Scandinavian Living Center Description
The Scandinavian Living Center offers residents a unique community-centered living experience. Every aspect of our offerings is influenced by our fundamental belief that age does not and should not limit one’s participation as a member of the community.
We have taken the best parts of the Scandinavian approach to elder care and created a community open to those from all cultures, religions and backgrounds. While Scandinavian principles are central to our philosophy, we see our diverse population as one of our strengths as a residential community.
