Hi: The Villages is a great place for all ages. If you move here when you are 55, 65, and are fortunate to make it to your 90's or 100's, it is great. Lots of emotional support. Moving ANYWHERE when you are ninety is iffy. I do not want to be overly dramatic, but it change for the elderly is traumatic. I recall one 93 yo man from Baltimore that allowed me to sit in on sessions between him and my prof (his therapist). His daughter was called by the police to come get him because he was standing on a corner, almost in tears, very confused. The man made the same trek, daily, for years. From the home, to the newspaper store, and back. A small insignificant (to us) building was torn down along his route. It had been being worked on for weeks, but the prior day it was taken down. This created the reaction described above. You are faced with a very tricky situation. I wish you and Mom the best (does she know anyone down here at TV?).
