The Scandinavian Living Center (SLC) in Newton, MA, is a highly praised senior living facility known for its personalized care, vibrant community involvement, and excellent amenities. With 40 units, SLC offers a small, intimate setting that allows for individualized attention and a friendly atmosphere. Residents enjoy three chef-prepared meals daily, with many highlighting the quality of the food. The facility emphasizes community integration, hosting various cultural events, concerts, and educational programs open to both residents and the public. This approach helps seniors remain connected to the broader community. The center features Scandinavian architecture and decor, but welcomes residents of all races and nationalities. It boasts bright, airy rooms, a well-equipped gym with skilled instructors, and a library with Scandinavian books and media. The staff is consistently described as warm, caring, and dedicated to providing a supportive environment for successful aging. SLC's cafe, Kaffestugan, is noted for its authentic Scandinavian coffee and bakery items, including Swedish and Danish pastries. While most reviews are positive, one attendee of a Waffle Day event expressed disappointment, noting a discrepancy between the event's advertisement and reality. Overall, SLC is lauded for its excellent care, community-oriented programs, and welcoming environment, making it a desirable choice for senior living. The facility's convenient location near Boston and its commitment to fostering a lively, engaging atmosphere contribute to its reputation as one of the nicest assisted living options in the area.
