Overview of Waterbrooke of Elizabeth City

Waterbrooke of Elizabeth City sits at 143 Rosedale Drive, right next door to Sentara Albemarle Hospital. That location matters more than most addresses do. The community holds a license for assisted living, memory care, and hospice care, which means a resident whose condition shifts does not automatically have to move somewhere new.

Licensed capacity here is 130 beds. That puts Waterbrooke toward the larger end of adult care homes in this part of North Carolina. The neighborhood scores a 49 on Walk Score, which reads as somewhat walkable. Some errands are possible on foot, but the community runs its own transportation for most trips.

In-house physician, psychiatric, and laboratory services are contracted through Albemarle Hospital, so a fair amount of routine clinical work happens without anyone leaving the building. A doctor is on staff, and staffing runs around the clock. Medication management and appointment scheduling are handled by the community. Rehabilitation services, respite care, and home care support round out what is offered.

Residents eat in a restaurant-style dining room. Housekeeping and laundry are provided, transportation is scheduled, and a wellness program organizes the activity calendar. The community collected Best of the Albemarle recognition in 2021 and 2022, plus a Daily Advance Readers’ Choice award in 2020.

State inspection themes at this community have centered on fire-safety systems, staffing and staff credentials, and environmental and hazardous-materials safety. What Waterbrooke offers is scale, a continuum that runs from assisted living through hospice, and clinical access built around a hospital sitting directly next door.
