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.

My mother is in Essex Nursing, and Rehabilitation Center. It's very good, and they were one of the top places in the State. We liked the proximity to my place of residence. It's local. I know the administrators. They are local people. The people that are working there had a long length of employment. There is a very low turnover ratio. She is in a double-bed hospital room, which is fair-sized; nothing elegant, it has curtains. It has a place for a sink, bathroom, a closet for each individual bed, and a nightstand. The food was bland to my taste though.
