Recent reviews for nursing homes in Duck

Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Virginia Beach, VA

5.0
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

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.

Bickford of Virginia Beach

5.0
The communication is excellent, they call frequently to give updates and let us know anything we need to. The room sizes are wonderful, and the food is very good. I would recommend this facility to others.
