Can anyone recommend some way to get support if one is alone? Agencies to help with day to day living? Or legal advice? I've heard of an ad leitan (sp) Would that work?

And advice would be appreciated.
Good question. There are thousands of married people and widows and widowers living in The Villages who are facing the same problem. The Villages is not designed or equipped to provide the type of support that you are asking for. You may want to start visiting some of the independent and assisted living facilities and talking with the people who live in them. Living alone in a single family house with limited transportation options is difficult for a lot of people. Good luck.
