Salem Terrace in Winston-Salem offers two levels of residential care—assisted living and a secure memory care program. Respite or short-term stays are accepted, giving families a temporary care option while providing residents full access to the community’s services. Diabetes management is available, with staff trained to monitor blood glucose, coordinate medications, and adjust diets as ordered. A physician makes regular rounds, and a speech therapist is on call to address swallowing or communication issues, keeping healthcare support inside the building whenever possible.
Additional medical services are delivered on site to limit travel to outside providers. Licensed nurses handle medication management, incontinence care, and general health monitoring, and they coordinate hospice support when a resident’s needs change. Occupational and physical therapists design individualized plans to maintain mobility and independence, while a podiatrist provides routine foot care. Ambulatory assistance is available for residents who need help moving safely, and the memory care team implements structured routines and redirection techniques tailored to individuals living with dementia.
Living quarters include a selection of private and companion suites; features vary by floor plan, so not every room has every amenity. Many units provide wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, and Wi-Fi access, and residents can take advantage of shared areas such as a central fireplace lounge, a piano room, and landscaped outdoor spaces. On-site parking is offered for residents or guests who drive.
Meals are prepared in house, with three standard seatings each day and an all-day dining option for those who prefer flexible schedules. The kitchen accommodates low-sodium, no-sugar, and vegetarian requests, and families can purchase guest meals to dine alongside residents.
Amenities and programming include indoor and outdoor walking paths, an activity center, library and computer lounge, clubs and community groups, yoga and chair-yoga classes, organized fitness programs, sensory and reminiscence sessions, live music, karaoke, birthday parties, intergenerational events, and a swimming pool. Regular social outings keep residents connected to the greater Winston-Salem community.
