I wasn't excited about the space at Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall. To me, it was a little different than what I had seen. The rooms were reasonably priced, but you need to work with your furniture. I like the layout of the building. They had this lovely inner courtyard that was very attractive, especially if you are upstairs, so that when you walk out and go to the balcony area, you could look out and don't feel so closed in. They also offered Alzheimer's/dementia care. They have a different adjoining wing, and it had a lovely separation/security area. From what I could gather, they were well taken care of. So if you need one service, you go to one part of the building, and if you need a different type of service, you go to the other part of the building. The staff was a very nice; she was a very detailed young lady. Once she gave me the particulars, she gave me an open window to look around on my own a little bit. They invited me to have lunch in the dining room, and the staff hooked me up with one of the other residents. We had a lovely lunch, and it was a very pleasant visit, too. There was a resident musician; they also had dances and fitness classes. They were very innovative, and they kept the residents busy, too.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall seems fine, it's clean and had nice people. The staff who assisted me during the visit was very helpful and knowledgeable. I saw residents doing an activity in the common area, it was some sort of a meeting. They had a theater room and a place to congregate, but no pools or beauty shop.

Sunrise of Norwood was very nice and looked very established. The person during the tour was excellent and very knowledgeable. Everybody was enjoying their dinner in the dining room. The food looked very interesting, and the dining area looked very nice and very accommodating. The room was a good size and on the first floor. The facility was homey looking.

My tour at Benchmark Senior Living at Forge Hill was excellent and very knowledgeable. I got a full tour about what the building offers. I saw the dining room, the description of the different-sized rooms and what they had available. It had an elevator, a very nice lobby, receptionist, and two different wings, and the dining is at the center with nice windows. The person who assisted me during the tour was so excellent, very helpful, and gave me tips. It was a very nice-looking building that looked like it had a great cafeteria. They had a full calendar of activities and stuff to do. It looked like they take care of people really nicely. It was a newer community.

Brookdale Quincy Bay is friendly and inviting. The staff is great and the residents seemed to be happy. If you were living there, you'd feel comfortable. The apartment I saw was one of the smaller ones and I liked the fact that it was kind of scenic, so the person would be able to catch a glimpse of the bay. As far as the inside of the studio, everything was convenient. The way it was set up, the person residing there would have an opportunity to decide whether they want to make it more of a sleeping area or have a very defined living or sleeping area. They were doing some work on the grounds and the building, and there was a lot of parking.
