Essex House Assisted Living, Tappahannock, Virginia

Essex House is a small but caring assisted living facility in Tappahannock, Virginia.

We’re continuing our series of featuring senior care facilities in the Richmond and Northern Neck areas.  This week, we’re profiling the Essex House in Tappahannock, Virginia.

The Essex House is an assisted living facility located at 17976 Tidewater Trail, Tappahannock, VA 22560.  It is managed by the American Retirement Homes compay, which is a family-owned management company for six Assisted Living Residences and ten Personal Care Agencies located throughout Virginia and one Independent Living Residence in Warsaw.

As one of six assisted living facilities, Essex House is small, intimate, and family oriented in feel and layout.  Being smaller in size allows residents to maintain the feeling of home instead of just being a number as they so often are in institutional settings of larger facilities.

Residents may choose private or semi-private furnished rooms.  All of the worrisome household chores are taken care of for the residents so that they may enjoy their days with friends and family or participating in their planned social activity program. 

Nutritious home-cooked meals and snacks are prepared everyday and medication technicians are on staff to ensure that residents take the proper dosage of their medication throughout the day.  Should the time come that your elderly loved one needs assistance in everyday activities of daily living, then they have the staff to assist in any way needed.

Essex House has been serving Virginia Seniors for over 40 years with Senior Living options to meet a variety of needs. Their staff is “dedicated and committed to providing quality care with a personal touch.”

Designed for easy living, each residence offers different room plans, dining options, community living rooms, and outdoor areas that are in stark contrast to the institutional feel of larger facilities.
