Don't worry about the food or shopping here, worry about the Health Care:
There is lot of hype about the Villages. One of the most disappointing lies i fell for is the slogan ""The Villages America’s Healthiest Hometown"",
I went to the ER at that beautiful hospital on Rte 441, called ""The Villages Regional Hospital"". It was not a good experience. Slow, inept, and unmotivated is the best way to describe my experience. I was finally diagnosed with a Kidney Stone, I was in a lot of pain, and got no pain meds for 3 hours. It did not appear to be very busy, so i don't know what the delay was. Just read the attached post to see other opinions of the Health Care System here in the Villages..........it is NOT a "SYSTEM".
