People look for relative safety when they pack up and move to a whole other way of life. We're not looking for health spas where our feet get rubbed by half-naked virginal boys carrying pitchers of warmed scented oils. We're looking for competent, efficient life-saving and disease-preventing health care.
It helps to know what we're moving into, before we actually move there. We COULD pick anywhere in the country to choose from, so when we do pick the Villages, we want to know that we made the right choice.
Judging from the board of health, the hospital organizations that actually know about this stuff, the state of Florida's health department, and the Villages residents, this hospital is remarkably horrible.

The hospital building is owned by the developer and leased to a hospital corporation. The second hospital corporation that leased it. This one came in 2013. The CDD does not have a drop of influence on how the hospital is run. Florida in general is in the bottom ten of all of the states in excellence in health care. My husband had surgery a month ago done by a specialist in The Villages Health Care System which is owned and run by the developer. The surgery was not done at TVRH, it was done at Advent Hospital in Ocala. The Villages Health Care system is a group of buildings that house a number of PCP's and PA's and surgeons and specialists and it was put in place to help us I think. AND of course it makes money. I was hospitalized in critical care for eight days at TVRH and I could not have asked for better care. Every single nurse and tech treated me as if I was their loved mother.
Jazuela. I think you should wait to move here and live here for awhile until you totally understand how this place works and doesn't work. You cannot depend on posters on a public forum for accuracy or depth of understanding. Patience, grasshopper.
