    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Scandia Shores has received a variety of reviews from residents, their families, and professionals. Many highlight the caring staff, the range of interesting activities, and the quality of the food. The community is described as supportive, with residents enjoying a plethora of activities such as card games, book clubs, and shopping trips. The apartments, while noted by some as small when transitioning from a house, are praised for being clean, comfortable, and offering amenities like a garage, wood shop, billiards room, library, and recreation room.

    However, there are concerns raised about safety, with one reviewer reporting multiple incidents of physical aggression towards their parents by other residents, which were allegedly not adequately addressed by the administration. Another set of concerns revolves around the decline in meal quality, cleanliness, and maintenance, with some reviewers noting a significant downturn over time. Complaints include issues with heating not being fixed promptly, and a perceived lack of interest from the administration in maintaining the facility to high standards.

    Despite these concerns, many reviewers express satisfaction with their or their loved one's experience at Scandia Shores. The community is described as open, bright, and friendly, with staff that goes above and beyond. The food generally receives high marks, and the social and recreational activities are appreciated for keeping residents engaged and happy. Some reviewers specifically mention the community's efforts to accommodate income-assisted residents, contributing to a diverse and inclusive environment.

    Overall, while Scandia Shores is praised for its atmosphere, staff, and activities, potential residents and their families may want to consider the mixed reviews regarding safety, maintenance, and administrative responsiveness when making their decision.
