Village on the Isle
An island jewel and retirement treasure
Village on the Isle is a full service, not-for-profit, faith-
based, continuing care retirement community (CCRC)
located on the island in Venice, Florida, less than half
a mile from the Gulf of Mexico. The community opened
its doors in 1982, on a 14-acre property. Their campus
is home to over 425 residents in 210 apartment-style
residences and cottages, 90 assisted living apart-
ments, and 60 beds in its post-acute care, skilled
nursing facility.
Village on the Isle has about 285 employees which
places it as the second largest employer in the City of
Venice. As an affiliate of the social ministries of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, one of the
largest Christian denominations in the United States,
the mission of Village on the Isle is to serve the needs
of its senior residents and provide them with a con-
tinuum of care and support as their needs change.
The community is well-recognized in both state and
national rating systems and recently earned local ac-
claim from Venice residents and readers of the Venice
Gondolier Sun newspaper for its high quality of care
