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.
