People from Assisted Living generally can not play golf swim or any other physical activity. At best they might get to a recreation center on a very limited bias. I would be more than happy to hear what the Recreation Department has to say about this. You would certainly hope that the reason they cannot enter the recreation centers is because the are old and use walkers and wheelchairs and that is bad for business.

Anyone who lives here can use the facilities. There are many folks who are in wheel chairs and use walkers and have suffered or are suffering from any number of physical ailments. The Villages facilities are for residents of The Villages. I have never thought that when it is time for some of us to move away from our homes here that we would have a life long pass to use the facilities. I imagine that if we returned after living here, one of our friends would get us a guest pass.
I think there were some excellent responses on this thread you started a couple of weeks ago;
