I toured Essex House and I loved the place. Everyone was very friendly, and the person who showed us around was very nice and helpful. I had lunch with the people that lived there. It was quite enjoyable, and I learned a lot from them. The facilities they have were very nice; I'd give everything an A+. They have a TV room, a billiards room, they have a snacks at all times, and there's an elevator. I have to say that was well-equipped, well maintained, and everyone was wonderful.

My mother moved into Essex House, and they're wonderful. The food was excellent, and she had no complaints. Everybody is wonderful, they play Bingo, they havr entertainment come in, they have painting, parties, and they do art work of different types. They take them on trips, they go shopping, have lunch at various restaurants, and plays.

The management of Essex House is very friendly, capable, and they are easy to work with. My dad has been working with them very easily and he doesn't hear very well at all. The food is excellent. They offer three meals a day. They have a lot of activities there. They invite him to numerous things like Christmas dinner, but he doesn't ever go. He has a 1-bedroom apartment with a living room and a kitchenette, and it has a patio door that goes outside. It has been very good.

My relative is in Essex House. It’s a nice, fairly new, and reasonably priced place. The staff is very nice, and they have a lot of activities.

I absolutely loved Essex House, it was great. Everyone was so kind and there's evidently a new manager who is back in there from before. This gentleman came out and he actually sat down with us and he had lunch. His wife came in too and it was really nice. It's more like a family type atmosphere. It was fantastic. The rooms that I saw were very nicely appointed, but it's a lot more than I thought it would be. They have fresh fruits and vegetables available. They have an elevator which we definitely had to use because a friend of mine was with me and she doesn't do steps. It was a wonderful place to visit. The food was fantastic and they had very nice views. Right beside the facility is my family doctor and shopping is extremely close. You can walk out the front door and down to the mall if you want. The Rite Aid is right there and CVS is literally within walking distance. It was very good. The staff was extremely polite and nice. If you needed something, they were right there. There was someone always coming around to refill your coffee or tea or whatever you were drinking. There was also a dessert bar that they brought around. I just couldn't believe how nice everyone was over there. They have a lot of activities. They have cooking, painting, they have a pool table (which is really nice), and they have a computer room, but there's only one computer in there. They probably should have a few more computers. I don't know about the outdoor activities, but they're available too.
