Please do not suggest I put her in her own villa or apartment, or live with me, none of those options will work, they have been tried in the past. I am seeking an independent living facility that does not cost $5K a month. She does not really need any assistance, I just want her to be with other people for meals, etc. Thanks so much.
The nearest place for "Independent Living" is in Sun City, Fl. which is 1 1/2 hours from The Villages. Unfortunately, I just went through this with my dad a few weeks ago, he is 92. I spent hours on end investigating all alternatives on the internet and that is the closest facility to TV. All other facilities near or in TV are for assisted living, and the $5K/mo. is the normal rate for that service. Sorry for the bad news, but you can try to investigate it yourself on the internet.
