Assisted Living Communities in Elizabeth City, NC

"Brookdale Elizabeth City was very good at what they did. I was there for a month and I never had any problems with them. Their food was good and the room I had was adequate. They cleaned it and took care of it. I am still capable of taking care of myself and exercising and walking, but there were a lot of people that weren't and they took high priority on them, which was good. I enjoyed my freedom of not having a concern for myself about the maintenance of anything during my stay. Everything I needed was there and within walking distance. They kept the people busy by trying to take them somewhere, like drive them somewhere, even if they're wheelchair bound. They would go to places like museums and stuff like that. The facilities were good."

"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."

"I have been to Waterbrooke on several times over this past summer and thought the place was well cleaned and found the staff extremely friendly toward myself and the residents. I was looking for a place to volunteer since our granddaughter were now in school and decided I would like to volunteer here. I had met with Audrey and Dana and had a very pleasant visit with them and a great tour of the facility. I had decided that I would like to work in the Activity department. I had a chance to look at their monthly calander and was most impressed of what I saw. Even after talking to a few residents they told me that they like the activities that were planned. I volunteered to be the chicken who would dance in a chicken suit for the Chicken Dance song. It is so much fun to see the look in the residents eyes when they hear that music begin. They start to clap their hangs and the ones in wheel chair they try to move t the beat of music as well. I even get the residents to get out their and shake it with me. In fact, we entered Waterbrooke in the Chicken Dance video contest thru Bojangles and WON a superbowl party for the entire place with a complete meal compliments of Bojangles. The residents were so extremely happy and we all had a great day like always. The staff at Waterbrooke is so warm, friendly and full of compassion you can see it in their eyes and feel the love they have for the resident thru how they care for them. They all work from their hearts and that is what has drawn me to volunteer here. If you are interested in visiting just call and Audrey C. with gladly show you around.. I do have to say what I was upmost impressed by was the memory care unit. The entire staff works so hard and is dedicated to total love and understanding for each resident. You can see it in their touch from a simple shoulder rub to a pat on the back and then the resident has a big smile on their face.. Again I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking help with their loved ones. SUPERB CARE BY THE ENTIRE STAFF "

"I toured The Landings of Albemarle. When you first come in, it's very open. It's very light. The offices are glass panes, so you can see the employees in and the employees can see out. You're in a very open lobby area. Also, you're not looking down at a resident's wing. They have a nurse's station that is kind of off to the side. Everything is just much more open and the residents' wing is a little bit more private. I only talked with one person, she was a sales rep. I had a very positive feeling. She asked lots of questions. She had lots of information. She didn't have to look up price sheets. She knew exactly what the prices were. It's a much newer facility. It was built with a little bit more modern thinking. The only thing that wasn't great for me was the landscaping. When you walk up it is not well maintained. They had fall decorations up. It's very bright. It was very cheery, but there were some weeds in the flower beds. They had a lovely fit-in patio, but there were no shade umbrellas. There were no plantings. It was attractive. They had nice furniture. They had artificial turf, but on a nice, hot, sunny day, it would have been very hot."

"My mother has been a resident at this assisted living facility since December, 2011. It is a brand new facility that is clean and nicely decorated. My mother receives extremely good care here and the staff is friendly and helpful. Everyone, from the administrator to the maintenance personel are sincerely interested in the well being of the residents. The activity department provides a lot of fun and interesting things to do. "

"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."
