Questionable practices
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 $[removed] 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.

We are very sorry for the loss of your mother. It is true that all leases signed by residents or loved ones include the fact that a one-month notice is required, including in the unfortunate circumstances of a passing. As with most apartment rental agreements, this is to give us time to affect any repairs or upgrades necessary to make the apartment available for renting. It also gives our families time to grieve in the immediate days after the loss, and retrieve a loved one's belongings at an easier pace. We regret that you were unaware of this policy. In the case of your mother's apartment, there was superficial mold found resulting from belongings placed adjacent an air conditioning vent. Of course, no mold is acceptable to us or the Board of Health (and rightly so), and it was wiped away and sanitized immediately. We would be happy to speak with you further about either of these issues. Again, our condolences

Very disappointed. We found mold throughout my mother-in-law's room as we were cleaning it out after she passed. There was a leak months before. They did not even inform us of the leak. We visited a few days later, noticed the odor and the carpet was still very wet. Clearly the water that ran down the walls and soaked the carpet was not cleaned up properly. We could not salvage any of her belongings.

First, our deepest condolences on the passing of your mother-in-law. Our investigations in August showed no evidence of a water leak in the building. There were however personal belongings obstructing the air conditioner vents (where early-stage, superficial mold was discovered), which could have resulted in condensation and the beginnings of mold. That situation was immediately remediated prior to Labor Day. We take such matters very seriously, and immediately conducted an investigation of the entire building, during which no evidence of a leak or additional mold was found. We regret that you have been unable to return our phone calls, but we remain willing to discuss this matter with you at your convenience. Again, we are very sorry for your loss.

Excellent place for your loved ones to call their new home!!!
My loved one is currently a resident at The Residence at Paine Estate. I would highly recommend this place. From the information we received when touring the facility with us not being rushed and having all of our questions answered in a friendly, patient, and professional way to the onboarding process when we chose to move there. The food and choices given to the residents is varied and delicious. Communication with the family is very open. They try to keep the residents actively engaged in all of the offered activities as well. All of the staff are friendly and very kind to the residents. Everyone seems to be very happy there.

A relatives delight
We have been very happy with Traditions of Wayland. I live far away, but from everything I have heard it has been great. They were very helpful and accomdoating during the whole move in process and continue to be so. One thing I found out this week is that they have a physician on site once a week and he can come in and do lab work in your loved ones room, that way you do not have to take them out to the doctors office. This has been a God send to us. I would highly recommend Traditions without a doubt.

For What You Pay, You Get Very Little (Some of it is Covid, some of it is not)
Don't come here. It's too small. Breakfast is good, but dinner is terrible. There are almost zero activities going on right now, and I understand why due to Covid. It's a small population, and most people don't participate or interact. I think they're overpriced. As I understand they're at the top end of the market for the cost. Apart from that, everything is fine. It's a nice building, pleasant architecture, and the grounds are quite pleasant. The service is average, and I understand a lot of this is Covid driven. Not all of it, but some of it.

Traditions of Wayland Cares
I have lived at Traditions of Wayland for about 10 months, and it couldn't be better. I visited other places at first, but they were overwhelming. It’s so friendly at Traditions and you get to know so many people. I think my favorite part of living here are the activities, they are very well done. I love going to all of the events they host here?they are superb, very informative. The care staff here are well educated and simply wonderful. They are willing to deal with everyone and all of our different care needs. The entire staff takes the time to get to know who you are and they have really become my friends. Also, the food is excellent and the dining staff really work hard to make you happy and to be helpful no matter what. I really have to say the staff here is great and they care so much.

Grateful for Traditions of Wayland
My dad was determined and prepared to remain in his Wayland home. He moved to Traditions of Wayland in December for a two month “respite”, not long after a bad fall and several broken bones required hospitalizations and weeks in rehab. When the Traditions Resident Care Director, came to his discharge planning meeting I knew he would be in good hands. [name removed]’s intelligence, compassion, expertise and kind sense of humor inspired trust and optimism. Her resident care staff are especially cheerful, responsive, respectful, skilled and kind. I look forward to seeing them whenever I visit. About halfway through his “temporary” stay at Traditions, my dad decided to become a longer term resident and now lives in a nice apartment furnished with his favorite belongings. He has developed friendships and relationships that are meaningful and bring a new kind of purpose to his days. I am continually impressed by the quality of care and assistance he receives. The staff is responsive, communicative, cheerful, thoughtful and dedicated. From welcoming and informative greeters at the front desk, to the kitchen staff and activity planners, administrators and maintenance staff, everyone is dedicated to providing a pleasant and meaningful experience for the residents. I am grateful and proud to feel part of the Traditions of Wayland community.

Thank you, Mary! I am excited to pass along your story to our team and we are thrilled to have your Dad as part of our Traditions family. Many families we have worked with have found that a short-term stay at Traditions, whether for a recovery period or for caregiver respite, turns into a long-term living arrangement. They thrive with their new found security, friendships and sense of purpose, just as your Dad experienced. Hearing how your Dad is enjoying his time with us is truly rewarding! Thank you, again, for helping him to find a home here. -- Libby Mattei, Executive Director

Traditions is on the Up & UP
Traditions of Wayland encompasses a serene life and intimate atmosphere within a gracious, historical estate. The various lounges are clustered in close proximity which enables crossing paths throughout the day and making residents feel "at home" with one another. The sunny patio and pretty gardens are welcoming nods to a breath of fresh air and seasonal "parties." The Resident Care Director is selective in admitting residents who will fit in well. Once admitted, every effort is made to enable residents to remain in their units without being displaced to another facility. As time passes, if additional personal attention is needed on a daily basis, it can be provided. At least the promise to keep one's place at Traditions is given from the start. The residential care team reviews individual care plans on a routine basis, and necessary adjustments can be agreed upon. I give the aides tremendous praise for their kindness above all. This is what residents appreciate the most! Patience, promptness, and respect are the standards provided by the aides. No matter what the request may be, cheerful attention is given. A variety of entertainment and activities keeps residents on the lookout to participate out of personal, individual interest. Very popular with residents are the recitals given by local adults and youths, and this is a great venue for the performers as well. Occasionally there are special dinners with an interesting theme where guests are invited to attend gratis -- very popular with residents, family members, and guests. Traditions' staff assist and interact which makes for a good party. Best of all, these times allow family members to relate to one another and feel validated for all that is required of us at our end. We also enjoy feeling appreciated for the encouragement we're constantly giving at every visit. Traditions has been in transition for the past year whereby some qualified personnel have been replaced, and that's been unsettling. The new Executive Director is very approachable and is taking a devoted, personal interest in the residents and their families. Such personable, executive functioning trickles down to staff and residents, but also to us, the family members. It's a good thing we can all feel "at home" in this special place.

Traditions of Wayland - Senior Living at its Best
I moved my parents into Traditions of Wayland this year. The facility is located in a country setting in what was formerly a mansion. The beautiful exposed brick in some of the hallways, the warm mahogany paneled library and the bright and attractive dining room and adjoining patio create an atmosphere of home that is unparalleled. I chose this facility after interviewing and visiting other facilities. Traditions of Wayland offers independent living, assisted living and memory care. From the minute that I walked in the door at Traditions, I knew it was the right place for my parents. The staff was kind, warm and caring. I was impressed as I watched how the residents were treated. I was even more impressed when I asked the residents if they were happy at Traditions and they went out of their way to reassure me and my parents that they would be very happy there. My parent's apartment was welcoming and roomy with views of the patio and countryside. The apartments are kept very clean, the food is exceptional and the waitstaff is accommodating. They have excellent exercise and activities programs. When my dad's health began to go downhill, the staff made allowances to make sure that he felt welcome, that he was given world class service and that he could stay with my mother through it all. When he died after only a month at Traditions, the kindness and caring extended to my mother was not to be believed. The staff went out of their way to engage her in activities and to make sure that she met others who had experienced the same loss and could offer support. My mother looks relaxed and happy and feels better than she has in a long time. What could be a better testament to Traditions of Wayland.

Traditions of Wayland used to be a great place to live for my Mother. She has lived there for several years. The Staff and Management used to be really great. Now the staff is very unpleasant and never smile. Things have changed drastically in the past month. The new staff are not experienced. The home my mother used to enjoy, she nolonger enjoys. The place is messy and unorganized. All the new changes in staff past few months have not been great. The food is bland and does not taste well anymore. The Activities Director that my mom loved quit recently. The dining department just recently lost two of the best people who made the overall dining service pleasurable for my mom and the other residents. The dining service has been awful lately and the dining staff have been unpleasant. The housekeeping staff used to be great and now noone keeps areas clean anymore. Considering moving my mother to a different location if things do not improve.

In my numerous recent community-wide family meetings and individual conversations, residents and family members have provided nearly unanimous positive reviews of current community life at Traditions of Wayland. Understandably, some individual residents and family members find it difficult when some staff members move on either to pursue other opportunities or for other reasons. We assumed management of the community several months ago, and with the encouragement and support of many long-tenured, highly valued professional managers and staff at Traditions, we have been working to: improve the quality of resident services, heighten the professional standards of staff, provide increased staff training and professional development opportunities; and provide vastly increased communication to residents and families. However, as the saying goes, you can’t please everyone, and some longtime staff have moved on. Overall the changes have gone quite well and our newer team members are qualified, caring professionals. Our new Executive Director, Libby Matei is an experienced assisted living professional who brings both enthusiasm and diligence to the community. Traditions continues to enjoy the services of our tremendous long-term Resident Care Director and staff of nurses and caregivers; Social and EnrichedLIFE programming in our traditional assisted living and memory care neighborhood is now expanding to seven days per week; we have hired an experienced assisted living EnrichedLIFE Director who is excited to get to know the residents, and bring new ideas into our robust programming, entertainment, and lifelong learning pursuits. Our Executive Chef is already improving the quality and delivery dining services. We know as experienced assisted living owners and managers that every single change that has occurred has been in the residents’ best interest and has been a change for the better. To longtime residents and family members we can only ask for a bit of patience and to give the newer folks a few weeks to settle in and get to know you better. In the meantime I am available to residents and family members at any time, so please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to me at any time so that I can address any individual concerns. - Robert Larkin, President, Senior Living Residences

Used to Be First Class - Has Gone Down Hill
We chose this for my mother because the food and attention to detail were fabulous. In the last eight months it has gone way down hill. The food has been very uneven, sometimes not fully cooked, the portions even smaller than usual. The entire house keeping staff quit recently, and they lost the activities director who apparently was going to be let go. The place has been bought by a holding company that owns several similar places. They no doubt know that once a parent is settled, children are reluctant to move a parent, even if the residence declines, due to the disruption.

They were not expecting me when I showed up. I found the place to be dirty, the staff to not be knowledgable, and the rooms to be dingy. Not for me.

Response from The Residence at Paine Estate
May 14, 2018
Thank you for taking the time to review Traditions of Wayland. I’d like to first apologize for the less-than-stellar experience you had with us. Our community should be visitor-ready at all times and so your unexpected visit should not have impacted our community’s appearance nor how our associates were able to serve you on your tour. While it is no excuse, in February when you visited, our community was just finalizing a major transition in operations. Since the beginning of this year we have made extensive changes to our building both in the way it looks and in the way our staff is trained. We are proud to say that in the months since February, each of our associates have gone through a robust training program to better equip each team member for working with both residents and family members. I would like to personally invite you to come back in for a tour to see how we’ve improved the experience for both resident and visitors alike. Please call me directly to set this up. I look forward to speaking with you -- Libby Mattei, Executive Director

Fantastic Place!!
My mother has recently made the move into this community and so far things have been going well for her. I could have not picked a better team of staff to care for her especially the physical therapy department. They have really worked closely with her and she is making improvements everyday. The food the chef prepares has been amazing and she has really been enjoying the dinning experience with the other residents. This had been the perfect place for my mother and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored The Residence at Paine Estate 7.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
