Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall

My uncle is now in Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall. It's been great. When you get in the facility, everybody's just really friendly, which I appreciate, because nowadays it's so hard to have somebody say "hi" or "hello" or even smile at you for that matter. Everybody is just smiling, and they all acknowledge the guests when they come in. My uncle is on the second floor, so I actually hang out by the rail and look around, and I do see that they all just wave at you. If somebody comes in, they all wave at the person. They know each patient by name, which is highly appreciated. I like that fact that they know their patients. They take time to talk to them. It's clean. I have not really seen anything that I would say that they do not keep their facility clean. It's clean. It's not far from the hospital. It's been great, and my uncle feels safe there. The staff members are really great. They call the patients by their first name. They're really kind. They take time to talk to the patients, and they make sure they're comfortable, too. If they're outside and somebody starts yelling help, they'll just barge in and help that person, which is good. I think the food is good, but my uncle who is not easily pleased with what he eats, so he tends to pick on it sometimes. I guess my uncle is just too picky when it comes to food. He has always been like that, so it doesn't really make us wonder why he started saying things like, "I don't like the food here," because we already know that he is just the pickiest person in the world. But I've tasted some of the food, and I feel like it's good. My uncle did not sign up for any activities; he is unable to do so. But I saw some of the residents, they have this church choir that goes in there, and then they listen to them perform. They have game days wherein they go down and then they play dominoes. It's fun to see them like they're dogging each other out. I saw a group of them were listening to Audible. They have a book club, and they listen to Audible. They have that monthly thing where they go in there and they just vent out what they want or what they want to change. It's not an open forum, but it's sort of like something to make the facility better. So those were the ones I've seen so far. The program director there makes it a point to where he can have everybody participate. He would make my uncle participate if he could, but he just can't.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall was very nice. They went out of their way. Their chef came out and talked to me as far as how they do a farm-to-table kind of meal plan with the seniors. He took a lot of time to explain that to me, so I was very impressed. It was an old renovated hotel. It still needs some updating, but it was very nice. They had apartments on the second and third floor. It was in a busier section of town, but it was close to Janaf Shopping Center and Military Circle Mall area. It was close to stores and things like that.

I loved Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall and this was where my sister was supposed to go. I looked at their respite in assisted living. Their rooms were beautiful and the staff was very nice, all of them, and they're caring. The place was clean, it was amazing. I would go there. It used to be a hotel, it has this gorgeous lobby three-stories high with glass ceilings that's like a dome, so there's beautiful natural light coming in. There's a grand piano, the rooms have floor to ceiling windows. It's just gorgeous.

1st problem is you don't a straight answer to anything. Promises are made and not followed through. I was talked to terrible and left crying. Nothing about this place is good to me. I was asked to do a review, and they stopped it from being posted. Would not recommend this place.

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.
