Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

15 deficiencies
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Inspection Report Summary for Essex Nursing and Rehabilitation Center
The most recent inspection on July 7, 2025, found deficiencies related to abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and quality of care issues. Earlier inspections also identified similar concerns, and the facility had been working on corrective actions such as staff education, policy reviews, and monitoring procedures. The deficiencies mainly involved failure to prevent and investigate abuse and misappropriation, as well as ensuring resident safety and skin integrity. A complaint investigation prompted the revisit survey, and it included interviews and record reviews; the facility responded with corrective measures including forensic accounting. There is no mention of fines or enforcement actions in the available reports, and the facility appears to be addressing the issues through ongoing corrective efforts.
