Forsyth Village

Forsyth Village sits at 5100 Lansing Drive in Winston-Salem, NC, and has been around since 2007, serving up to 34 elderly adults with a license from the North Carolina Department of Social Services, and the place has a steady focus on making things comfortable and secure for people no matter what care they need, with options like assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other cognitive problems, and even independent living, plus respite and hospice care when needed, which means you'll find specialized support, like help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and the staff are up at all hours in case any emergencies pop up or if anyone needs two people to help move or needs insulin management, and around the place you'll see both private and semi-private rooms, each with their own bathroom, cable TV, phone, Wi-Fi, and even a kitchenette with a microwave and fridge, so it's a bit like living in your own little apartment with extra help close by. Many people enjoy the meals, which are homemade three times a day with special diets if needed, and there's a dining room, all-day dining, and restaurant-style service so folks don't have to cook, plus laundry and housekeeping get handled too, so no worries about chores piling up. For getting out and about, there's transportation to the doctor, errands, or church, and around the building there are game rooms, a movie theater, fitness center, salon, library, computer lab, and even a chapel so everyone has a place to go, read, play cards, watch movies, visit with family, or get their hair done without ever leaving the premises, and the outdoors holds a garden, patio, and walking paths where people stretch their legs or join in outside programs. There's plenty happening every week, like music and art classes, planned events, pet therapy, games, and community-led activities, along with a mental wellness program if anyone is feeling lonely or blue, and because safety's so important, an emergency alert system and 24-hour supervision are always in place. Forsyth Village has a skilled nursing facility, memory care units, and daily support for those who need more hands-on care, and with all kinds of facility features-from fitness rooms to reading nooks-they really try to fit all kinds of needs, making sure there's something for everyone, whether people need help every day or just a bit now and then.
