About Ellen M. Leach Memorial Home
A Legacy of Compassion Since 1926
At Ellen M. Leach Memorial Home, we believe in providing the highest quality apartment rentals to our residents. It was founded through the vision and generosity of Mabel W. Tyrrell, who in 1926 established a trust to honor her mother, Ellen M. Leach. After years of careful planning by trustees John and David Taylor, our community opened its doors in 1996 in partnership with the Brewer Housing Authority.
Today, we continue that legacy of compassion, creating a home where seniors can maintain their independence, build meaningful relationships, and truly enjoy their retirement years.

The Leach Home consists of 90 one and two-bedroom apartment homes within three wings on three floors. You’ll find a relaxing sitting area at every corner or discover a leisure interest in our Library, Activity Room, Fitness Area, Billiard’s Room, Beauty Salon and Community Room. The Leach Home offers three elevators and 12 laundry rooms for your convenience.Today, we continue that legacy of compassion, creating a home where seniors can maintain their independence, build meaningful relationships, and truly enjoy their retirement years.
