The Medicare hospice benefit follows the patient: at home, in an adult care home or in a nursing home. Ask each hospice how fast it responds at night and where inpatient care happens when symptoms cannot be controlled at home; the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem fills that role for much of the area.

What does home care cost in Winston-Salem?

No Winston-Salem figure exists; CareScout's 2025 North Carolina median for a non-medical home care worker works out to $30 an hour, about $5,720 a month at 44 hours a week, while home health visits ordered by a doctor cost an eligible Medicare patient nothing.

CAP/DA can pay for aide hours for NC Medicaid members who meet nursing facility level of care, but waiting lists are common. In Forsyth County, Senior Services, Inc. also runs subsidized home care and Meals-on-Wheels for eligible older adults.

How do we pick a home health agency in Winston-Salem?

Ask whether the agency is Medicare-certified for the services the doctor ordered, how quickly it can start after discharge, how often nurses and therapists will come, and who answers the phone at night.

All licensed agencies are on the home health and hospice list. An agency that already works with your parent's doctors or with the discharge planners at Baptist or Forsyth Medical Center can make the first weeks at home go more smoothly.
