In the late 1920s a group of Swedish immigrants got together to figure out a way to care for their elderly. By 1930 a decision was made to buy a beautiful house on Broad Street which was called The Scandinavian Old People’s Home… and the rest is history!

The building, at 1811 Broad Street, was purchased in 1930 from the estate of Colonel Joseph Samuels, the owner of the Outlet Company, and remodeling and furnishing began immediately. In 1932 the home was formally ready to receive guests. From the very beginning a volunteer Board of Directors was in charge of this new endeavor and this continues today.
