Brookdale Elizabeth City
3.5
My mother is currently a resident at Brookdale Elizabeth City. My biggest issue is with communication. Several things are prompting me to remove my mother from there in the next few weeks. I would recommend this facility to others if the resident didn't have any major health issues.
Edenton Primetime Retirement Center

My husband and I are very happy with Edenton. The staff are good. We have good communication and they are always ready to answer our questions. The community is clean and the grounds are well maintained. The food is good. I would recommend this community.
