A great place for mom or dad

Emily Green Shores is a great facility and it is definitely a family type atmosphere. The care here is great and the staff members are very attentive. My dad said it felt like home and we really appreciate them. It also sits on the water so it is a beautiful view of the Elizabeth river and City Park. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My Mom has been at Emily Green for just over a year. She has received such sweet care. Any concern I may have is addressed right away. There is a salon, living area, dining area. The food is homemade! Mom has gained some weight which was much needed. She is able to enjoy devotionals, gospel singing and other activities provided by Emily Green. I cannot recommend this facility enough! The staff is sweet and always takes time to chat with us which means a lot since they are the ones with Mom 24/7. Love this place and…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My dad is in Emily Green Shores. They have a library, a salon, a big living room, and they just got a new kitchen. They have no pool.

I visited this facility

I visited Emily Green Shores. I only saw the lobby area. It was a clean, small facility. They could not help me because of the level of care that my mom needed. The one lady I talked to seemed pretty nice. The residents looked reasonably active and appeared to be getting out and about. There was a guy that sat and chit-chatted with me for a little bit. There were a couple of residents that coming in. They seemed to be a bit more mobile because they could not handle wheelchairs there.
