Two bedrooms are available for $6500 a month. That is the one person price, add $800 for a 2nd person per month. Waiting lists range from 2-12 months on everything except studio of which there are only 6 available. There was actually one available the day we were there. There is a $3000 non refundable charge to get on the waiting list but it is returned if you decide to take your name off list. What you get is 3 meals a day off a menu which rotates every 6 weeks plus alternate menu if you don’t like those selections. Dining room open 7-7 daily with breakfast items available anytime 7 to 7. They have covered garage which you get one spot free. Any other vehicle, golf cart would be outside, can’t rent another because no room. Have a bar in lobby, movie theatre, nice pool and exercise room with on staff professional PT person. All utilities included, even cable which you can upgrade at your cost. Once a week cleaning and free transportation to shopping and dr. Appointments. Sorry about the length.

Have you also checked out Sumter Senior Living on Rt 466A? It is very similar to Watercrest. Besides the cost, my main issue with both places is that they will only provide a month-to-month lease for an unfurnished apartment. I think they should either allow a one year lease or provide a furnished apartment for a monthly rent. Both facilities are nice, but, I couldn't justify writing a check every month for $5,000 or $6,500. I can afford it, but it just seems overpriced. I would suggest checking out Freedom Pointe, where you pay an entrance deposit that can be up to 90 percent refundable whenever you leave, you own the unit, and the monthly payment is lower. Also, they will allow you a year to sell your Villages house before you need to pay the entrance deposit. And, I think the food is a higher quality and they have an indoor pool.
