About Leigh Place

Leigh place is a not-for-profit charity that provides outstanding aged care support. We understand how important it is not only to find the right level of care, but to find the right environment in which that care is provided.

OUR MISSION

Leigh Place is committed to pursuing excellence in the provision of service.

OUR VISION

To be a leader in innovative, quality aged-care services that maximise each resident’s
opportunity to live as independently as possible.

OUR VALUES

The nurturing of our residents is guided by the key pillars of CARE, COMPASSION, COMMUNITY and CHOICE.

CARE

We provide quality aged-care services in a home-like environment. We acknowledge that our staff are our best asset, and their skills and commitment drive our purpose and vision.

COMPASSION

We provide a compassionate and sympathetic approach that is reflected in our open,
responsive communications with our residents.

COMMUNITY

We welcome and value the involvement of residents, family and staff in all aspects of life at Leigh Place.
Wider community and volunteer involvement is encouraged.

CHOICE

We actively promote consumer-directed care, and the equality, choice and life opportunities of each resident.


Our History

Leigh Place originally opened in 1989 as a joint venture between Canterbury City Council and the NSW Department of Housing. The aim was to provide high-quality, affordable accommodation and aged care, nurturing strong links with the local community – for our residents, staff and volunteers.

We are governed by a Board of independent directors with many years of combined experience in health, aged care and business. Meet our executive team here.
