Heritage Woods Winston-Salem, NC

I like Heritage Woods. I like the food a lot and they have a good variety. The place is nice and they keep it clean. I've got a very nice place with a kitchen, living space, two bedrooms, and two baths. The grounds are very good and they have a lot of nice foliage and flowers. They have a good walkway and the facility is nicely-kept. They have some people who do a good job. They have good exercise equipment and people who come in and play music for us. The place is better than most and is a lot more reasonable than the place I used to be at.

Heritage is a great place. My grandmother lives there and she is very happy. I love to visit her there. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The staff are always kind and helpful.

This facility has really gone down hill. Upper management is slowly running the building as well as the employees in the ground. With residents that have lived here years moving to other senior living quarters. I'm lost as to why not one has stepped in and removed the sitting director from her position. Which I'd like to add is often spent out back smoking with Dining Service Director. They can be found running anyone's name in the ground. From residents to employees alike. No one is safe. Some residents are held with a higher regard than others. Before moving Mom out, I'd noticed the eye rolling that certain residents were receiving from upper management in the dining room. That was literally our breaking straw. No two people are the same. Nor are their paths in life but, I don't feel anyone should be held to any higher of a standard than the next. For these reasons alone, I speak my truth.

Heritage Woods was like a nice hotel. Their facility was great for an assisted living place. Their dining hall was beautiful and gave the residents food options. It was awesome. The offered entertainment, a lot of hands-on stuff, and exercises like Zumba.

I’m at Heritage Woods now. I would rate them very high; they’re a very good facility. Their dining room and kitchen facilities are superior than any place that I have ever been. They have a wonderful, marvelous staff who really take care of the people, and they’re very happy. Heritage Woods is very friendly, very caring, and it is an excellent place to live.

Heritage Woods was really nice. The atmosphere was good. The rooms were neat. My stepfather lived there for a long time. They have a library. They have cards and exercise groups. The staff seemed to be happy.

When Heritage Woods assessed my dad, they thought his memory was bad and that he needed to be in a care facility versus assisted living. However, the facility was very clean and very nice. The people seemed very happy, but it is more for people who can get around a lot better and don't have mental problems like dementia. They have no security for people who pose a flight risk. They can come and go as they please. Their activities were fairly typical -- for instance, they had Bingo, different outings and things like that. The rooms were very nice and large with plenty of storage area. They were very like much like an apartment minus the kitchen. What I like best about this community was the openness and airiness as well as the friendliness of the staff with whom I spoke. They should consider adding a secure area for people that do have dementia.
