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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Scandinavian Living Center

Scandinavian Living Center offers 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Scandinavian Living Center 8.9 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.
