Essex of Mexico

Essex of Mexico is an intimate assisted living community located on green pastures in the quaint city of Mexico, Missouri. The traditionally built community is surrounded by vibrant trees and provides residents with a refreshingly nostalgic environment to call home.

Nearby, residents have convenient access to medical offices, grocery stores, restaurants, banks, churches, and neighborhood parks. Visiting family and friends can also take their loved ones to the nearby city of Columbia to explore sights and attractions.

The community's caregiving staff does its best to understand each resident's needs, preferences, and situation to help ease the transition to the community. They promote independence while being there to assist when needed. Residents benefit from assistance with daily living activities, medication management, and more.

At Essex of Mexico, residents have input into their daily meals and activities to help ensure they lead their desired lifestyles. While residents are off enjoying cherished hobbies and pastimes with other community members, the staff is cooking, cleaning, and fostering an engaging environment.

When residents are seeking alone time, they can easily escape to their cozy bedrooms. The community houses up to 12 residents at a time to support a family-like atmosphere and help facilitate personal relationships.

Staff needs to watch language

The language used by staff in front of the residence is not acceptable! One of the positives about this facility is my loved one has their own bathroom, we did not find that at other places we looked.

Sometimes, they were great. But, often, it was not.

We had our family member there a couple of years ago or so. Sometimes, services were great, but often, it was not. There was a lack of staff to actually help our loved one with what they needed. We wish them the best, but maybe they can improve with appropriate changes.

Staff Is Wonderful

At times my love one can be nothing less than challenging.Very rarely do they have anything positive to say so for this person to rave about the staff is amazing. They are friendly and personable and extremely patient. The food must be delicious because again from a person that complains about everything to say it's good it must be extremely good. The community offers lots of activities such as card playing.
