First, welcome to TV! We use the vet in the shopping center off rt301 in Wildwood, Animal Care Center of Wildwood Animal Hospital
354 Shopping Center Dr, Wildwood, FL 34785, Animal Care Center in Wildwood, Fl (352) 748-6348. We use Baylee Dental, Baylee plaza, Rt 441. We also use Lange eye for eye exams RT 101 and 466, and Hindsight for glasses (Pinellas plaza).

As for health coverage, as you will soon learn the villages health system ONLY accepts Medicare ADVANTAGE for those 65 or over. There are several threads on this situation, and a search will provide lots of reading material and things to think about, as well as many opinions. IMHO, this is a good service IF you are in good health, not so good if you have health problems. As soon as you get here, get in contact with SHINE, SHINE - Home, SHINE Program

This organization provides an UNBIASED information on health issues for elders. Once you have met with them, then you can contact the local health insurance firms to discuss if you want to go with a supplemental plan or an Advantage plan. When talking to SHINE be sure to discuss to potential problems that you may incur if you go with an Advantage plan and then decide to go back to Medicare.

Hope this helps, and again, welcome to TV!!
