Assisted Living Communities in Elizabeth City, NC

"We toured Brookdale Elizabeth City. Our sales manager, Lisa, was very thorough in explaining the tour itself. Their rooms were singles and doubles. They had bigger ones, too. They were everything from a motel room to an apartment, but they were very clean and very well kept. They have field trips. A resident can have their car, so they can come and go. They have happy hours on Fridays, and they do activities such as yoga and bingo. The dining area was roomy, but they had assigned seats. That was a negative. The community was good. Everybody was friendly. The staff was friendly. The facility itself was tucked away off the main road, but it was very nice. They have outside gardens and outside patios. They have indoor gardening in one of the sections. They have cooking classes. There seems to be a bit more activities at Brookdale as compared to others. Also, they allow pets."

"I went to see Gates House in Gatesville and was very impressed with it. One of their representatives is supposed to go to where my husband is now and evaluate him. I saw some of the assisted living, but the tour is mostly for memory care because my husband has Alzheimer's. I've been talking with one of their representatives for several days now, and she's always been punctual in getting back to me. She keeps me informed and gives me some assurance that they're trying to do what they can to help me. I'm looking for a locked unit for my husband, for safety, and I was impressed with the rooms, the cleanliness, the way the residents appeared there, and the way the staff worked with us. I also like that the rooms were neat and the bathrooms were clean."

"My sister and I visited a few other facilities in the area. We felt that our loved one was best suited for Waterbrooke with the heath issues she was developing. The staff is good and so many activities for the residents and staff answering calls and emails from us."

"My mom will be moving into The Landings of Albemarle. It was built and was supposed to open, but COVID happened. So, it just opened 2 years ago, and the facility was beautiful. I had an aunt that was a millionaire and her facility was extremely expensive, but this one is right there with it. The dining facility was strictly for dining, unlike in other places where the dining room was a group activity facility. Each room had a shower that was no step completely, just a walk-in. In each hallway, there was a huge bathroom that had a huge shower and a huge walk-in tub. So, if a resident either wants the staff to bathe them or they want to have a bath, they have that option. They had an outdoor courtyard in the back that had lighting so that in the evenings they could sit out there and enjoy the fresh air. They had a physical fitness room, and I know that they offered physical fitness classes. If there was an emergency, they had the medical staff for assisted living. It was just a refreshing place. It looked like a place that I'd like to stay in and have someone feed me and the doctor comes and sees me. This young lady had a grandfather who was a resident, and that's the room that she showed me. She was knowledgeable because she asked if my mother was military and I said no, but I am. And so she told me, for the future, what's available for me if I ever choose to select them. Everywhere I looked was clean. It looked like a living room, a family room lodge with a big fireplace, couches, chairs, and lamps. It was very welcoming. It wasn't sterile."

"We used Currituck House for respite care. It was great. They have a seven-day minimum. Most places require 30, but we didn't need 30 days. Uncle was in the memory care section because he has dementia, and they took very good care of him. They treated him very kindly, which is all you want in a place where you're putting someone you love. My uncle had a private room. They had activities, too. I would highly recommend it. The place was clean and his room was a very nice size."

"My mom moved into the Edenton House. We are all 100% happy, and she is 100% happy with the way things are going there, and would you say ecstatic. Everyone that we've come in contact with the Edenton House has been very, very helpful, and very, very loving toward our mom. My mom seems to enjoy the food. Cleanliness is on the top of the list for us, it does not have a smell of anything but cleanliness, and everytime I go in there, they're cleaning. You see them cleaning everywhere, the floors, walls, bathrooms, constantly, I think they're all over the top of it, it's a good job. I know she has enjoyed being with crafts, she's always liked that kind of stuff."
