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.

I think "sub-par" is charitable.
Compared with the Northeast (& other areas of the country, I'm sure), the available healthcare in TV is abysmal. You need to go to Tampa, Orlando or Jacksonville, just to get to average.
