Overview of Emerald Bay Retirement Community

Emerald Bay Retirement Community sits on Centennial Centre Boulevard in Hobart, Wisconsin, in Brown County, just outside Green Bay. It’s a smaller place with just Twenty-four beds total, spread across a two-story building that’s been open for seven years. The neighborhood is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of just 14, so residents and visiting family will mostly be driving to get anywhere.

The community is running at 83% occupancy, with 20 of those 24 beds filled. People live in one- and two-bedroom apartments with their own kitchens and walk-in showers. Outside, there are ponds, patios, and gardens.

Inside, there’s a bistro, a fireplace, and a shared dining room. Baking and craft activities show up regularly, which gives people something to do with their hands and a reason to be around each other. Emerald Bay also supports residents managing diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and colostomy care needs specifically, so this isn’t just general assisted living. Pets are welcome too, and the community offers transportation services plus fitness and recreation programming.

Monthly rates run $6,700 to $10,000. The community is legally operated by Scal Of Hobart LLC. Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, handles inspections here, showing up unannounced to check that health and safety rules are being followed.

This is a small, private-room community built around specific medical support as much as general daily living, set in a quiet, car-dependent pocket near Green Bay.
