I understand that it's a promotional video so that's probably the answer.
My Mom has agreed to "Visit" us on Saturday for a couple of weeks and I was hoping to get some suggestions as to what we could do to convince her to stay. My wife and I just moved in last week so we haven't had the time to research. We're busy getting rid of another half of half of our stuff......

Thanks!
I think a two week visit will be long enough for your Mom to make a decision relative to her concerns. Take her out to dinner in local restaurants. She will see a lot of people enjoying themselves in spite of serious handicaps.

Good luck and welcome to The Villages.
