I know that DAV provides daily van service free to the VA Gainesville.

Maybe just go to The Villages VA clinic and speak in person with the Associate Director or some other person in charge to get everything in place.

Sounds as though the VA is trying to be helpful but veterans need to realize how many need service so it cannot be a perfect experience for everyone.
You have no Idea if you haven't attempted to call them.
