Brighton Gardens of Winston-Salem sits at 2601 Reynolda Rd in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and has offered several kinds of senior care for over 35 years, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term stays including respite care, and hospice services, so whatever a resident needs, they'll probably find some support here. The community covers three stories, and the rooms you can choose from are studio or one bedroom, ranging from about 289 to 435 square feet, with cozy beds, soft lighting, and space for residents to bring things from home to make the space feel just right, and bathrooms are set up with vanities, grab bars, and showers for easy use, whether you're someone who gets around on your own or needs help.
Staff past the inviting reception area stay on site 24/7 and can help with all sorts of daily tasks, like taking medicine, helping with bathing, getting dressed, and even things like using mechanical lifts for folks who can't get up on their own, and the nurses are around, with someone always able to call a doctor if needed, which fits all levels of care from light help to those who need quite a bit. The place welcomes pets and lets residents make the rooms their own, so people don't have to leave important things or companions behind, and folks can enjoy common areas that have fireplaces, pianos, TVs, and games, or relax in the outdoor courtyard with its trees and walking paths, or even sit on the porch in rocking chairs if that's what suits them.
For dining, people eat in bright dining rooms or the Bistro, with tables dressed up with fresh linens and flowers, and the kitchen can cook up food that follows special diets, whether it's high in fiber, low in sodium, or vegetarian, and they'll even set up private dining if family visits. They've set up a wide selection of things to do each day so residents can keep busy and connected, like balloon volleyball, music, crafts, baking, walking clubs, cards, and programs like the Reminiscence Program or Terrace Club for memory care, and activities extend to field trips, concerts, and even celebrations for holidays and birthdays, all run by a full-time activity director.
Memory care gets close attention here, with separate and secure living areas for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the property uses wander alert technology like special bracelets for those prone to wandering or who might be at risk for leaving, so staff know if anyone needs help. In the memory care area, the focus stays on individualized support, cognitive exercises, and calm daily routines to help people feel safe, and there are even separate special care units just for these residents, with staff trained for behavioral challenges or symptoms.
The building itself has a library, activity rooms, craft spaces, garden areas, model living rooms, patios, sunrooms, solariums, a beauty shop, and a gift shop, and there's a nature trail out back, so if someone wants fresh air or some quiet time, they'll have options. Transportation services are available for trips off the property, to see the doctor, or even just to get out for an event. The community welcomes those who need incontinence care, diabetic support, behavioral care, help with wandering, or any supervision from a gentle, knowledgeable staff. Residents can attend devotional services both onsite and off, and with options like Dignity Home Care and the focus on relationship-centered care, the environment feels steady, welcoming, and focused on real support instead of fancy promises.
