I didn't say anything about a "theme park". In fact I think viewing TV as "Disney for Adults" is a recipe for disillusionment. It's not a vacation. It is life. Real life with real life problems that must be attended to. It is not a vacation that never ends.

If you look at the website TheVillages.com they market the "active seniors lifestyle". There is one "heading" that says "Senior Living Facilities" and 5 "Bullets" that say "Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care and Rehabilitation"...there are no supporting links to those bullets, that I can find. If they are there, great. However, there are links and links and pages and pages touting "activities". There are pictures of swimmers, golfers, dancers, pickleball players, etc. etc.

That is what they are selling. An "active senior lifestyle". The fact that you may desire, or your aunt and uncle succeeded in living here until they croaked is fine, but it's not what the place is primarily focused on.
I suspect that over the next 10 years what was the baby-boom market for active lifestyle with become the baby boom market for assisted living. But this isn't it yet, not here, not now.

I am curious to know how you can "guarantee" what the original vision was, in this regard.

A wise observation… and in the past TV was a place to live and die and have fun while you were at it. Now it seems like fun! fun! fun! and that is it.

Oh about the guarantee, both my parents and uncle and aunt knew Mr Schwartz personally.
