Chose Sumter Place for my mom instead of Steeplechase. I decided it was better to move her where I would not have to move her again when she needs more assistance, and she can get her minimal support she needs for showers right there. They also have a doctors clinic going in on site with lab and xray, physio and occupational therapy. The apartment itself she is getting is $600 more than Steeplechase, and smaller, but you always pay for the fact that nursing and extra staff are available at assisted living vs retirement home. You do add on costs for extra care of course but you pay more by the fact they are there. I also liked that the property is withing The Villages itself so we or I can go by golf cart to visit and take her for golf cart rides. We chose an apartment on the second floor overlooking the putt putt golf with a patio and a living room with fireplace right outside her apartment. The staff have been very nice to deal with. Unfortunately I cannot do a tour until I move her in this coming August, but I have heard from many reliable sources it is a gorgeous building. If you want a one bedroom they start at $4500. My mom got a larger studio.
