Encore Wisconsin LLC operates Bellevue Senior Living, a 126-bed assisted living and independent living community at 1660 Hoffman Rd in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Thomas Ostrom administers the building, which is three stories tall and has been open for five years. The neighborhood scores 25 on Walk Score, so it’s somewhat walkable, but most errands still call for a car.
69 of the 126 beds are filled, nicely putting occupancy at 55 percent. That’s on the lower end for a community this size, though it also means there’s more room available than at a facility running near capacity. Private rooms are the housing option here, which matters if privacy is a priority for your family.
A therapy pool gives residents a gentler way to stay active or simply relax, and there’s also a library. An onsite beauty salon and barbershop cover basic grooming needs without leaving the building. Group activities include exercise classes and gardening trips, and pets are welcome.
Monthly rates run from $2,000 to $7,000 depending on room type and care level, a wide enough range that it’s worth asking directly which end applies to a specific situation. Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, conducts unannounced surveys of communities like this one to confirm they’re meeting health and safety standards.
Bellevue Senior Living reads as a smaller-scale option for families who want private rooms, pet-friendly policies, and a handful of specific amenities like a therapy pool, over a flashier or more crowded environment.
