If you can get wheelchair transport. Well what happens is you are barred from entry to the Recreation center. A person like this can not play golf, swim, play pickle ball, Bocce or just about any thing else. They would consume just about zero of the Villages recreation resources. They would occupy a chair in a room. That is DISGUSTING. How much money does the Villages have to make. You should remember that ever one who lives here is headed for the same situation. In most case this situation will not go on for long because many of these people will not live very long.

So if letting old people in wheelchairs and walkers be in a room in a recreation center with there friends is going to bankrupt the Villages then this is a very different Villages then I know. These people built the Villages and they are the ones who paid for this place.

So when you live in the villages and there is no more money to made from you and they are done with you, you are Expendable. I think that this situation surely earns the Villages the designation as (AS THE FREINDLIST HOME TOWN IN AMERICAN) as long as you are not very old and sick.


I'm assuming you no longer have a Villages ID ? One of your friends can get you a guest ID.
