Cruising On The Essex

A friend came to visit the Essex House, and remarked that it is like being on a cruise here. I believe that is an apt description of life at Essex, because there are an abundance of activities you can partake in, and plenty of good food, as well as good company with a variety of people here. There is also free transportation to and from various locales in the area if you choose to avail yourself of the opportunity to use those modes of transportation instead of your car. Hence my 5 star review.

Two Year Review From Resident

I like living here! I have made lots of friends and there are plenty of other residents to talk with. I also have a nice, large area to walk (inside and outside). I also use the exercise equipment regularly and we have great library and laundry facilities.

I have lived here for four years. The staff is excellent and very helpful! The chef will try to accommodate your dietary tastes and wants. He has made food that I have suggested he make for some of the snacks. It is a pleasure to interact with the other residents.

Living at Essex House

I love living here. I feel very at home. If I ever had to leave for some reason, I'd want to come back to live here. I have great rapport with the staff and other residents. Also, the food is good and they offer plenty of choices. The food is not repetitious. The staff works hard.

Everyone is so friendly that I feel right at home when I first moved in. They offer a nice variety of food for meals. They also provide bus service for doctor appointments and shopping and other errands.

I've been here 14 years

I like the renovations ... certain places are really nice. The thing that I like least is the food. Soup choices are terrible. My apartment ids fine .. I like it very much. I think the facility is nice the way it is. More nighttime activities needed.

[name removed] Review

I think everything is working out well. I came to live here because I fell and had no relatives to go to for help. I called A Place For Mom. They referred me to Essex House. I am content and feel at home. The price is affordable and I have made many friends. They clean extra if I ask and I am well-pleased. Also, I don't have to cook! Activities are fantastic!

I moved here because I was lonely and began to have a difficult time keeping up my house and yard after my husband passed. It's been nice reconnecting with a couple of old friends and having plenty of other new friends.

Moderately Acceptable Experience

Food only average. 9% rent increase after first year. Would recommend with reservations. The Included housekeeping service in-unit is very minimal.

Nice community

In the beginning there was a big mix up with the contract. This could have cost us a lot. Maybe even going over [name removed] budget and making her move out. [name removed], her daughter, persevered and it got straightened out. Other than that, we couldn't ask for more. Everyone is very helpful and friendly.
