Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community is a large, non-profit senior living facility in Winston-Salem with room for up to 189 residents and several living options, including independent living homes, apartments, assisted living studios and one-bedrooms, and skilled nursing care with 6 certified beds and an average of 4 nursing home residents each day. The place gives care through its nurse manager, CNAs, med techs, dining staff, and housekeepers, with about 7.27 nurse hours per resident each day, which is higher than the state average, though nurse turnover is just under 51%. Residents find services for independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and skilled nursing, so people can stay as their needs change, with Fountain Hill Home Care and the Advantage Program as part of the support. The community has been inspected and has received infection control deficiencies before, including one related to federal standards for infection spread, but their nursing home still has a five-star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a strong health inspection score, and a community rating of 9.1 out of 10, making it the second highest in the area.
You'll find group dining with three meals a day, snacks if you ask, options for food allergies, and meals for diabetes or other special needs. There's help for bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting around, with 24/7 supervision and an emergency alert system in both apartments and for assisted living residents, plus on-site security, cameras in hallways, and locked buildings for safety. There's a pet-friendly policy allowing cats and dogs. The grounds have gardens, walking paths, and activity areas, with community events, an artist spotlight, a features gallery, and even a virtual tour for new residents to see the choices. Residents have organized rides for medical visits, shopping, and outings, and there's housekeeping, laundry service, and maintenance. The community hands out a handbook so residents know the rules and details, and there's a waiting list now, so an application and financial review are needed before moving in. Care focuses on long-term services for adults, with skilled staff on hand, a variety of room layouts, and the ability to move from one type of care to another as needed.
