Assisted livings provide meals, caregivers, activities, entertainment, friendship, transportation, rehabilitation, medication management, and memory care. We are also a community of mostly seniors and assisted livings will allow us to remain living in The Villages when the time comes when we can no longer manage on our own for whatever reason, but want to stay in The Villages. The Assisted Livings in The Villages are not big box stores. They are beautiful communities which provide loving care to those who live there and offer an ambience and safety net that families can feel good about and residents can feel at home in. Additionally, Assisted Livings create jobs and contribute to the local community. I think they add options and opportunity to the area on many levels.

Thank you. It seems some of the unhappy.ones will take any piece of information to attack the Develooer...It amazes can anyone so fortunate to live in this beautiful environment created by thrpe Morse Family can be unhappy. It is sad that we do not see all thr beauty and beautiful around us. Thank God it is a small minority.
