Despite how difficult this journey has been with our mom and dad as their memory has declined, they are comfortable at Carriage House@ Lee's Farm. They have acclimated to Avita and love the staff, activities and the setting in beautiful Wayland is lovely and serene. Lots of outdoor space to sit and visit with family and friends which has always been important to mom and dad. Thank you !

staff are incredibly rude and untrained. they shout insults at my mother when they think no one is watching. they visibly mock and ridicule patients in front of their faces. nursing assistants are NOT approachable - very rude, look miserable and clearly do NOT want to be there / do their jobs.

My mother lived at Avita for 5 years before passing in 2022. She had lived at a another assisted living facility that had moved her to the memory care unit and it was a terrible transition. My brothers and I made the decision to move Mom to Avita,. This was the best decision we made for Mom's care. The transition from her other memory care to Avita was seemless. Mom's adjustment was smooth, as the loving caretakers made her feel welcome. The neighborhood set up at Avita makes it easier to make friends, and then come together for larger entertainment. And entertainment was incredible. I have videos of my mom dancing at many events, and I look at these now with such fondness. The staff and caretakers at Avita really care about your loved ones, but also about you as their family. I highly recommend Avita.

To say that she loves this home is an understatement. We appreciate everything that the staff does to maintain a beautiful environment for all residents. This is not the "nursing home" of your past experiences. This is a beautifully designed space meant to make you and your resident feel at home. The set up into 4 neighborhoods is brilliant. If you are on the fence, take a visit, learn the culture, see the hearts of the people working here.<br>The staff is great and the people are so kind. A stand out is Jazz, she is the coordinator of activities and the warmest heart and person you could ever meet! Our resident is very, very, very, happy here and we never thought she would leave her home after 94 years.
