Overall Review of Essex Center For Rehabilitation And Healthcare

caveat 14 reviews mention this

Staffing and communication concerns

Residents and families frequently describe delays reaching staff and understaffing.

Many reviews describe understaffing that affects day-to-day help, from leaving residents waiting to not responding to calls. Several families also report phone and front-desk communication problems, including long holds and calls not being returned. A few reviewers contrast that with the staff they personally interacted with, but the overall theme is inconsistent responsiveness when families try to get answers or support.

Food quality draws strong reactions

Food is a frequent point of complaint, with residents and families describing unappetizing meals.

Across multiple reviews, residents and visitors describe food as unappealing or unhealthy, including complaints about meals that were prepared in a way they felt was inappropriate. Some reviewers say they avoided eating because of taste concerns. There are also a few positive comments that the food was good, but the negative dining theme shows up often enough to be a clear pattern.

Several reviews describe cleanliness problems in rooms and bathrooms.

Multiple reviews mention residents being left in soiled conditions for extended periods, along with complaints about dirty bathrooms and overall unsanitary conditions.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Racial discrimination claims appear

Some reviewers allege discriminatory treatment by staff.

A small group of reviews specifically raises concerns about racism and unfair treatment by staff members. These comments include claims of discrimination in how staff members behave toward employees and patients.
