OP, The Villages is not a place you come to for medical care. It is TV’s Achilles’ heel. My uncle moved here in 1992. There were poor medical facilities then and there are poor medical facilities now (in TV). He loved it anyways and died here. His wife looked after him, then she went into independent care herself. This is a place you come to for activities. When you are past that stage most people sell their house and go home to family or to long term care. There is no public transportation even. This place is not your typical city.
