Built in 2021, The Villas takes a residential approach to nursing home and assisted living care that’s uncommon in Cheyenne. Units are private villas with full bathrooms, in-unit washers and dryers, garages, stainless steel appliances, and gas fireplaces. Utilities, lawn care, snow removal, housekeeping, and maintenance are all included. That’s a meaningfully different physical environment than most facilities in this care category.
The community sits at 6807 Faith Dr, 4.3 miles from downtown Cheyenne and 1.37 miles from the nearest hospital. Walk Score is 8, so a car or the facility’s transportation service is necessary for any errand. Transportation is provided for shopping and planned social events. Optional meal plans are available rather than required, which fits the independent-residential model.
Care types span nursing home, assisted living, and memory care. The facility is not CMS-certified, which means Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted here. That’s a structural fact, not a gap: state-licensed residential care communities outside the federal CMS system are a distinct category, and private payment is the standard arrangement. Rehabilitation services are listed among the facility’s offerings.
The Villas presents a private-pay, villa-style care model in a newly built community, designed for residents who want residential-grade accommodations without the institutional footprint of a conventional nursing home.
