Danby House in Winston-Salem, NC, is permanently closed, so there's no care, services, or amenities available there now, but when it was open, it was a senior living community that offered assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, short-term respite care, and some independent living options. The place had staff to help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. Residents could choose from shared or private rooms, and rooms had private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. There was a dining room with meals made by a professional chef, plus options for allergies or special diets, and you could get meals any time of the day. Danby House used to provide weekly housekeeping, laundry, wellness visits, family meetings, and move-in help, and people had access to social, fitness, and educational activities every day, along with community programs in arts, movies, and spiritual care. The property had gardens, walking paths, outdoor spaces, a fitness center, a spa room, a library, a business room, and a game room, plus transportation and parking. Nurses and staff provided regular checks, a 24-hour call system, and supervision for safety. The community focused on making personalized care plans and supporting seniors who needed extra help, especially those living with memory problems, but since Danby House is permanently closed, none of the services or amenities are available anymore.
Awful to much better, finally
I placed my mom at Danby House and saw it go from awful to much better. It used to have bed bugs, roaches, filthy rooms, lost clothes and ignored medical warnings that led to serious hospitalization, but after leadership changes and new staff (Paula especially) it transformed into a loving, family-like place with attentive caregivers, good food, meaningful activities, excellent Zoom/family communication and real concern for residents. Renovations and staff turnover/pay issues are still a worry, but overall I finally have peace of mind.
