At Brookdale Winston-Salem we know that memory losses due to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia are progressive and residents' needs are continually changing. That's why we provide balance in our residents' capabilities, personalities, and preferences to create daily routines that enhance their spirits and increase their sense of purpose. We believe the amount of satisfaction our Alzheimer's and dementia care residents receive from the tasks that fill their days goes a long way to maintaining their sense of purpose and overall satisfaction with life. An integral part of this is our promise to encourage each resident to find Daily Moments of Success. To help our residents achieve these moments, our associates receive the tools and training needed in such key areas as specialized dining and the ongoing monitoring of healthcare and behavioral needs, to name a few.
We provide Alzheimer's and dementia care residents with the lifestyle, housing, and services they need in comfortable surroundings combined with the amenities, programs, and care to help stimulate recognition, recall, and wellness in a safe environment. Through years of caring for individuals with dementia, our professional care staff has learned to create optimal surroundings and approaches to care. Familiar environments that our residents have enjoyed throughout their lives are recreated to help them feel reassured and comfortable. The Alzheimer's and dementia care programs at Brookdale Winston-Salem are built to embrace, not restrict our residents' desire to wander and to provide a sense of belonging.

We were very excited about Brookdale. However, my mom arrived with a UTI and she had some serious transition issues. Brookdale requested we hire a 24 hour nurse immediately. They had her in the hospital after 5 days. They suggested we make other arrangements when she was released. When all was handled, we had paid $12,000 for those 5 days. When we went to clean out the room, no one even asked how my mother was doing. They barely looked at us. Brookdale is a lovely place if you have a person who is quiet, docile and transitions easily. If the resident has difficulties, the staff seems overwhelmed. The place she lives now has much more training and demonstrates much more care - she has had no problems. If you take your loved one to Brookdale, anticipate being nickeled and dimed. You should also hope that your loved one causes no troubles.

We visited Brookdale Winston-Salem. They are a larger community and a lot more residents. It just has a different feel to it. The staff was very friendly and very engaged with the residents. It had a communal shower. There was not a private shower available for her room. Other than that, they were very nice. The location was very convenient.

Brookdale Winston-Salem was really nice. The rooms were nice and good sized. I saw a single room and a double room. They had a dining hall, a TV/family room, and an additional family room type where you could visit. The facility was very clean, and they had a courtyard for sitting.

We liked Brookdale Winston-Salem. It was homey, but all they had was memory care, and the residents move around under their own power. They had rooms where they all gather, talk, and do activities. We were generally satisfied there. The staff member was very cooperative and pleasant. They had somebody on-staff that took care of giving them their daily medications. They had a pharmacy they work with, and they all seemed to work pretty efficiently. They just weren't able to take care of my wife anymore. She started to need more than two people to assist her in doing things, and they weren't equipped to handle that.

My dad is at Brookdale Winston-Salem. I’m impressed with the care that’s available there, with the medical people on staff, with the doctors coming in, with the 24/7 CNAs, and with the cost. They only have 40 residents. It is a smaller place. We got my dad a room by himself, and it is more than he needs. The food seems to be adequate. There is plenty of help from different people when the meals are being served. They go on outings. They take them to the doctor’s and to the grocery store. For such a small facility, they have quite a bit going on.

Brookdale has a welcoming environment. The staff is great, and the level of care is great. The rooms are fine and of a normal size. She likes the food. They do bingo and take residents out.

My dad will move into Brookdale. It seemed very clean. The gentleman I spoke with seemed to be very caring and came out with the assessment for my dad. He was personable. He will be in a semi-private room which is spacious with plenty of room for his personal stuff. The dining area looked clean as well.

Brookdale Winston-Salem is very well kept-up. It has been there for quite a while, and they had remodeled it. She is in a single room, and all the rooms are a nice size. The grounds are immaculate, well-kept, and flowered. They have day trips, and unfortunately my wife is unable to do the day trips because of her condition. The staff is very caring.

Our mother was hospital free for a year and a half. After ten days at Brookdale formerly Clarebridge she was hospitalized for UTI,dehydration. Renal failure. And atrial fibrillation, all signs of nursing care and neglect. Do not put your love one in Brookdale.. Right now she is at home and back to her normal routine and gained energy. We regret that we put her to this facility.

Do not place your loved one here! We took my mother out after only two months because we were so concerned at the lack of care she was receiving. The day we brought her home we discovered her toe was severely infected. She ended up having that toe removed. I rated it one star only because I could not post my review otherwise. They truly do not deserve that.

We didn't like Clare Bridge of Winston-Salem's location. However, their staff was nice. They also have a recreation person there that tries to get people out of their rooms and do what they're able to do.

Excellent home for my Mother. Clean, abundant care, caring staff. Only 38 residents. I would highly recommend Clare Bridge to anyone with a loved one who they can no longer take care of.

Searching for a facility that might be appropiate in the future for my husband, I was very impressed on my recent tour. The facility in Winston-Salem for demensia is lovely, very clean with very nice furnishings, outdoor areas, separate dining rooms, spacious rooms, and the patients I observed were obviously well cared for - and cared about. It is certainly a place I would consider placing my husband when that becomes necerssary

My parent was a resident at ClareBridge due to dementia. I was asked to take my parent to the MD due to her behavior? Alzheimers care facility?
I made an appointment and upon my arrival at ClareBridge found that there was a weeping ulcer on the right great toe. It was swollen three times normal size and angry red. No one knew there was anything wrong with that toe. The "behavior" was pain related which NO ONE questioned or investigated. This is not a facility I would recommend. After six months of care that foot was saved from amputation.
