Assisted Living Communities in Edenton, NC

"My daughter's been treated well. The staff seems to be very nice. The place is nice, clean, and no odor. "

"My mother-in-law is staying at The Gates House. It's a clean facility, and everybody has been nice so far. But I feel like we're probably not getting answers as far as trying to find out if they're cleaning her sheets and doing her laundry. And I'm not getting clear answers as to if she's getting the actual care that we're paying for. It goes by a scale, like it starts at $4000 a month and then it can go to $4600 to $4800 depending on the level of care. They're charging us the $4800 because they're saying she needs extra care, but I don't know if she's getting the extra care that we're paying for. The rooms are good size. They have a nice-sized bathroom attached to all the rooms. We have a private room for my mother-in-law, but I haven't seen a room where there's more than one person in it. As for the staff, everybody that we've come across has been pretty nice. I haven't had any issues with them. But I wish I was getting more straightforward answers from them. Most of the food is pretty good. It smells good, too. The couple of times that we have been there, my mother-in-law hasn't complained about it. Regarding value for money, I understand that they're caring for somebody and providing a roof over their head and all that, but it's just an exorbitant amount of money. We're paying extra for extra care, but I'm not getting verification that the things we're paying for are being carried out. Nevertheless, the best part about it is that it's eight minutes away from our house. And we live in a very rural area, so the location is the main thing."

"I went to visit this facility with husband to see his great-grandmother; I was so impressed with the facility. The facility is located in a really nice area. The staff members were really nice and the decorations of the building was nice as well. Overall the place was clean, kind and appeared to be well run. Each apartment includes all meals and basic utilities as part of the monthly fee. Also, residents enjoy daily activities, private dining room for family and guests, library and sitting areas, bistro and billiard activity room, housekeeping services and many other amenities. Other services include a beauty/barber shop for a nominal fee. The food is equivalent to a nice restaurant as well as plentiful. The facility had many different living room areas for sitting. This was really great in case someone didn't feel like cleaning their room for guest; or they just wanted to meet up with their other friends. My husband's great grandmother was really happy with living there and the staff members appeared to be really nice to her. The facility appeared to have many different staff members from each department, so we received a chance to see many different smiling faces. I would recommend this facility as a better choice. "

"My mother was in Edenton House, but now she's back in the hospital again. She's got a room there. We chose this place because of location, what we needed in terms of accommodations, and their willingness to work with us. She was still in the process of assessment, so she didn't get to do therapy. They've been very accommodating while we've been there. The administrative staff have been very helpful to us getting her settled. My mom doesn't like the food. Everything that I've seen has been very clean and very organized. The patients all looked clean and not messy."

"My mother-in-law has moved into The Landings of Albemarle. It's excellent. They are good to their tenants and very attentive. She's adjusting, but I think she likes it. It's brand new, so everything's immaculate. The food, I would say it's decent, it's not the highest quality. They offer salads every day, and they offered two vegetables and a meat, like chicken or country fried steak or something like that with tea, water and coffee. They have a salon, a laundry room, and they have plenty of lobbies. They have a dining hall, game rooms, and plenty of parking. They're getting ready to put in a fishing pier with a gazebo. They're still growing so they're adding things. They offer card games, bingo, puzzles, arts and crafts, potting, and flowering. I like the privacy, and I love the rooms. I think they're pretty roomy and clean. I like that it's small, so they get a lot of attention if they need it. They have transportation for their tenants, even on the independent side, so that if they have to go to the doctor or whatever, they have that available."

"Our tour of Tyrrell House was very nice, but my mother needed to be in a more metropolitan area. I met the executive director, the activities director, sales and marketing, and kitchen staff, and they were all very nice and accommodating, and answered every question that I had. They had studios, shared rooms which were two bedrooms with a shared bathroom, and a bigger room instead of just a little studio. They were all very nice and they had activities posted."
