Essex Meadows is unique among Continuing Care (Life Care) retirement communities. It is located on 104 acres of woodlands which allows a large garden area with raised beds and hiking opportunities. The size, about 250 independent residents, and a 45 bed Health Center, is ideal for getting to know not only all the residents, but the staff. The food is superb. With the exception of those living in six duplexes and a single unit, when the weather is poor, the complete facility is available walking inside. There are a variety of activities which significantly contribute to the residents mental and physical well being. It would be a huge mistake if you did not visit here, and compare with other communities.

The team at Essex Meadows was absolutely wonderful. Following my 87-year-old mother’s hip fracture, the nursing staff provided excellent pain management and displayed incredible patience. The physical therapy team was top-notch, getting her up and moving confidently within just a few weeks. Additionally, the administrators were amazing, guiding us through the complex transitions of senior care with ease. We couldn't have asked for a better place for her to heal.

There is a remarkable culture of care and of kindness abiding at Essex Meadows. Every individual on our staff from Executive Director to Dishwasher to Maintenance Man is intensely predisposed to love seniors. Patient as Job, everyone know your name AND likely your pet's name and your favorite dessert. A ready smile greets you, even if you just spilled that dessert all over the tablecloth!
