Essex Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Michael

The rooms are great with two beds. closet, nightstand and bathroom, my mom and brother love the food and the variety. The staff is great and always taking care of the needs of residents. My mom and brother are very happy. Currently they are both in rehabilitation. My mom will transition to living there permanently and maybe my brother. I can't say enough good things about Essex. Essex is definitely a hidden gem in south Louisville for nursing and rehabilitation. My sister and I love it.

My husband is at Essex Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. I like it. The facility is clean and nice. When my husband first got there, he was placed in the rehab section, and there was a lot of activity. They have a lot of meeting rooms where patients are meeting with each other or with their families. He was then placed in long-term care, so they have more handicapped people, and there are more people in their rooms most of the time. But my husband is still able to walk around and meet other people. It's very bright. The people are cheerful. My husband has had good care. The staff is mainly from the islands, so they are very cheerful. They are very good with the patients. I get to go to treatment planning sessions and so on. The staff is just very cheerful with the patients, and I love that.

I went through Essex Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. It’s a lot smaller, it’s not as nice looking, but I have a friend that works there, and she enjoys it because of the way they treat their people. The rooms were small and there was nothing fantastic about it. It was in a good location.

I have no complaints about Britthaven of South Louisville (Essex Nursing and Rehabilitation Center) at all. They've been wonderful to my dad. The rooms are very nice and clean, and the food is very good. They have a lot of activities for them. They have an area where they can go outside, and they have a fishing pond where they can sit and watch the fish. The nursing staff is wonderful. They play bingo and they had a 4th of July celebration for the residents and their families. They try to get the families as involved in all the activities as possible. Every Sunday they have different church groups that come out. They have a beauty shop where they get their hair done. They're remodeling all the rooms now.

My dad transferred to Essex Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. It was clean. The staff was very nice and accommodating, and there were three nurses at the time. They had a physical therapy room, a salon, and an activities director.

My mom is in Essex and they're very caring and attentive. I like how they give my mom stuff to do. I like everything about them and so far it has been excellent. It really surpassed my expectations. My mom plays the keyboard so they take her to the keyboard they have there. They have concerts during the week, and they have a courtyard. There are many things that I saw on my mom's schedule that she can do if she wants. They serve three meals a day and snacks, and the food is good.
