I want to live here when I grow old. The fact that it is joint with the Scandinavian cultural center is great.<br>There is a library of books in all the Scandinavian/Nordic languages, including a children's room. Saturday's there are Kaffestuga with Scandinavian baked goods for sale (not just for residents). There used to Danish classes for kids and a Danish playgroup here, but not this year due to low registration; hopefully that will return. The Danish Society has its Christmas and Fastelavn events in the Great Hall. I assume the other Nordic countries had events here too. There are weekly movie nights with movies from the Nordic countries.

This is an assisted living facility started for Scandinavians but now open to everyone. It has a friendly atmosphere and residents seem happy. There is a beautiful hall for activities.
