Kerner Ridge Assisted Living sits on a quiet, tree-lined road in Kernersville, North Carolina, close to Winston-Salem and Greensboro, and you'll notice right away it has a small, tranquil feel with its Colonial-style brick building on one story, so there aren't any stairs or elevators to worry about. Residents can choose from Studio Deluxe, Private Studio, or Shared Suite floor plans, all with private or semi-private units, kitchenettes, wall-to-wall carpet, private bathrooms, and full handicapped-equipment, and every room has a wireless emergency response system for safety, plus Wi-Fi, cable, telephone hookup, individual climate controls, and lots of closet space. The building's secured, and you can visit pretty much anytime during flexible visiting hours, while residents move about among bright, comfortable common spaces, a big library, patio, enclosed gardens, and outdoor rockers, and there's always a firelit reading corner for a quiet moment.
The staff at Kerner Ridge include certified nursing assistants, personal care workers, a registered nurse who oversees care plans, and a chef who knows special diets like diabetic, low salt, vegetarian, kosher, or renal diets, while medicine reminders, immunization help, skilled nursing, and memory care are available, with Horizons and Pathways to Discovery programs set up right for folks living with Alzheimer's and dementia. Caregivers help around the clock with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, incontinence care, medication management, and mobility support, with regular safety checks and personal medical alert systems in place. You'll find help getting to professional appointments-like doctors, dentists, therapists, and eye doctors-thanks to scheduled transportation, plus trips to local shops or community events, and there's wheelchair-accessible transport for those who need it.
Kerner Ridge aims to make life comfortable with three dietitian-designed, restaurant-style meals served daily, along with snacks three times a day, and guests are welcome for meals or to stay for events. Housekeeping and laundry happen every week, utilities like electricity, water, cable, and Wi-Fi are rolled into one monthly rent, and nobody asks for big buy-ins or long-term contracts here. There's a dedicated activity and social director keeping folks active with daily social, artistic, educational, music, horticultural, and card club activities, well-designed wellness programs, local outings, and events throughout the year, so nobody feels bored or without company.
Residents can take part in religious services and get support with long-term care insurance and veteran's aid benefits, and there's both short- and long-term care available as needs change, including skilled nursing, hospice, therapy services like physical, occupational, speech, and even podiatry and home health. Both independent living and assisted living are offered, along with memory care, and the community stays focused on supporting positive aging, letting each person celebrate their strengths, stay engaged, and feel respected and valued for who they are, all without too much fuss or pressure to join in everything. The team here works to make Kerner Ridge feel like home, using their training in aging, mobility, behavioral management, disability care, diabetes support, chronic disease management, and all-around safety, making sure everyone's needs are attended to with dignity and compassion.
