What They’re Saying

The Wilson Commons management team are fantastic. The community is well maintained and reasonably priced and the services they provide are excellent and wide-ranging. The staff is extraordinarily responsive, friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend considering Wilson Commons as a senior living community for yourself or a family member.

My dad recently moved into Wilson and I can't say enough about the management team and staff. Rick, the ED, and Ana, the Assistant ED, have high expectations and it shows. It was a big decision to move to assisted living for him. Kaitlin, the Community Relations Manager, made the transition so easy for us. She even came out to his rehab facility to go over paperwork and lease with us. Dad was tentative to allow the caregivers to help, but they never gave up and have finally won him over! He tells me that the food is very good and he appreciates the fact that he can get his eggs cooked hot and how he likes them on a regular basis. According to him, "the desserts are wonderful and they even spoil us with expensive ice cream flavors in a real scoop instead of out of a plastic container". He likes Tuesdays because that is cleaning day and when done, everything looks and smells wonderful in his apartment. Thank you to nurse manager, Shuntay, for taking extra time to establish a nice connection with my dad. Special shout out to Naima, caregiver, for taking time to chat everyday and for being so kind and helplful.

This is a wonderful place for assisted living. The care and concern for my mother was outstanding. The staff and aids were always extremely helpful. If you would need assisted living care, I definitely recommend that you consider them.

My brother Manuel is in assisted living here at Wilson Commons. I am his sister and have not seen him look so good in the past 2 years. I was helping him as much as I could before, but now that he is getting all the care he needs, I don't have to worry about him so much.

Extremely professional, friendly, and helpful staff! Love having the peace of mind that when I can’t be there with my grandmother, there are wonderful caring people looking out for her!

    Rick Roeglin

    Executive Director

    A helper by nature – when you meet Rick Roeglin, you immediately know you’re in good hands. And those who know him well, know he’s determined to make a difference in the lives of area seniors. With a degree in Computer Networking, you’re probably wondering how Rick ended up as the Executive Director at Wilson Commons. While attending school, it was that instinct to help that kicked in while working part-time as a caregiver for a home care company. Rick eventually moved into the role of Director of Client Services and then Director of Marketing, before deciding it was time to make the move to Assisted Living. Rick joined Capri in 2019 as a Customer Relations Manager and did such a great job, that he earned the promotion to Executive Director of Wilson Commons in 2021. Rick says he likes working at Wilson Commons because he gets to make families “feel like they have options when they feel stuck or unsure how to move forward. I let them know that they are not alone, and that we are here for them.”

    Kaitlin Kelly

    Community Relations Manager

    Good is the enemy of great! This is Kaitlin’s personal moto and is always on the forefront of her mind while working with residents and families in her role as Community Relations Manager at Wilson Commons. One of the things that makes Kaitlin stand out is her desire to always be learning. She asks questions, is perceptive of her environment and pays attention to details. She is most proud when working with new residents and families to help them find peace of mind in their decision to call Wilson Commons home. Outside of work, Kaitlin values being active and tries to fit in a workout each day. She is also a dedicated soccer coach who inspires young athletes on and off the field. A few bucket list items for Kaitlin are traveling to Ireland, Iceland, Scotland and Antarctica. In her free time, she also enjoys hiking, going on walks and dinners with friends. Wilson Commons is very happy that Kaitlin chose to play for our team!

    Ana Silva

    Assistant Executive Director

    Ana started her journey at Wilson Commons as a caregiver, showcasing her commitment to personal and professional growth. She takes pride in her ability to evolve within the company, a testament to her organizational skills, flexibility and fast learning capabilities. Inspired by her siblings, she strives to do better every day. Outside of work, Ana’s passions lie in travel and culinary exploration. Having visited destinations like Aruba, Mexico, Bonaire and the Dominican Republic, she aspires to explore Italy and Spain in the near future. On the weekends, you’ll likely find her in the kitchen making a hearty breakfast or relaxing on the couch catching up on her favorite shows. Ana’s favorite part about the job is the relationships she builds with residents and their families, recognizing the richness of friendships across generations.
