Enhanced Services for the Short Term
Considerations for Chronic 2-Person Assistance
In situations where an individual seeking admission requires chronic 2-person transfer and ambulation assistance, and it is permanent and for the long term, that individual may be best suited for a skilled nursing facility where he or she can benefit from Hoyer lifts and other equipment measures.
Nursing Assessments
As an enhanced assisted living facility, the Vilas Home is able to provide a variety of nursing services under our enhanced license. This allows us to care for residents who require assistance with medical equipment management, transfer and ambulation assistance, insulin management and diabetic care needs, medication administration, total feeding assistance, wound care and skilled observations.
Incontinence Management
Incontinence is a common occurrence for many aging adults. In many cases, a structured day that includes regular cueing and reminders is enough to help a resident maintain or regain continence and lessen the severity of episodes of incontinence.
Equipment Management
For residents dependent on medical equipment, our team of licensed staff is able assist with medical equipment management including oxygen, catheters, colostomies, nebulizer treatments, and c-pap machines.
Insulin Assistance
Living with diabetes can be complicated, especially for aging individuals. In our assisted living setting, we are able to offer diabetic care and management as an enhanced care service. This includes glucose monitoring and insulin administration.
Hospice & Palliative Care
At the Vilas Home, hospice and palliative care services are available to residents planning for end of life care as long as we are able to meet the individual’s needs. We know that end of life planning is an uncertain endeavor and a difficult process to begin.
