Assisted Living Communities in Winston Salem, NC

"I toured the memory area of Cadence Clemmons. It was a nice facility, but I just didn't like the room because it was way back in the far corner. You have to bring your own stuff for your room, so it's however you want it to look. It was a clean and nice facility. The lady I met for the tour was very nice."

"

"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 best about Brookdale High Point was the communication with the facility. The administrator was very cordial, very personable, and nice, just basically told me that whenever I was ready or if we were able to get my dad ready, she'd be more than happy to help us any way that they could. I appreciate that. It didn't look like a medical institution. It looked like a home. It had a homey feel to it in some of the rooms. Some of the rooms had kitchenettes and some were private rooms. Some were rooms that you shared with other people, but I think that was only if they were in bad condition. It's on the north end of the town of High Point. There's a YMCA across the street. There's some shopping and a grocery store less than an eighth of a mile down the road. There are a lot of amenities around there. They have an activities director. They had crafts. They had a calendar up for scheduled events that they do weekly. They have a karaoke or maybe a band that comes in and plays for them. They have hairdressers and barbers that come and cut their hair if they need it. They have a dining area and it's cafeteria style, but it was very nice. The staff seemed very personable. From the ones that I saw, like the administrator that I talked to, everybody knew who she was, just from us walking around. The nurses and the CNAs that I saw seemed to be busy doing what they were supposed to do, but they all seemed very nice and friendly. Everything that I saw seemed to be in working order. Cleanliness was a four. It didn't seem like anything that I saw as I was walking around was broken or anything. It seemed like everything worked."

"This facility was absolutely the cleanest, the nicest, probably the least expensive. The staff at Priddy Manor was really nice and wonderful. The rooms were absolutely fantastic. It's clean with no urine smell, and it's spacious. Their dining room is immaculate. "

"I placed my mother in Walnut Ridge. They have very caring people. It is very clean. They are great. I will highly recommend them. "

"Skeet Club Manor was fine, nice, clean and the programs been good. They have a lot of things that people can do on their own and they have trips where they go out as a group. There doesn't seem to be problems with other people. "

"Brookdale High Point North kept going up in price every year, but I talked to them and they finally reduced the price back to what it was and they're going to reimburse me for the last four months. They're absolutely wonderful and have always taken care of my mom. There's nobody better that I've seen, and I've been everywhere interviewing people. They are very good at taking care of her. They haven't missed a thing. However, the cost keeps going up and getting ridiculous. They're getting to the point where I can't afford it, but I love them and they've always been so good to us. When she got sick with pneumonia, they had her at the emergency room that day, and when she had diarrhea, they took her to the hospital. She even choked on some food and had to perform the Heimlich maneuver, so they saved her life. I'm very pleased with them. They've done things above and beyond the call of duty."

"Brookdale Lexington seemed to be a pretty good place. The staff members were very nice, professional, and polite. I thought the structure of the building was good. The room size seemed to be adequate for my mom. The dining area seemed to have plenty of rooms. I felt like Brookdale Lexington would do a good job. They could take care of my mother if I needed them to."

"I went to Brookdale Northwest Greensboro and spoke to Hailey there. She and the nurse and somebody else went to visit my dad, and they said they wouldn't be able to provide the care that he needed. It looked very clean. Everybody was very nice. The property itself was really nice. It was shaded and had lots of trees. It seemed like you were living out in the country, even though it's not really the country. They had activities going on and stuff like that. I think it was about lunchtime when I was there. I saw them all going into the cafeteria. I saw one room. I think they called it like a Jack and Jill type thing where you share a foyer and a bathroom, and then they have separate bedrooms. It looked nice, but that was gonna be about $3800 a month. I only talked to was Hailey. I had a phone follow-up question, but it was after we knew that dad wasn't gonna be going there. She answered back. I didn't actually tour a whole lot of the area, but everything was clean. It didn't smell bad like where my dad's at now."

"I went to Heritage Greens. I love the entrance to it, I love the inside of it, and I love the common rooms and the dining room. They had this monstrous fish tank that was just beautiful. They served us lunch, and I was very disappointed with the food. I really don't like the salesperson. I put down $500 because I thought this is going to be the place. I called the saleslady and I said I've decided not to go with Heritage Greens. I said I understand I won't get the $500 back, and then she started asking me some questions, which was fine. When I told her the deal I got on the other place, she said, "You know, that's just too good to be true." I didn't like that. It's like telling me I'm stupid and I've made the wrong decision. I didn't think that was professional at all. She even called again a few days later just to confirm, and I said I took the other one. I was not impressed with the sales rep at all. The other people seemed very nice. The apartment was on the first floor. It was very dark, but it was very pretty. They had crown molding and it was painted a beautiful color, but it was very dark. Outside the window, there were hedges, which covered almost the entire window, so I wouldn't have gotten a whole lot of light coming in. It almost felt like I was in a basement. The kitchen was absolutely absurd. The kitchen sink was so small, and it didn't make sense to me. I also did not like their pricing at all. They offered you a price for the apartment, but for your meals, you could choose one of three plans. You could choose the bronze, the silver, or gold. The silver, you got two meals a day, and the gold, you got three meals a day. I also thought the pricing for the meals, if I was going to bring in a guest to have dinner with me, was absolutely ridiculous. The food was not good, and I would never have paid that at a restaurant for that kind of food. I saw how easily they could increase prices. If not on the room itself, they could do it on the meals anytime they wanted to. It's a beautiful place and I think a lot of people enjoy it, but I was pretty much out of their price range when I started adding in all the other things."

"Spring Arbor was very nice and clean. The rooms were small but seemed nice. The staff was very nice. They had an activities room and game room."

"I toured Mary's House Family Care Home. It was wonderful. It's like a home. I was very impressed with the inside. It was clean and very welcoming. I was impressed with the layout of the home. I think there were only two patients, and the staff said they would have up to four. I like this because the fewer patients they have, the better care they can give. Also, it's nearby where I could go and visit. The staff asked me different questions and things. They made me feel very welcome. I felt like everything would go well. The place was fine. Every room was immaculate. I was impressed. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The home was nice. Outside and inside, it was immaculate. It couldn't have been better."

"My husband and I will be moving into Harmony at Greensboro. We liked the location. We saw a nice apartment, it suited us and our furniture fit in it very well. We haven't moved in yet, but we just made a decision. The room was very nice, adequate space for us, and it was the size that we were looking for. The staff was very nice, very helpful, gave us a lot of information, and showed us around."
