Tuscan Gardens of Venetia Bay Senior Living sits on more than six acres in Venice, Florida, close to downtown, shopping, dining, beaches, and the Venice Regional Medical Center. The community, which has been open since 2016 and holds license #12918 from the state of Florida, serves seniors aged 55 and over with a mix of independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, memory care, respite care, and short-term stay options. Residents get to enjoy a white stucco building with a welcoming feel, where lofty ceilings and tall windows let in a lot of natural light, and the bedrooms come with warm-toned decor, plush bedding, and accessible bathrooms for those who need it, while community spaces like a cozy common area with a fireplace and piano offer chances to gather any time of day.
Many find the outside areas relaxing thanks to artfully landscaped courtyards, palm trees, a tranquil fountain, and manicured lawns, with marked walking paths and sidewalks for easy outdoor strolls, and when the weather's not so nice, the community has a media room with a theater setup for movie nights, a fitness center with equipment for seniors, a game room, a library, and an arts and crafts studio, all on-site. Residents can bring their pets and use the Tuscan Pets program for companionship, join gardening activities through Tuscan Roots horticultural therapy, and take part in scheduled daily activities, social events, and signature programs that focus on art, music, and Italian cultural experiences. The community offers a business room, a salon/barber shop, a spa, and a Tuscan kitchen to help folks maintain routines they're used to.
Assistance is available for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, with 12-16 hour nursing coverage and a 24-hour call system, so help is never far away. People with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia can move into the memory care area, which has a secure setup, familiar routines, and support for mild cognitive issues, and the staff includes care professionals available at all hours. All residents get housekeeping, laundry services, transportation to appointments or shopping, and access to nutritious, chef-prepared meals served in an elegant dining space with white linens and large windows, and there are snacks or refreshments if needed between meals.
The community attracts people who like having options, whether that means taking part in group fitness or wellness activities, using the fitness room equipped with NuStep recumbent trainers, or joining in special events led by staff who want residents to laugh, learn, and stay engaged. Wi-Fi and high-speed internet are available everywhere, and there are virtual and video tour options too. The facility runs with the idea that seniors should live with dignity, respect, and a sense of purpose, and the Italian Cultural Exchange Program as well as other signature activities help keep residents active.
