TV is an "Active Retirement Community" ... once the "active" part becomes challenging, it's time to get out of Dodge.

You bring up a good point to ponder for those of us who are “planners”. I’m a fairly younger retiree in my early 60’s. I chose The Villages after carefully visiting and investigating many 55+ Communities throughout the US, based on how active the lifestyle is. However, as you mention, the health care situation here is sub-par where you compare to other regions of the country.
So the question - Is The Villages the optimal place to reside when one is in their 80s, no longer as active as they were in their 60s, and in need of constant and continual medical care? And if not, do you plan to remain here and make the best of it, or relocate to another state with more superior health care? Something to think about it.
