With so much to take in I would think there will probably be a few long stays.

As far as hospitals being 15+ mins away, our concern would be in the case of a critical life threatening situation whereas one would be brought to the closest 911 receiving facility. And hospitals further away would not come into play.
That’s where our life flights come in. We live south of 44 in Hawkins, and we have had the life flight helicopter fly in and land in the church parking lot and the paramedics which are only 3 minutes away took the cardiac patient from his home to the helicopter which was 2 minutes away. We do have a full free standing ER south of 44 right at the Brownwood square entrance. It’s fabulous. It’s no different from the hospital ER, and if they think you need to stay at a hospital for extended time they transfer you. For assisted living check out Watercrest and also Freedom Pointe. Btw we moved here sight unseen from Oregon. Bought a house via a video call from our realtor and had never visited here…only watched videos for research. Best thing we ever did. Love it here!!
