Winston-Salem Senior AdvisorWhat does the Winston-Salem senior care directory cover?
It covers 271 active licenses across Forsyth, Davidson, Davie, Stokes and Yadkin counties: every adult care home, family care home, nursing home, home care agency and hospice the state lists, with the state's own stars beside each assisted living home and Medicare's Care Compare figures beside each of the 31 certified nursing homes we could match.
| County | Adult care homes | Family care homes | Dementia units | Nursing homes | Home health | Hospice | Home care |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forsyth County | 30 | 9 | 16 | 16 | 11 | 2 | 125 |
| Davidson County | 5 | 3 | 6 | 8 | 5 | 3 | 18 |
| Davie County | 3 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Stokes County | 6 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Yadkin County | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
What records is the directory built from?
Five public files and nothing else: the state's adult care and nursing home rosters, its special care unit count, its star ratings with posted surveys, the 36-month penalty list (all pulled November 6, 2026), and CMS's Provider Information file for nursing homes; we never copy listings from aggregator sites or claims from facility marketing.
A dated source note sits at the foot of every list. Assisted living homes and matched nursing homes each get a full page of their own, while home care agencies and hospices are shown as rows with their license details.
How do we search and sort the lists?
Type a name or street into the search box, narrow by county, town, license type or rating with the drop-downs, and click any column heading to sort; for example, you can bring up only Stokes County's adult care homes and rank them by beds.
Can families read the state's inspection reports for assisted living?
They can. North Carolina publishes the survey documents, rating and recent fines for each adult care home and family care home, and our page for each home links straight to them in date order.
Nursing home inspections are published federally instead, as survey dates and deficiency totals on Care Compare, which our nursing home rows repeat. Day programs for adults are certified by a different division of state government, so they do not appear in these lists.
