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.”

Ana Silva

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.
