Choosing An Assisted Living Facility

It can be a complicated decision to place a loved one in an assisted living community and there are many considerations when choosing a senior facility. The primary consideration is whether or not your loved one’s care needs can be met in the level of care you’re pursuing – and for how long. It’s important to understand whether or not your loved one needs assisted living or secure memory care or if a nursing home or independent living retirement home is more appropriate. We are happy to help you determine the most appropriate level of care. Please contact us today to discuss your situation further or to schedule a tour!

Additionally, we always remind families not to underestimate the benefits of a well-structured day with consistent meal times and medication deliveries along with a healthy and balanced diet. Combined with living and interacting with a building full of people – both peers and staff – and a variety of activities and outings to keep residents active, most people who are new to senior living find that the benefits are significant.

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.

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.

Respite Care

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

The Vilas Home is one of the finest establishments to live in, all the staff are so pleasant and great to be around.
