They truly care about their residents at Bay Lake. It is hard to move your loved one into a community but they have made us feel so relieved with the compassion they have shown. Mom seems to have actually improved since moving here and we are very happy with our decision.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Virginia Beach, VA

I would tell anyone to try your best to get your loved in there. My loved one was well taken care of by the staff. The staff was the same for the time my loved one was there. This helped my loved one feel comfortable.

Brookdale Elizabeth City

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.
