The
Scandinavian Home began in 1930 “to provide a loving
home for aged men and women of good repute.” The founders
and early residents could never have imagined that our original
“rest home” would evolve into a skilled nursing
facility providing care that at one time only a hospital
could offer. Nor could they have imagined the extent to
which government reimbursement policies threaten our financial
health.
We think our
founders would be very proud of us today. Proud that the
Scandinavian Home is one of the most desirable, best managed
nursing facilities in the state. Proud that we remain driven
by an uncompromising insistence on quality in our staff,
facilities and care. Proud that we retain the warmth, spirit
and traditions which have been our hallmark for 75 years.
Scandinavian
Home has been able to sustain excellence because of the
farsighted generosity of people who have contributed
to our endowment fund. They are the source of our current
strength and the foundation that shapes our future.
No
one knows what the future brings, but our endowment has
always enabled us to respond to changing needs and expectations.
