Activities of Daily Living

Activities of Daily Living

At the Vilas Home, we assist residents with a wide range of daily care needs including dressing, bathing, grooming, toileting, medication management, meals, transportation, activities and case management services.

Supportive In All the Best Ways


As an individual ages, it is normal for the activities of daily living to become difficult to perform. Our goal is to provide as much assistance as a person may require while still maintaining as much of their independence as possible. This helps the individual maintain what they can and receive help where they need it most.

Subtle Changes That Create A Big Impact


Assisted living communities offer a supportive housing environment that can make a world of difference in many facets of a resident's daily life. Having care staff available 24/7 to assist with dressing, medication management, traveling to and from meals, toileting assistance for incontinence management, and transportation to physicians and recreational outings, can lead to better physical function, new friendships, and a happier outlook.

Activities of Daily Living

Simple and Significant

Our dedicated team of highly trained caregivers know that residents need help in many different areas of their lives - and for each resident, it is deeply personal. At the Vilas Home, we offer personalized care that begins on day 1 as we sit down with each family and their loved one to create an individual care plan. Every person is unique with varying needs and preferences for how things are done. We do our very best to make the transition to our assisted living community a positive one!

Enhanced Assisted Living Services


Beyond general assistance with the Activities of Daily Living, we are able to offer transfer and ambulation assistance for 1 and 2-person transfers; medical equipment management including oxygen, nebulizer treatments, catheters, and colostomies; nursing assessments; wound care; feeding assistance; total incontinence management; and hospice care.

Rehabilitation Services

Offering both short-term senior rehab and longer-term assisted living, the Vilas Home provides exceptional care in an environment that feels like home.

Medication Management

Medication management is done under the supervision of a resident’s primary care provider and our trained medication care staff.

24-Hour Care

Offering 24/7 personalized care and supervision. Let our team of highly skilled caregivers provide support and assistance to your loved one any time of day or night.

Fall Management

Falls are a leading cause of injury in elderly individuals, limiting mobility and reducing quality of life. That’s why we work hard to prevent falls in our resident population through a comprehensive fall prevention planning program that identifies residents who are at higher risk and puts strategies in place to mitigate falls as much as possible.

Respite Care

Samuel F. Vilas Home provides short term respite care with a minimum stay requirement of two weeks, dependent on availability.
