Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall was very nice. It was very down the earth. I liked everything about it. It's just farther away and not really accessible to shopping. I was impressed with it. The building was older, but it had a good, friendly feeling. They had activities. The rooms were nice and the people were nice. I felt like they cared about the people. I met some of the residents. When you walk in it, there's a big rectangular room. It's like an open floor plan. The apartments look out on the center of the facility. You can see people walking upstairs from the second floor. The staff was impressive.

I liked Leigh Hall Assisted Living. Everything was very nice, and I was struck by the fact that as we were touring the facility, the staff was very attentive to the residents. They were very friendly and were talking to them. It wasn’t like they were just going about their business. I didn’t try the food, but I did see the menu because it was posted. I like the fact that they didn’t stick to a particular time. They were very nice size rooms. Their activity room is like an atrium right in the middle. If you lived on the second floor, you could come out of your room and not even have to come downstairs if you didn’t want to. You could sit there and observe.

Leigh Hall had very nice rooms that were really spacious and well laid out. The chef was superb. During the time I went there, I saw that the residents were sleeping all the time. It felt it was like a nursing home more than an assisted living. They actually had a lot of activities, but there weren’t any that would appeal to my mother.

I visited Leigh Hall. It was nice, light, and airy, but some of the places were kind of dark. The rooms with little kitchenettes. The staff had a wonderful attitude and were a cheery bunch. However, I did not see the patients smiling that much. I thought it was lunch time when we were there, so I guess they were kind of hungry. I liked everything about it. It was convenient to where I lived and close to where my daughter lived. They had a library. The whole thing was nice.

Leigh Hall was right in the commercial area. It was a former hotel, so the first floor with the dining room included was very posh. The bedrooms were adequate but not great. The people we talked to were nice and doing a special event for the people that live there. They have a special event at least one every week. The downstairs facilities were very nice, including the dining room, the sitting rooms, and the library.

I visited Leigh Hall for my mother. They were remodeling at that time, and I wasn't really impressed with the place. The staff seemed OK, but I just didn't like it.

After a long year of trying to find the perfect place to move my grandmother, Leigh Hall was recommended twice in a 24 hour period.
I made an appointment, met with Ilene Lipton, and chose Leigh Hall.
Since making that decision, I have been so pleased with everyone and everything. They were very accommodating to my time line. This decision was thrust upon me but Leigh Hall as a whole has been a blessing! They continue to take great care of my grandmother.
I don’t know what I would have done without everyone here!
They have taken the worry out of my day and let me be more concerned with just visiting instead of caretaking.

We just stopped by Leigh Hall Assisted Living one day and a lady took us on a tour. It was nice. My sister really liked it, but it was just too expensive. They have two nurses on staff. They have private rooms and semi-private rooms. They had just remodeled the place. They have a van so if you want to go to church, they can take you to church and back. They can also take you shopping. They have a special time of the day where you can go in the activity room to watch TV, play games, read, etc. You get three meals a day. You can eat in the dining room or you can eat in your room. One thing I like best about this community is that it is close to my sister's church.

Leigh Hall was a nice looking facility. Maybe I just went the wrong time of day when maybe most of the residents were out shopping or doing some activity. And therefore the ones that weren't participating in an activity were just sitting around quietly. So it just looked kind of desolate and depressing. But the lady who gave me the tour, Vera, was extremely nice.
