Villa Toscana is a gated community for adults aged 55 and older, sitting near the intersection of Meritage Drive and Pienza Drive, with 480 single-family resale homes that have modern features, spacious layouts, and the sort of low-maintenance exteriors that mean you don't spend so much time on repairs or yardwork, and residents get privacy and security from the gates, while professional crews keep the landscaping neat and the streets tidy, so you'll see sidewalks and meandering pathways through green, well-kept areas, plus a big golf course with mountain views for those who like to get out and play. The heart of everything is the Villa, which is a large clubhouse with three activity spaces, a welcoming lobby, a business center, a game room with billiards and poker tables, an indoor fitness center, two pools (one heated indoors for year-round use, one outside for warm seasons), a spa, and a shady patio; there's free tea and coffee each morning, a library with books and puzzles to borrow, and the staff includes administrative and maintenance folks, an onsite coordinator working 40 hours a week, and a Board of Directors assisted by community volunteers.
Health and support services are pretty broad, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, with some of these services located both on the main grounds and in nearby facilities like Brookdale Sparks and MorningStar Senior Living, which offer options like in-room kitchens and personalized care plans, memory care, medication help, daily personal care, and 24-hour emergency alert systems so folks get what they need at each stage. There's a Community Health Nurse who runs blood pressure clinics, gives vaccinations, and helps at meal sites, so medical help is easy to reach. Other support includes subsidized rides for those over 60 through Washoe Senior Ride, meal services with nutritional accommodations like diabetes diets, full housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, allergy-sensitive meals, support services for families, and concierge help when needed.
Recreation is pretty varied since the Villa Toscana Recreation Center and the Sparks Senior Citizens Center both offer daily activities like lunch, games of bingo, ceramics, painting, card games, and regular fitness programs such as aerobics, chair yoga, Tai Chi, water aerobics, and Zumba; there's a bocce ball court, a secure dog park for pets with benches and shady spots, walking paths, scenic green spaces, and events held all throughout the year, including movie nights, art groups, bridge and other card games, line dancing, ping pong, quilting, music programs, and more, making it easy to stay active and social. Some activities are resident-run, while others are set up by staff or volunteers, and there are special programs for youth sports and soccer using the fields and leagues associated with El Sol De Nevada Soccer League and Great Basin Youth Soccer League.
The homes themselves have a range of layouts and include useful features like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, phones, and furnishings, so residents settle in comfortably according to their own needs. The grounds include a multipurpose room, an arts and activity area, a locker room, and outdoor programs along with open common spaces and a retention pond that works as a water feature and as habitat for wildlife. Community management comes from Equus Management Group, which keeps everything organized, keeps amenities running, and helps keep a friendly, safe, and tidy environment for residents. Overall, Villa Toscana puts a focus on comfort, support, and plenty of choices for both care and lifestyle, so you find what works best for you as you age.
