TV Hospital is currently still holding a one star CMS rating.

Well first off, it isn't The Villages Hospital anymore. In fact, it's had TWO name changes since it was TVH. So it's very possible that your data is outdated.
As of this past year, it received a C rating on Healthgrades, with patient experience being over 20% lower than the National Average. But it also rates as expected for 11 other criteria, and better than expected for 2 criteria. It's also won awards for prostate care.
Their emergency room is horrible. But so are most emergency rooms.
In addition, the hospital isn't the entirety of "health care" in or around The Villages. First, it's not the only hospital. There's Leesburg, down 441/27. And then there's Shands and Gainesville to the north.
There are literally DOZENS of medical practices with golf cart access to Villagers. It might even be hundreds, but I got bored counting the red pins on my google map search result after I hit 25. Multiple specialties, from dermatologists to proctologists, cancer centers and oncologists, cardiologists, a couple of places that specialize exclusively in colonoscopies, foot doctors, orthopedists, senior stuff, memory care, and everything inbetween. Multiples of each. Within those multiple dozens (or possibly hundreds) you're likely to find at least one of each that's awesome.
