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.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall was OK, and the staff seemed nice. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was depressing. It just seemed like the people that live there were not happy. The staff members I met during my tour were good and has supposedly been working there for a long time. I saw the atrium, and it seems to be on the small side. It was a studio and it was just a small room with a bed and not a lot of space for a lot of furniture. The dining area looked nice too.

The Talbot on Granby's apartments were fine, a little small, but they're OK. They staff was really nice. They have an exercise room. It was mostly new.
