Essex Meadows

Essex Meadows is an excellent facility. They always kept myself and mu sister appraised of my mother's condition and provided excellent care. My mother was not that easyt to deal with in terms of therapy and they displayed tremendous patience.

Our family has had the most wonderful experience at the EM Health Center! My 89 year old father was fortunate enough to get a room there and exceptional care after a bout with pneumonia. He was unable to walk, extremely weak, and there was little we could do to help him. The staff was amazing: kind, professional, caring and cheerful. The PT gals amazing. They had my Dad walking down the corridor unassisted in a week. They had him playing games with other residents. Wow! He has been discharged and we couldn’t be more grateful! The Joffray’s.

You will pay an initial purchase price at Essex Meadows and then pay monthly. The staff and the people we met, the general appearance, and maintenance of the facility were all nice.

This is a lovely facility to independent living. It becomes questionable for assisted living. My father needed to move to the nursing facility, and although he had paid for continuing care, I removed him from Essex Meadows due to poor care. He was given anti-psychotic drugs when he had no condition for which this was proper medication. My sense is that many in the nursing home were drugged into silence. Many were calling for help and no one responded for too long. Those with Alzheimer's seemed especially neglected.
