Because I've been playing whisper down the lane trying to interpret what my wife heard in her phone call, I called them myself to get the actual story of the current status for The Villages Health. This is what I was told:
For anyone with commercial insurance, they are "at capacity" and are not taking new patients, UNLESS you work for The Villages. If you have commercial insurance and are employed by The Villages, you can get in as a new patient. If you are 65 or older (i.e., medicare [or Advantage, I dunno]) then they have spaces for you. She indicated when new capacity under construction comes online, that MAY change and that I (or anyone) should check back at that time.
Apologies for adding to confusion before. This hopefully clarifies it a bit better.

That's what I figured. They do accept your insurance, however - their doctors are already at their maximum patient load and have to cut back on accepting new patients. This was a problem last year as well, and I'm pretty sure it's been a problem since the COVID pandemic in 2020.
