"The Leland Home was the residence of my mother for over 7 years. During that time she was well cared for by the excellent staff and respected as an individual. There is an equality that operates at Leland. My mother's and my wishes were always considered in light of the policies of the Leland Home and the rights and desires of other residents. I felt free to visit often, at whatever time I had available, and was always greeted courteously by the staff and residents…"
Announcement of Leland Home Closing as New Options Are Explored
(Waltham, MA)-The Board of Managers for The Leland Home announced today the anticipated closure of the facility on November 20, 2020. The 38-bed rest home is licensed as a Level IV residential care facility by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, currently serving 19 residents. The Leland Home is managed by Deaconess Abundant Life Communities, a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization serving New England seniors for 130 years.
Founded in 1879, The Leland Home has served thousands of seniors and hundreds since its affiliation with Deaconess Abundant Life Communities. "The Leland Home has been an important and valued provider of care and services to the Waltham Community for more than a century. Unfortunately, the obstacles of an aging facility, changing consumer preference and challenging economics have led to this decision," said Christopher Sintros, President and CEO of Deaconess Abundant Life Communities. "We are pursuing multiple options that will allow the not for profit Leland Mission to continue in the Waltham community."
As required by law, The Leland Home has submitted a detailed Closure and Relocation Plan to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health outlining the steps to work with residents and their families in finding appropriate placement for each resident and assisting them with the transition. "Our leadership and Boards have grappled with alternatives for a long time before making this very difficult decision," said Christine Battisti Keane, Executive Director of The Leland Home. "We are committed to do our best to make this transition a smooth one for each resident, family member, staff member, and the Waltham community."
"Our staff is our greatest resource," continued Battisti Keane. "It is our hope and intention for our staff to continue here throughout the transition, and to then consider a position within the Deaconess home care division or one of the other Deaconess communities nearby. We are proud of the devotion that our staff shows our residents and are proud of the compassionate care we provide."
Generous, sacrificial givers have made it possible for the Leland Home and Deaconess to bring creative, compassionate care forward into the 21st century. Our future is being created today by both the gift of time and resources from friends, residents and their families, employees, churches, local businesses, and other organizations.
