Leigh Place began in 1989 as a not‑for‑profit partnership between the NSW government and the local Council. From the outset, our mission has been clear: to provide high‑quality aged care while fostering deep community ties. Today, we are proudly governed by a skilled independent Board that keeps residents and their needs at the heart of every decision.
Person‑Centred Care at Our Core
At Leigh Place, our guiding philosophy revolves around CARE, COMPASSION, COMMUNITY and CHOICE. We deliver tailored care plans that reflect each resident’s unique life story, culture, preferences, and clinical needs. From enriching lifestyle activities to dedicated dementia care and palliative services, our approach is both holistic and deeply respectful.
Innovative, Home‑Like Living
Leigh Place was founded on the “small household” principle, blending premium amenities with accessibility and dementia‑sensitive design. Tucked away on a leafy cul‑de‑sac near Bennett Park, Leigh Place feels more like a vibrant village than a care facility. With communal dining rooms, tranquil outdoor spaces, regular events, and coordinated allied‑health services, we ensure that residents and their families feel actively involved and valued.
Embracing Reform & Staff Empowerment
In response to the Aged Care Act 2024 and upcoming Strengthened Standards, Leigh Place is front‑and‑centre in adopting best practice frameworks. We continue to invest heavily in:
- Ongoing staff training and professional development.
- Diversity, equity and cultural safety initiatives for both residents and staff.
- Robust care-minute tracking and clinical governance aligned with national benchmarks.
