Default Considering a move to The Villages

We're considering a move to The Villages, hopefully within a year or so. Looking for a single family 2k+/- 3bed 2bth. As well we'll need some advice on Assisted Living Facilities in the area for an elderly parent.

A few questions in no particular order...

Which areas have natural gas ? Are all homes there on two separate water meters (potable and irrigation) ?

I see there are Freestanding ERs. Are these more Urgent Care or actual 911 receiving ERs ? Who is running them and are they the same as TV Health, whereas they only accept Medicare Advantage ? Other than The Villages Hospital near Spanish Springs what other hospitals are there in the area ? Are others planned to be built ? And as to health care I've read that doctors are far and few and the care in general is quite poor. Is there any truth to this ?

Are all or most homes block ? Who are/were the main builders in the area ?
Is the closest airport in Orlando ? We have family who will be visiting from time to time in NY. We heard mention there is a shuttle bus to and from, is this true ?

We'll be heading down in the next few weeks. What would be the best road(s) for traveling north and south ?

Thanks....
