Embracing Vibrant Senior Living in
Belmont, MA: The Scandinavian Living Center
Belmont families looking for assisted living close to home will find the Scandinavian Living Center a short drive away in West Newton, Massachusetts. We are a small, nonprofit community of 40 apartments that has cared for elders since 1917. Residents keep their independence and get help with the parts of daily life that have become hard.
Assisted Living for Belmont Families
- Three Meals a Day: Chef-prepared meals served in a shared dining room, where residents get to know one another over breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- Personal Care: Help with bathing, dressing and the other activities of daily living, planned around each resident’s own routine.
- Medication Monitoring: Staff keep track of medications and timing, so family in Belmont doesn’t have to manage it from across town.
- An Accessible Van: Our handicap-accessible van takes residents to medical appointments, shopping and outings.
- Weekly Housekeeping: Housekeeping and laundry are taken care of, so each apartment stays comfortable without the work.
- Places to Gather: A café with a fireplace, a non-denominational chapel, a hair salon and a game room, all under one roof.
For Belmont families, size matters as much as location. With just 40 apartments and a long-serving staff, the Scandinavian Living Center is small enough that every resident is known as an individual. Life here also reaches beyond our walls: the Scandinavian Cultural Center shares our campus, and community groups hold meetings and events in our spaces, so neighbors of every age come through the door.
From Belmont, the drive to West Newton runs through Watertown or Waltham, so stopping in after work or on a weekend is easy. The best way to decide is to see the SLC for yourself: join us for a meal, meet residents and staff, and look at an apartment.
To arrange a visit, call us at 617-527-6566 or send us a message. We look forward to meeting you.
