The Residence at Paine Estate

Be careful!! They are about keeping a room occupied even when a resident no longer belongs there and needs additional care that they cannot provide. An elderly friend was there for respite to get her strength back after a fall. However, she landed in the hospital again with a UTI and was a two person assist (she could not walk - no strength). Traditions required a private aid to assist (8am - 8pm when she was awake). When she would not pay the $30 an hour anymore, the aid left, and Traditions decided they could take care of her. Note, it was someone there who found the expensive aid for her. Funny how one day she needed one and the next day, when the aid wasn't there, she didn't. Assisted livings are not equipped to handle extensive care, they are not staffed for that. I suggested she be moved to a nursing home but the director was adamant she stay though she needed more care and she did not want to move. I could not insist on moving her as I was not family - she had no one. Everything continued to decline. She passed away on Thanksgiving. We also had an issue with her room key missing at the end when she was on hospice, a set of her house keys were taken from her purse, and her diamond engagement ring was also missing. Yes - lots of people in and out the last few weeks as they say. Just things to be aware of and consider. Yes - it is a beautiful setting. Receptionist is wonderful and so warm and welcoming to visitors and residents.

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!

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.
