"Recruiting is my standard measure for a focus group facility. Essman/Research is quality from top to bottom. The recruiting for every focus group we've conducted with Essman/Research has been the highest caliber - no matter the specs. We want 12 to seat 10, 12 respondents show up. They're intelligent, articulate, and we always learn a lot. From the design and management to recruiting to reports, it's like that every time."

Linda K. Doyle, CEO/Administrator
Northcrest Community, Heartwood House, Northcrest Foundation

"From the very beginning when Northcrest started working with Essman/Companies, there was a sense of genuine interest in learning about Northcrest, not just as another client but as a partner. We developed a synergy that contributed to the success of expectation surveys to keep us in touch with staff, as well as the desires of current and future residents. I am always comfortable asking questions and have never felt that I was intruding on their creativity. I feel truly fortunate to have Essman/Research on the Northcrest team."
