Community Life

Ask anyone who is familiar with the Samuel F. Vilas Home in Plattsburgh and they will tell you what a special place it is. The original building was constructed in 1888 by the Vilas family and has been meticulously maintained over the years.  A large addition was completed in the 1990s ensuring that the Vilas Home maintains its historic charm, but offers modern amenities to fit today's occupants.  

This beautifully updated Victorian mansion has served as a residence for aging adults since its inception in 1888. The original home offered  42 resident rooms, with spacious living, dining and sun rooms for residents to utilize. Following a two-phased construction project, the Vilas Home is now licensed for Enhanced, Assisted Living. This license allows staff to provide a variety of skilled nursing services, as well as a soon to be secure Memory Care unit, designed specifically to meet the needs of individuals who have dementia or other cognitive decline. The Vilas Home is located in the heart of Plattsburgh next to CVPH and across the street from SUNY Plattsburgh. Inside residents enjoy private rooms and bathrooms, well-lit spaces, a two-story dining room along with living rooms, an activities room, large 4-season porches as well as an array of outdoor spaces for our residents to enjoy. 

Our community offers a full range of services,  from the variety of planned daily activities we offer and attentive personalized care our staff delivers to the home-cooked comfort foods coming out of our kitchen and birthday celebrations we throw for each resident, the Vilas Home truly feels like home when staying home is no longer a safe option.
