Great community involvement and individualized care.
The services are very personalized for the resident. It is a relatively small facility so they can afford to provide that level of attention. That, the openness to the greater community through hosting cultural events were the reasons we chose SLC. And of course, the minimal entry fee mad

About the facility
Scandinavian Living Center

The Scandinavian Living Center, open to all nationalities, is a non-profit community set on three beautiful acres in a lovely residential area near Boston. With only forty apartments, its small size and bright space promote a warm and intimate family-like atmosphere where residents enjoy the highest level of comfort and independence. Residents benefit from a full range of services as well as a caring and supportive 24-hour on-site staff, state of the art fitness center with customized exercise program, quiet reading in the library, sipping coffee with friends in the café or delighting in activities such as yoga, lectures, movies, art exhibitions or recitals in its wonderful entertainment room, the Nordic Hall. Longevity of staff, its community-wide offerings and its emphasis on the Scandinavian philosophy of autonomy and dignity for older adults make this an attractive choice for those seeking assistance with activities of daily living or merely a stress-free way of life. Its mission is to be a life-enhancing community that celebrates senior living through a commitment to healthy minds and active bodies.

Great community involvement and individualized care.
The services are very personalized for the resident. It is a relatively small facility so they can afford to provide that level of attention. That, the openness to the greater community through hosting cultural events were the reasons we chose SLC. And of course, the minimal entry fee made this much more accessible for her to move in without consulting a lot of her financial resources.

Our families experience
The whole place has a very friendly atmosphere. SLC offers a lot of programs that are open to people who live in the surrounding community, so the residents feel like they are still part of the community. The food is very good. I would recommend Scandinavian Living Center to others.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Scandinavian Living Center

Scandinavian Living Center offers 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Scandinavian Living Center 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
