I want to share my positive experience regarding my search for independent senior living and the exceptional care my family received. I initially started my search online. I reached out to A Place for Mom. I was immediately impressed by the prompt, professional, and thoughtful support from [name removed]. [name removed] politely provided useful information, developed a plan tailored to our needs, efficiently arranged facility tours, and handled all of my schedule change requests without issue, which was essential to making this process smooth and comfortable for us. Ultimately, we chose Essex House. [name removed], [name removed], their administrative team, and the entire staff have been excellent. They are consistently engaging, honest, and attentive. They impressed us with several proactive touches, such as personal greetings and placing a welcome sign with handwritten messages from staff on the room door. They have handled all of our adjustments with complete professionalism and grace.

This is a very nice facility. I just don't think I can afford it. I like the idea of 3 meals a day. They also provide transportation for doctor's appointments and other outtings.

Holiday Essex House

We have had my brothers, their spouses, and several of my parents, friends tour the facility, and every one of them has been blown away by how clean, safe and beautiful the facility is inside. [Name Removed] and the rest of the staff have patiently put up with a ton of questions that everyone involved in the process has had and been absolutely great about it. The greatest help to us was that he connected us with an organization that could help my parents move, empty their house, and put it on the market for them. That made the transition so much easier and so stress-free that I can't say enough, good things about it.

[names removed] couldn’t have made this process easier. The facility was in beautiful condition and the value was incredible. My parents and I tour the facility just trying to get an idea of what senior living would hold for them and they decided to sign a lease on the spot.

An answer to our prayer

The manager - [name removed] was very kind and helpful. I really appreciated her caring attitude. Also, I hear the food is good. The staff was also very kind. [name removed] the activities director was meeting up with my sister in law the day she arrived to find out her interests. The building is clean and beautiful!

Everyone was sweet and kind and Patient with my mother who was not certain/ sure in this experience. First time she has ACTUALLY looked at a REAL POSSIBILITY. The Amenities were lovely. However, the Suite that was Available was quite a bit SMALLER than she was willing to COMMIT to. For fear of BEING STUCK in a box. Maybe 1 day ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY WILL Arise. Finances Are definitely a factor in WHAT MAKES anything A POSSIBILITY for her... Thank you. Her Daughter

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.
