Daily Events & Activities

Being active and staying active promotes a happy and healthy life.

At the Vilas Home, we pride ourselves on having a full events calendar for our residents. Planned in a way that residents can use their minds, bodies, and spirit, our activity staff will work individually or in a group to engage all interest levels in our daily events.

Weekly Rotating Events:

  • Arts and Crafts
  • Card Games
  • Wii Games
  • Memory Games
  • Live Music
  • Outdoor Competitions (Weather Permitting)
  • Pet Therapy
  • Snack Socials

Over the years we have listened to our resident's feedback and have worked to create a calendar that reflects what they really enjoy doing. And we add new events all the time based on what we hear from our residents and families. Our activity staff are great motivators and make sure that everyone finds something they love doing and is included.

Scheduled Activities

Scheduled Activities

Our monthly activities program includes daily opportunities for both the introverts and extroverts among us to get out and exercise the mind and body. These activities are designed to be fun, entertaining, and stimulating and may include arts & crafts, fine arts, musical events, or food-related gatherings.

Daily Exercise

Daily Exercise

If maintaining strength and mobility is important to you, our daily exercise program provides a diverse array of offerings from group walks to chair aerobics to giant bowling and mini-golf.  If you are looking to stay physically active, we have a program for you!

Community Living

Community Living

We find that communal living tends to improve mobility and overall wellbeing as new residents have more opportunities to be up and about than when they were living at home. Daily interactions with staff and peers- from meal time to hourly safety checks - also provide stimulation and companionship especially when an individual chooses not to partake in the scheduled events. 

Dining

Fresh, quality ingredients expertly prepared by our team of chefs.

Daily Exercise

At the Vilas Home, we are in constant pursuit of providing a fun and healthy environment for all our residents, no matter their current level of mobility and fitness.

Housekeeping & Laundry

We believe in taking pride in the cleanliness of our facility. Our staff handles all housekeeping and laundry services with the belief that this is our home and everything is handled with care.

Transportation

Samuel F. Vilas Home offers our residents transportation to doctor’s appointments along with scheduled shopping and activity outings. Weekly outings are scheduled as part of the activities calendar and are posted on the transportation boards located in the community’s lobby and in the dining room.
