Brookdale Elizabeth City

Brookdale Elizabeth City sits in a quiet spot and has offered care to seniors for over 20 years, operating as part of the Brookdale Senior Living network and holding an average rating of 9 out of 10, which is the highest in town, and you'll find a mix of services there like assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even at-home care if that's what's needed. The facility has 76 beds and 86 units, with several room choices including studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, all of them offering options like private bathrooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, and furnished or unfurnished setups, and if you have a small pet, they'll even let them move in, plus they offer pet therapy and provide cozy touches like twin beds and pet beds in the apartments. The staff stays on-site all day and night, seven days a week, and they're trained to help with daily needs such as bathing, getting dressed, grooming, and making sure folks stay on track with their medicine, and they're especially careful with memory care, providing special programs and a safe, structured environment for anyone with Alzheimer's or other dementia issues, including the Clare Bridge Place for tailored dementia support and the Clare Bridge Daily Path to add structure to each person's day. There's an emergency call system in every unit and controlled access in all buildings to help make things safer, and transportation gets provided for errands, doctor visits, or outings, with lots of on- and off-site activities arranged so no one feels bored or left out. Residents can head out to the enclosed courtyards, sit on outdoor patios under pergolas, or walk the paths that wind through the woods, and when the weather isn't fine, there are screened porches, well-lit dining rooms with big tables, fireplaces, and plenty of seating to relax in. Meals get prepared by a professional chef, and the dining program, especially for memory care, is set up so everyone can enjoy healthy, home-cooked food, including international and vegetarian dishes, vegan options, and diets like low salt, with the option for room service and guest meals if family stops by. Housekeeping, laundry, and salon services like hair washing and styling are available, and if someone wants to keep busy, the arts and crafts studio is ready for painting, making things, or joining group projects. The staff help folks keep their independence but step in with more help if someone's needs change, so residents can stay in place and not have to move somewhere else, and there are respite and hospice services for short or end-of-life care, plus adult day care and rehab or home health if needed. Brookdale Elizabeth City keeps the focus on wellness, safety, and independence, bringing a sense of community where every resident gets a care plan built for them, and the days feel a bit brighter with activities, special programs, and attention to both body and mind.
