The Villa Camillus is a for-profit, individually owned senior living facility with 75 certified beds and a high occupancy rate, usually caring for about 71 residents. The place has accepted Medicaid and Medicare, so residents can use those services there. There's a range of living options, with private rooms, shared rooms, and studio units that offer things like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and they come furnished if someone wants. The whole building stays comfortable thanks to full air conditioning, and it's fully sprinklered for fire safety, while the property is wheelchair accessible and has onsite parking for families and visitors.
Residents have access to several amenities like a movie theater, a dining room with restaurant-style dining, and a special focus on healthy meals with allergen-sensitive and diabetic options. Meals get made by a professional chef and folks dine in a shared space. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning services help keep things tidy, and there are outdoor spaces like walking paths and gardens, as well as an activity room, art and music rooms, a library, fitness and wellness centers, and a spa room. Community activities keep people busy with arts, games, fitness classes, music, movie nights, and scheduled daily events that help folks socialize. The Villa Camillus supports residents with move-in coordination and has family support services, too.
Nursing care ranges from 12 to 16 hours a day, with a registered nurse on staff as shown by their quality measures, and a 24-hour emergency call system means help is always nearby. Villa Camillus runs as a skilled nursing facility, giving short- and long-term care for those who need help with physical or mental health problems. Caregivers help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, medications, or getting around, and there's special non-ambulatory care when needed. The community enforces policies to stop mistreatment and theft, and always tells residents, families, and doctors when injuries or major health changes happen.
Assisted living services offer meals, housing, and daily support for seniors needing ongoing help, while memory care services support folks with Alzheimer's and dementia in a safe setting that aims to reduce confusion. There are independent living options for active seniors, and home care services for people who want to stay at home with help from trained aides. Villa Camillus runs residential care homes for seniors who benefit from a smaller, shared environment and live-in help. There's scheduled transportation for resident needs.
Villa Camillus isn't a continuing care retirement community and isn't part of a chain, nor is it located within a hospital, but it's got its own feel, some say influenced by its past use as a Columbia Township nursing home, with its own style including dim lighting that calls to mind a church or funeral home. While information can be spotty due to some listing errors, it's known as a clean, comfortable place, with helpful, friendly staff and a focus on keeping residents safe, active, and feeling at home. Residents and families can join councils to share feedback or concerns, and the facility tailors its services to different care needs, always aiming for a nurturing environment. There's also a recovery housing program for women with children as a unique feature. The facility doesn't have a special focus designation or recent official quality indicator survey. Villa Camillus serves a range of seniors, helping them keep their independence as much as possible, while offering professional medical and supportive care when needed.
