Brookridge in Winston-Salem operates as a continuing care retirement community, meaning residents can move among care levels without leaving the campus. On-site clinical services include short-term respite stays for caregivers who need a break, regular physical therapy delivered by licensed therapists, and structured diabetes care that covers glucose monitoring, medication management, and diet oversight. These services are designed to reduce hospital visits and keep residents as independent as possible.
Daily oversight is handled by round-the-clock staff who coordinate physician visits, schedule therapy sessions, and track changes in each resident’s condition. Care plans are reviewed frequently and adjusted when mobility, cognition, or health needs shift. Emergency call systems are in place throughout the community, and a dedicated nursing team manages medication administration, wound care, and post-surgical recovery support when required.
Housing options range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger residences. Some units offer wall-to-wall carpet, in-unit washers and dryers, and utilities including cable TV, while others provide more basic setups. Outdoor areas, such as gardens and walking paths, are available to all residents, and select units accommodate small pets. Weekly housekeeping is standard, but not every apartment comes with every amenity listed.
The dining program supplies three daily meals prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with attention to portion control and specialized diets that support diabetes management. Residents can expect a rotating menu, and healthy snacks are available during the day. The staff dietitian works closely with nursing to ensure meal plans align with individual care requirements.
Residents have access to an activity center, organized clubs, health and wellness programming, and a dedicated space for arts and crafts. These services are scheduled throughout the week to encourage social engagement, cognitive stimulation, and physical exercise in accordance with each person’s abilities and medical recommendations.
