"We have been residents of Scandia Shores since July 2007. Not a day has gone by where we have regretted moving to this fine independent facility. We made the decision to give up our home and move at a relatively young age for several reasons. We took a good look at our lives: past, present and future in 2007. Our children (three boys) had left home. We realized that we were not using all the rooms in our home and did not need all the space. We knew that, like it or not, we were aging and this was and is inevitable for everyone. After attending an open house at Scandia Shores, we met several of the residents and knew this was to be our new home. Scandia Shores truly fulfills our present and future needs. We can continue to enjoy our aging process in a beautiful building while in blissful comfort among a host of new friends.
