Overview of Heritage Woods Senior Living

Facebook

Heritage Woods Senior Living in Winston-Salem, NC, offers assisted living and independent living. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and medication, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having both care levels in one community can allow a resident’s needs to grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

Apartment choices include studios, one-bedroom units and two-bedroom layouts. A studio offers one private space, while a two-bedroom apartment may suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. The range of layouts gives residents different ways to match their living arrangement to their needs.

A Walk Score of 35 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. Residents can also use a walking trail for outdoor walks, with scheduled classes and activities such as bird watching, gardening and star gazing. Religious services are available within the community for residents who want to participate in faith-based services.

An Upcoming Events schedule and a Residents Activity Calendar outline activities and events. Independent living and assisted living residents can therefore choose from community programming while receiving the level of daily support that fits their situation.

Communities are listed from highest-ranked to lowest-ranked based on our methodology.

Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break.

City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
NC DHSR Star Rating (0–4 stars). Issued by North Carolina's Division of Health Service Regulation based on annual facility inspections. Stars reflect overall compliance with state health and safety rules - 4 stars requires scores of 100+ on two consecutive annual inspections. Ratings can change between inspections if new violations or licensure actions occur.
DHSR Quality Score (/200). Each annual inspection starts at a base of 100 points. Facilities earn demerit points for violations and citations, and merit points for correcting issues, maintaining resident/family councils, sprinkler systems, and other quality programs. The "/200" display reflects the two most recent annual inspections combined - giving a longer-term view of compliance trends rather than a single snapshot.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in deficiencies, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
