The staff at Essex House was very nice. The rooms were very nice. They had a small studio and a large studio. They showed me the dining room and the two rooms. It's not a big facility. It's just mostly rooms, and then there's a common room where they eat. They have a piano, and they do different things there. It was like a motel. They have a courtyard, but they don't have a beauty salon. It's been there a while, and it's one of the favorite ones in the area.

I toured Essex House for my father. It was very nice, and he can take with him a lot of his own things. But they didn't accept Medicaid, and the social security wasn't enough to cover the monthly fee. I like that it was close by. The room I looked at was empty and they had cable setup and everything. It would have been furnished with his own belongings. It's just a small community with about 40 people, but it was nice and cozy. The dining and living areas were setup with nice furnishings. The staff who showed us around was the lady that was in charge and she was very forthcoming about the amenities and everything. The appearance of the place is beautiful and clean. It's right off of a creek.

My grandmother had to be placed in a nursing home in early December. She was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease and we could no longer care for her ourselves. We felt so guilty to have to place her in a home, but there was nothing else we could do. We ended up putting her in Essex House, which is in Tappahannock and close to where she grew up. I was scared at first because I've heard such terrible things about nursing homes, but this place turned out to be so great. The facility was nice and my grandmother was roomed with a sweet, old lady who kept her company. The staff there were all so nice and supportive. They treated her with such kindness and respect. Unfortunately my grandmother did not get to stay there very long because she passed away after a couple weeks of being there. The staff notified us right away and the lady that contacted us was crying as well. I think very highly of Essex House and would recommend to to anyone who needed to go to a nursing home.
