice. I was very impressed with it. My choice would have been the 1-bedroom because I liked the size of it. I liked all of the activities that they provide, and I liked the fact that there's someone 24/7 in case there's an emergency. It was very clean and decorated beautifully. The staff that took me on the tour and the one in the office when we came in were both very nice, very helpful, and very informative. I saw the library, the game room, the movie theater, a beauty salon, the dining room, and a lounge room for relaxing. There's also an area that the family could use for gatherings. I went to one area where the residents were playing bingo."

"Cadence Clemmons was okay. There was nothing in particular I liked or disliked about them. They were very nice and friendly. They would speak when we went by. They had a library and a gym. The facility was very clean."

"Mallard Ridge Assisted Living was very nice. Their staff was very excited and we enjoyed them. Both their marketing person and activities director were nice. The facilities were very nice, too. It's clean and the residents were very happy. They had an excellent activity director."

"I took a tour of Arbor Ridge at Kernersville for my father, and the community was really nice. The grounds, the outside, and the inside were well maintained. She showed us the kitchen area, the dining area, and the activities room. They had a hair salon and a barbershop. Everyone was very friendly, and the person who gave us the tour was very thorough. She was really good and very patient, and she took her time to answer our questions. She helped us understand how the process works, and that part was really good. I would feel comfortable putting one of my parents there. It was that nice; I was that pleased."

"My sister will move into Kerner Ridge Assisted Living. The staff seemed knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. Her friends had their parents there, and they said the food was delicious."

"The staff at Brookdale High Point was nice. Their facility was nice, too. It would be my second choice. They had a model room set-up, which helped me visualize how my mother would be situated in one of the rooms. They showed me everything. They were extremely helpful and nice, and they've already called me this morning. The dining area was spacious and nice, too. However, the facility could use some updating. They have a beauty salon, but they didn't have anybody to work in it."

"Priddy Manor Assisted Living was very nice and new, but it was more expensive compared to the other places we toured. The rooms were nice. The residents decorated their own rooms. The staff was very nice and very informative. The dining area looked very nice."

"We were very impressed with Walnut Ridge Assisted Living. The person who gave us the tour and the other personnel, the executive directors, were just great with us in answering all of our questions. Even though we were not able to place Mom there, they followed up and even gave us suggestions of how we might be able to help Mom more. The facility was very clean and all of the residents seemed to be very cared for."

"We went to Brookdale Skeet Club. It was very quiet. We talked to all the residents. They had been there for a long time and were very pleased with the facilities. And just the layout of the whole place was good. The size of the room is large enough for a king-sized bed, chair, and dresser. And maybe a small chest or something, but not more than that. But it's more than adequate for a person. The community felt sort of like it was a home environment."

"I toured Brookdale High Point North Memory Care. It seemed like a nice facility. The residents were engaged. There were magicians at the time, and they were enjoying that. It looked like they were having a nice activity. The patients there seemed to be well-kept. They didn't seem dirty, unkept, or anything like that. The facility overall seemed clean and bright. It seemed like they were well staffed, too. Everybody was very polite. It seemed like a nice facility, but they did not have what my mother needs. The parking space seemed fine. The place wasn't dark and dingy. The patients were out there and participating. They seemed happy. The staff seemed happy, too. The staff who toured us was very, very nice."

"I toured Brookdale High Point North Assisted Living. They were very accommodating. The person that we were supposed to meet wasn't there, so someone else had to show us around. They couldn't give us pricing yesterday, but they're going to email that to me. The facility is very nice. They have a lot of activities. It seems like they take care of the patients very well. There were lots of nice things that the patients could do. They have a bistro there. If you need assisted living, I think it's a good community. It's newer and it doesn't need any updating. It looks nice on the inside. It's very pleasant. They have a fish tank with fish in it in the front entryway, which is nice. The rooms are small, but that's just normal for assisted living these days. It was clean and it's not that old. "
