I have had the pleasure of entertaining the residents at the Residence at Paine Estate for a number of years. The residents are an absolute delight to play for and the staff is always very friendly. The community was recently renovated and looks wonderful. From following them on their Facebook page, I can see that the residents have vibrant and many engaging activities, entertainers, and trips. I would recommend this community to anyone looking to live there and is looking for a senior living community for their loved one!

My 95 year old mother moved into this facility back in September and couldn't be more pleased with the community at the Paine Estate. The mansion was recently acquired by LCB living and has undergone a complete refurbishment and cosmetic makeover which makes it a very attractive and well run place to live. The staff are also top notch and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate the needs of residents and their families. I would recommend it highly.

I am a jazz musician (Alto & Soprano Saxes & Clarinet) and feel so privileged to be a regular musician at this timeless and beautiful home where I have been playing for the last 8 + years: I feel truly honored and count it a privilege every time I am invited back by Iva and Rachel to play for the dear folks who reside there: it's such a joy and a great reward seeing these precious souls singing along and clapping hands to their favorite songs from the Great American Song Book, the Standards made famous by Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, the Gershwins, Cole Porter and so many more: their eyes light up, their hearts are lifted and I truly appreciate the staff at Paine Estates for caring so deeply for the residents that they go out of their way to ensure even the little things that matter, are maximized to bring them happiness, security and a sense of well-being: it never ceases to amaze me just how much everyone at The Residence at Paine Estates, greets you with a warm and friendly smile: all are polite, courteous, friendly, professional and nothing is too much trouble: the newly designed decor and innovate styles used in the home has added to the existing warmth and ambience created in every room and it speaks of elegance, class and is most exquisite: there is a level of excellence rarely found these days and yet it can be seen and felt throughout the Residence at Paine Estates thanks to the compassionately motivated and caring staff: there is a 'feel good' factor, a 'good feeling' when one walks through those doors and it's there because everyone genuinely cares. Thank you, to all at The Residence at Paine Estates for bringing much love and joy to all.

I've been performing at Residence Paine Estate for over 3 years. This is a very unique home and recently beautified with renovations. It feels like a large mansion with a lovely lobby leading to a brightly lit dining area and outdoor patio. The music room is intimate and the sound is enhanced due to an antique Mason & Hamlin--one of my favorite pianos out of over 150 I play at various homes throughout Massachusetts. Residents and staff are welcoming and kind. It's clear they enjoy living and working here as do I!

My mother recently passed away at Paine Estate in a room that shortly thereafter was deemed uninhabitable by the local Board of Health. Then, six days AFTER she passed away Paine Estate had the audacity to withdraw more than $7000 from her bank account without authorization. The Acting Executive Director justified raiding the account by saying that they were entitled to collect rent, fees, and expenses for a month after each Resident's death (in effect, it appears, they levy their own death tax)! I am not sure how it's possible to charge a dead person for a room, meals, services, etc. that they obviously cannot utilize. It's too late for us, but please take such conditions and behavior into account when you are considering where your loved ones should live.

In Fall, 2022, and after investigating other facilities we moved my 99 year old Mom from NY to the Memory Care unit at Paine Estate in Wayland. Since the new management by LCB, we could not be more pleased with the care that she gets. The staff, led by Iva and Susan and Charlene is incredible - creative, loving, smart, experienced and responsive. They consider the small group that they care for a family and respect the unique individuality of each resident. The food is excellent and something to look forward to. Field trips respect the ability of each member. there are excellent connections to medical care and when needed, hospice care. the facility is clean, beautiful and connected to a lovely garden. Activities - concerts, art, sing alongs are popular but optional, too.

Jeff Leupold for my father, Mat Leupold I have been here at Traditions a little over two years having moved here in Jan. 2019. Born in 1924 in Jamaica NY, I have lived in Mass. all my adult life, in Wayland since 1955. A minor flooding incident in my house led to the decision to change my living situation. I had long considered Traditions as my next home. I knew the Paine Estate history. I had known former residents here, and I was conscious of the demographic, i.e. residents from similar towns. With my sons Jeff and Chris we made an appointment and visited Traditions in Nov. of 2018. I chose one of the available rooms we were shown. I was qualified for independent living status, i.e. I could take my pills by myself. My move here in Jan. 2019 went smoothly at both ends. I have a room with a kitchenette, a bedroom, a bathroom, and 3 closets. I am comfortably surrounded by things from my home. I was by myself for nearly 10 years with my late wife Lillian in a nursing home with dementia and ultimately deceased 6 years ago. Independent means I take my pills by myself, but seriously, if or when I do need assistance it will be provided to me in my apartment. Pre pandemic life was comfortable. I felt welcome by fellow residents and by staff. All were friendly, and there were activities here and away. The food was good - the day of the week couldnt be determined by what was on the menu. Although I had been able to manage my life and house, I liked the relief from nuisance home owning responsibilities. Pandemic life here was well organized. The feeling was that we and the staff were in this together. It was a comfort to feel that we were being well cared for. Mask discipline was maintained with a sensitivity for feelings. Regular Covid testing results brought reassurance. - Mat

My father David has called Traditions his home for over a decade now. We, as his family feel extremely grateful for all the care and attention he receives on a daily basis from the amazing staff. As a non-verbal, wheel-chair bound resident David presents challenges to those trying to understanding his needs and address his concerns. However the staff at Traditions are patient and diligent and the communication of these concerns with resident care, nursing and the front desk is exceptional. They were also extraordinary through COVID times, continually adjusting in order to protect the community and communicate with families. All in a warm setting with a great dining and social events. Would highly recommend to anyone considering Traditions for their loved one.

My mother moved into the assisted living area of Traditions several years ago. The entire staff was warm, friendly and courteous as were the residents. The activities director engaged the residents in interesting projects and monthly outings to a variety of places. On occasion, musicians came in to play for and serenade the residents, which they thoroughly enjoyed. During holidays and birthdays, families were invited to join their loved ones for a delicious luncheon or dinner. My mother transitioned to memory care at Traditions after one year. The area houses 12 residents and is a more intimate space, which is ideal for people, who have dementia or Alzheimers. Due to the supportive staff my mother acclimated to her new home within days. The residents are kept busy during the day with various activities. Before COVID, families were invited to themed events that included entertainment and food. My mother enjoyed both. The memory care director is very hands on and is devoted to each resident. She is in regular contact with family members, which has given us the opportunity to become well acquainted. She goes above and beyond to make sure everyones needs are met and everything runs efficiently. The aides are very kind and competent, who take excellent care of my mother. Throughout the pandemic, families receive regular updates about the Traditions community, which are appreciated. If you are looking for a nurturing, lovely environment where your loved ones will be well cared for, Traditions of Wayland will meet your expectations.

For the past 3 1-2 years, Traditions has been a welcoming home for my mother. They made her transition to independent living easy and enjoyable. Although she participates in fewer activities now and is receiving more support services from Tradition, it continues to be a safe and comfortable home where she has made some strong friendships. The staff has been great during the past year, in spite of the pressure the COVID-19 pandemic placed on them and on the residents. Thank you Traditions of Wayland!

We moved my 98 year old mother into Traditions of Wayland in February, 2021. The move went very smoothly. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, making sure that my mom was happy and had everything that she needed. We felt safe moving her there during the pandemic, as they are extremely conscientious about following all the proper safety precautions. My siblings and I are so glad that we made the decision to move our mom to Traditions. Were very satisfied with the level of care that she receives there, as well as the frequent communication we enjoy with her caretakers. The staff makes it a priority to keep the residents engaged, busy and interested, with their excellent programming and activities. They go above and beyond in their concern for the residents, and treat them with warmth, respect and dignity. I feel confident that my mother is in a safe, wonderful community, where she is happy and will receive the very best of attention.

My sister moved in to Traditions two years ago. We all loved the feeling and atmosphere of the beautiful old home. And she LOVES her room with the huge windows overlooking the back yard and the beautiful sunsets. I get to watch many of them with her on FaceTime. She is a walker and the path that goes to the river behind the home is her favorite place to walk. The staff has been wonderful and very helpful and does an amazing job of keeping Traditions Covid free. Antonio, the chef, has been especially attentive to her special dietary needs. She loves the art classes, the movies and the exercise classes. And the staff also plans great seasonal activities as well. I love to visit and look forward to coming again when it is safer to travel.

My mother has been a resident of Traditions of Wayland since 2015. She is now in the Reflections memory care unit. The staff is top notch and has taken such good care of her during this difficult pandemic year. The Reflections director is wonderful about keeping us updated on my moms activities by sending photos and emails, and patiently assisting my mom with frequent face-time calls to us. The staff is responsive and makes sure my mom has friends and engaging experiences, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. It is such a relief to know my mom is valued and well cared-for.

My mom has been at Traditions of Wayland for just over a year in an apartment in the assisted living section. The setting is idyllic, located in a renovated mansion overlooking conservation land on the Sudbury River. The staff is friendly and professional; they go out of their way to be helpful and treat the residents as family. The food is served by waitstaff in a homey and bright dining room with linen tablecloths. There are multiple daily activities including some trips outside the grounds. A lot of positive things have happened over the past year, including renovations (painting, new carpeting) and new hires. Having my mom there has provided me with peace of mind as I know she is in great hands. Overall, I am very happy with the place. If you or a friend-family member are thinking of moving to assisted living, I recommend you check Traditions out!

Almost 15 months have passed since I wrote a very positive commentary of my mothers experience at Traditions of Wayland. If it is possible to improve upon excellent, then I would have to again strongly endorse the staff and facility. From the friendly, warm greeting by the staff at the front desk to the very special attentive, knowledgeable, caring and helpful nursing staff, the delivery of world class service is steadfast. The Executive Director, the Activities Director, the Head of Finance, the Head of Food Service, the Head of Maintenance and the Head of Housekeeping are personable and will take the time to listen to and to resolve any concerns promptly. There are regular meetings with the residents to update them on what seem to be continuous upgrades and upkeep to this beautiful facility as well as to ask if the activities are satisfactory and what additional activities would be desirable. It is also an opportunity for the residents to provide their insights on the enhancements to the facility and to make suggestions for the future. As the primary person responsible for my mothers care, I am at the facility a number of times a week. I am always impressed by the cleanliness, the creative activity schedule and the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. This facility is especially fortunate to have a gifted Activities Director with an outstanding, professional singing voice who provides occasional concerts which are immensely popular with the residents. Music is an important part of his program and he sings with his heart. There are also fairly frequent performances including piano concerts, choirs and singing groups. There are wonderful outings to museums, restaurants etc. They have a number of events at the facility that include the families of the residents, especially around holidays. They have frequent barbecues on the beautiful patio. The Head of Food Service is savvy about the dietary needs of the elderly and is seen regularly in the dining room asking if the meals are satisfying. I find the residents to be happy, welcoming and engaging whenever I visit. My mother is healthy, happy and loves living there. That is a strong testament to the quality lifestyle that is provided at Traditions of Wayland.

There were plenty of options to choose from as far as the variety of residential options for me and my wife, Maureen. My wife required a little extra care as she struggled with memory loss, but Traditions of Wayland made it possible for both of us to be here together even with our varying care levels.The community welcomed me with a warm, inviting, cozy feeling that I needed in order to make this move. I really feel at home here. I have the independence to make my own schedule while having the options to attend various activities and lectures. I really have made some great friends here like Jim, and together we enjoy our weekly poker tournaments and competitive Jeopardy games that happen in the Great Room.I appreciate all the help the staff has given me and my wife especially. They always go above and beyond for everyone here, and the food is terrific! Paige, the receptionist, is first-class and is willing to help any resident with concern. Libby, Jason, Jenn and the rest of the management team here has really made Traditions a great place.
