Set in generous, tranquil landscaped grounds in the heart of Sydney’s leafy north, Leisure Lea Gardens is a peaceful, friendly haven with all the city advantages, which offers both independent and supported living, plus Living Choice Home Care services, on-site carers and 24-hour emergency response.
Leisure Lea Gardens' expansive surrounds means there's plenty of room for visits from family and friends, and there's a multitude of recreational possibilities on offer. Fire up the barbecue, play a round of indoor bowls, take a stroll along the walking paths, potter about in the hobbies and craft rooms, expand your mind in the library or enjoy happy hour in the bar. A doctor and podiatrist consult on-site regularly and there’s a hairdressing salon, which is well-used.
One much appreciated feature of Leisure Lea Gardens is that there's a kitchen on-site serving three tasty home-cooked meals every day in the fully staffed common dining room, which welcomes residents and guests alike. There is also a raised vegetable garden.
Each modern unit is designed within a private landscaped setting to afford you maximum independence and minimum maintenance. Choose from one or two bedroom self-contained units and fully serviced apartments, with undercover parking should you need it. Macquarie Shopping Centre is only a short bus trip away along Epping Road, where buses run seven days a week. Best of all, these buses stop right outside Leisure Lea's door making it very easy for residents to enjoy all the social, recreational, sporting and shopping activities on offer in Sydney.
