Salemtowne sits on a large, green campus in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and has served seniors for more than 25 years with steady care and a quiet setting where neighbors can get to know each other or find peaceful spots outdoors among gardens and walking paths. The place runs as a nonprofit Life Plan Community rooted in Moravian heritage, and it's known for letting residents move between different levels of care-so those who start out living independently can move to assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing all within the same community if their needs change, and there's even a Continuing Care at Home program for those who want to stay in their own space but need long-term healthcare and support.
Salemtowne offers care that covers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and palliative care, and they also have short-term rehab and respite services for both regular stays and temporary needs, all provided on a campus that spans over 120 acres with brick-faced homes, cottages, and villa apartments that come with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, telephones, and Wi-Fi, so people can settle in and feel at home. Residents find lots to do with scheduled daily activities, art and fitness classes, trips, and games, plus places to gather like a dining room, game room, movie theater, small library, spa, and fitness center, and when hunger strikes, a chef cooks up meals served restaurant-style with choices for special diets, such as diabetes or allergies. People who need help can count on staff with 5.8 nurse hours per resident per day, a 24-hour call system for safety, and assistance with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, along with specialized memory care that includes secure areas and activity programs.
For support, residents get housekeeping, laundry, transportation options for errands or doctor visits, and access to beauty salons and computer centers, plus communities give folks places to spend time outside, like gardens and patios, and a mental wellness program helps those needing extra support. There are asset protection features for members and a feedback system so families can see ratings and reviews, and Salemtowne holds licenses from the NC Department of Insurance and accepts Medicare and Medicaid, operating under a corporate nonprofit structure. The facility's most recent MediCare.gov overall rating is 4 out of 5, with strong marks for health and staff, though the quality score comes in lower, and it sits at 28th out of 103 nursing homes in Winston-Salem. With a focus on comfort, safety, and choices, Salemtowne gives seniors many ways to live, connect, and get care as they need it.
