Gamlas Vanner is Swedish for “friends of the elderly.” Membership in the Gamlas Vanner Society is reserved for donors who give $5,000 or more to the Scandinavian Home or have made a provision to bequeath $5,000 or more through their estate plan.

Many members have given gifts as a remembrance of a loved one or in appreciation for the care their family member received. Membership is also a wonderful way to commemorate a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary.

If you wish to become a member of the Society by making a bequest, simply notify us in writing and provide evidence that you have included The Scandinavian Home as a beneficiary in your will or life insurance. You do not need to know the exact amount your gift will eventually be.

The name of each distinguished member of the Gamlas Vanner Society is permanently inscribed on one of the bricks which border the beautiful mural in the entrance to the Nursing Home and also on one of the leaves on the Retirement Center's Recognition Tree.
