“Vilas is a wonderful place. The staff is friendly and professional. The buildings and grounds are well kept and comfortable. I recommend anyone considering elder care, consider Vilas first.”
“Visited to get information. Staff member was unkind. She basically wanted to ignore me. I guess my jeans and t-shirt meant I couldn't afford the monthly expense. She didn't offer to show me around. The portion of the facility I did view was beautiful.”
