Citadel Elizabeth City sits among nursing homes in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, with a star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and they follow the 4Ms of age-friendly care-what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility-making sure care fits each older adult's needs. The place's certified as Age-Friendly by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and is part of a larger system, YAD Healthcare, so there's access to specialized care and advanced treatments if needed, and the transition from hospital to home or to long-term care happens with support from 24/7 skilled nursing staff. Residents find long-term care here in private or shared rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, high-speed internet, and furnished spaces, and there are secured areas for safety, especially helpful for those with Alzheimer's or a tendency to wander. The facility has skilled nursing care, sub-acute services, and a 12-16 hour onsite nursing presence every day with 24-hour call systems for supervision, so folks can get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, meal prep, housekeeping, and laundry, while still holding onto as much independence as possible.
For people who only need short-term help after an illness or surgery, Citadel Elizabeth City offers inpatient rehabilitation to help bridge the gap between hospital and home, so recovery's supported with medical, rehab, and social services. In addition to nursing home care, the community provides home health, in-home care, and a new Convenient Care service is coming soon. Scheduled activities keep folks social and active, like movie nights in a community movie theater, music and arts programs, resident-led clubs, game and fitness rooms, and there are also outdoor paths, garden spaces, and a library for anyone who wants a quieter environment. Restaurant-style dining's available all day with meals from a chef, who uses organic ingredients and considers special diets, allergies, and diabetic needs, and there's move-in coordination for new residents who want a smoother process, along with help for family members, too.
The facility accepts Medicaid and Medicare, along with other payment options you can ask about, and offers both furnished and private suites, with floor plan details available upon request. Amenities also include a community spa, wellness room, activity room, transportation to doctor visits, parking, and strong safety systems for emergencies. English is the main language for staff and care, and the location sits inside a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so people have a range of living choices and levels of care if needs change down the line. With a focus on both physical and mental wellbeing, Citadel Elizabeth City creates a safe, welcoming space that helps older adults lead dignified, happy lives, whether they need skilled nursing, Alzheimer's care, assisted living, or just a little extra help with day-to-day living, and as of June 2025, there will be eight certified beds available for new residents.
