When I lived in Northern Virginia, there were small companies that would buy and manage large single family houses and equip them to allow 4 or 5 people to live in the house. The company would hire professional caregivers to work a 48-hour shift, so that there was always a caregiver living in the house 24/7. The advantage to the caregivers was that they could be paid a fulltime wage and only work 2 days per week. It was an alternative to moving into an assisted living facility. I don't know if it would work in The Villages.
