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.
We toured with Traditions of Wayland and liked what we saw. They had just been bought out so they were in the middle of changing/re-doing everything. The sales person who we dealt with was great. We just felt another facility we were looking at was going to be a better fit.
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 couldn’t 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.

Reflections at Traditions is an excellent memory care facility-the staff does whatever is needed to make their residents happy and safe
Thanks to Tatiana and her team
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 mom’s 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 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 Alzheimer’s. 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 everyone’s 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 mother’s 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 mother’s 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.
