After operating under a not-for-profit board for 131 years, the Samuel F. Vilas Home, Plattsburgh, N.Y., has changed hands. According to an article in the Press-Republican, new owners hope to expand from “base-level assisted living” and create an enhanced assisted living facility with capacity for memory-care services.

Reporter McKenzie Delisle writes that “the first step would be a historic renovation of the building, which could include an expansion, expected to finish within the next two years…The new owner said the renovations to the Vilas Home would bring in additional bathrooms, expand room size and make other improvements.”
