Tomterrif: There are answers to your concern. A year ago we had a major Cancer in the family (Stage 3+) and of course went to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fl. 2 /12 hours from the Villages. The surgery was 100% effective and they have a house on the property that holds 28 long term patients. We were there for 6 weeks while having "radiation treatment". There were 3 heart transplants after surgery and 2 awaiting. Plus some other transplants (Liver, Lungs, Kidney, etc.) in the house Cost $45 a night which includes facilities for food, (own kitchens) large beautiful bedrooms overlooking lake and great Lani with rule that you must have 24/7 care person included in the price and comforts of the room. Another great reason for the villages..You have medical facilities close and some of the best in the USA.
