My Dad was at Scandinavian Home Assisted Living 3 years ago several times for Respite Care and received great compassionate care and enjoyed all the daily activities. As a result of my experience with Dad, I recently had my Aunt, Dad's sister, there for Respite Care, who experienced the same quality of care and enjoyed her time there. Many of the staff remembered my Dad which was so nice to hear, and see staff are still working at Scandinavian Home I knew 3 years ago. I feel that says a lot for the facility with employees having longevity there. They provide great support to family members and their loved ones.

My mom has been residing there for14 years. She came when she was 88 and is soon to be 103. The care has been amazing which I believe is one of the reasons she has thrived there. The food is delicious. In good weather the residents get to go on outings. The apartments are attractive. It is a wonderful place to live out your golden years.
