We are governed by a Board of Managers composed of volunteers who are competent and compassionate citizens of the community, and managed by Deaconess Abundant Life Communities.

Our History

Founded in 1879, The Leland Home has a long and distinguished history of serving seniors in the Waltham community. Our history dates back to the late 19th century when a group of philanthropists, including Frederick M. Stone, Thomas F. Fales, Charles Dix, and Daniel French, proposed the idea of a home for elderly women. With the help of a bequest from the estate of Mrs. Hannah C. Leland, the Home for Aged Women of Waltham was established, and the rest is history.

Don't just take our word for it! Here's what some of our residents and family members have to say about The Leland Home:

"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."
