Personalized Care
At Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall, personalized care is the hallmark of our community. With our experience, we know that no two residents will have the same exact needs. A “one-size-fits-all” approach to care is not in anybody’s best interest.
We provide a personalized care plan for each resident we have the privilege of serving. We start by meeting with the resident, the family members and personal physician. Through careful assessment, we determine the resident’s specific needs, but also identify his or her retained abilities and preferences. With all of that essential information, we carefully develop a detailed and personalized care plan that provides the support that is needed and also promotes independence.

If a loved one is living with Alzheimer’s or other form of dementia, we invite you to learn about Sweet MemoriesTM, the award-winning memory care program offered at Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall.
Sweet Memories™ not only enhances the lives of the residents we have the privilege of caring for, but it also provides their families with much deserved peace of mind.
The core of our program is our dedicated caregiving team. Certified in Virtual Dementia Tour® training, these very special people have a thorough understanding of the challenges presented by Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. This unique perspective enables them to offer exceptional care.
Sweet MemoriesTM
Sweet Memories™ provides the most exceptional memory care and supportive lifestyle available in the area.
From cozy, comfortable memory care neighborhoods that feel like home and innovative programming only found in Commonwealth Senior Living communities to our experienced management team, every aspect of our program has been carefully designed to provide the very best memory care experience possible.
Respecting that each person in our program has specific needs and abilities, Sweet Memories™ takes an individualized approach to care. By developing a personalized care plan, we can provide the most appropriate support, care, guidance and understanding.
Program Components
Sweet MemoriesTM consists of three components to ensure the best possible experience for our residents and their families.
Move-in: From physical to emotional needs, we guide our residents through every step of the transition to our community, whether from home or hospital.
Evaluation through life history: We learn each resident’s life story. We conduct a comprehensive interview with family members. We talk. We ask questions. We listen. We get to know our residents as people. We learn about their medical, mental, emotional, spiritual and intellectual needs, as well as their habits and preferences.
Resident-centered care plan: With this very personal knowledge, our leadership team creates a customized care plan to meet the specific needs of the resident.
Signature Programs • Signature Experience
Unique. Effective. Innovative. Forward-thinking. Our signature Sweet MemoriesTM programs make a tremendous difference in the lives of our residents and their families.
One Sweet Memory: Winner of the Best Practice Award from the Virginia Assisted Living Association (VALA), for going above and beyond the standards of care. Our team members regularly capture highlights of each resident’s day in photographs that are shared regularly with family members.
Expressions: When verbal skills begin to fail, art can become a means of self-expression for residents. Conversational prompting stimulates memories which residents can interpret using a variety of mediums, including painting.
Special Touch: Designed specifically for those with late-stage memory loss, this program provides “special touches” that make a difference in care. In the morning, before breakfast, residents enjoy citrus scented towels to awaken taste buds; before dinner, lavender scented towels help to relax, reinforce the natural circadian rhythm and encourage residents to enjoy their meals.
Sweet Melodies: For those with late-stage dementia who have lost verbal skills, Sweet Melodies stirs memories by using nostalgic music selected by family members.
SMILE™ Technology: Through SMILE™, we can remain connected to your loved one every day. This computer program enables us to keep you updated on your loved one’s participation in and enjoyment of our programming, sharing photos and stories with you on a daily basis.
Memory Care Life Stations: Thoughtful spaces invite your loved one to reconnect and engage with past hobbies, professions and passions.
