  • Very pleased

    Our mother had a medical emergency that ended in her needing an assisted living facility. We were thrilled to find Essex of Ozark was able accommodate us on short notice. They were incredibly helpful, guiding us through the application and other necessary paperwork. Before we got mom placed, and even more so now, they are very communicative whether it be a financial, medical, emotional or other issue. This is a whole new way of life for mom, but they've helped her acclimate and are sensitive to her emotional and physical well-being. She loves the home-cooked meals, too! I've enjoyed getting to know [name removed] and [name removed] and am confident mom is safely in the right place!
