Embracing Vibrant Senior Living in
Wellesley, MA: The Scandinavian Living Center
Wellesley families looking at assisted living often want a parent to stay close to familiar ground. The Scandinavian Living Center is in West Newton, just east of Wellesley along Route 16 and minutes from Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Our nonprofit community of 40 apartments has cared for elders since 1917.
Assisted Living for Wellesley Families
- Meals Together: Three chef-prepared meals every day, with dietary needs accommodated.
- Care That Adjusts: Personal care assistance with bathing, dressing and other daily tasks, adjusted as a resident’s needs change.
- Health Care Close By: Newton-Wellesley Hospital is minutes away, and Boston’s major medical centers are less than 10 miles off.
- Getting Around: Our accessible van brings residents to medical appointments, shopping and outings.
- Fitness & Wellness: Morning stretch, chair yoga and tai chi help residents stay strong and steady on their feet.
- Culture on Campus: Lectures, concerts and art events at the Scandinavian Cultural Center, right on our grounds.
For Wellesley families, the Scandinavian Living Center offers something larger communities can’t: a small, home-like setting where staff and residents know one another. Residents keep up the interests they have always had, from lectures and book reviews to musical performances and trips to museums and gardens.
A visit from Wellesley takes only a few minutes along Route 16, so family can drop in for lunch, come to a concert or simply sit and talk. If you are weighing assisted living for a parent, come for a tour and a meal and see whether the SLC feels right.
