What should we check first at a Winston-Salem memory care unit?
Confirm the special care unit beds on the state's list, then ask for the written disclosure that G.S. 131D-8 requires, how many staff work inside the unit overnight and which behaviors would lead to a discharge.
Residents of a special care unit who qualify for Special Assistance are paid at the Enhanced Rate, $1,792 a month in 2026, so ask whether the unit takes it. No memory care price is published for Winston-Salem; ask for the rate in writing.
