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.

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.

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!

Holiday Essex House offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Holiday Essex House 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
