Overview of Serenity Spring Senior Living at Scandia Village

Serenity Spring Senior Living at Scandia Village is a full continuum senior care community administered by Sister Bay CBRF OpCo LLC in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, offering comprehensive care options, including independent living, assisted living, long-term skilled nursing care, and post-acute rehabilitation. Featuring a 30-bed capacity in the beautiful lakeside community of Wisconsin, the community focuses on providing personalized care and in-house therapy services for older adults in Door County, while maintaining a home-like environment.

Operating at approximately 77% occupancy rate, the community is currently serving 23 residents per day. In line with the Wisconsin state average, availability is open for interested families. The community’s availability also benefits those seeking a placement near their homes, as there are limited options for senior care on the Door County peninsula.

The community has undergone two complaint-initiated inspections, one of which was followed by a re-inspection in September 2025, which confirmed that all deficiencies were corrected. With 2 deficiencies on its record, the community has a strong compliance record, which is ideal for families evaluating the quality of care, particularly one that accepts Medicare.

With a smaller scale, the community is considerably well-equipped, especially with its wide range of services, including a doctor on staff, skilled nursing, 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, and in-house therapy. The community’s Medicare-certified status, along with on-site physician services and skilled nursing coverage, makes it a practical option for older adults who require post-acute rehabilitation after hospitalization and those seeking long-term placements. Beyond Medicare, families are encouraged to ask the community directly for payment options, as Medicaid is not confirmed.

Since senior care options are limited in Doory County, Serenity Spring Senior Living at Scandia Village’s medically-capable, full continuum of care makes it an ideal option for families and older adults who value proximity and familiarity, along with quality care. The community’s smaller scale also allows for a more personal, relationship-centered care experience, while ensuring hands-on attention with a doctor-on-staff and certified nursing team. Short-term rehabilitation and long-term care are both provided, making it an ideal option for those with a variety of needs.
