What Sumter County needs is a Long Term Care facility of high quality nursing care for those that can't afford LTC. It was sad when I was working for Freedom Pointe seeing many Villagers who lost their insurance, dropped their insurance, never secured their insurance or for whatever reason could not afford the expensive cost of LTC. These were also parents of Villagers brought down here to live with relatives- just to realize they couldn't take on the task due to parental health declining.
The patients families would spend days searching for LTC facility with (no smells, clean environment, safety of residents)--only to find they almost all had waiting list. Sad to say- but the need is LTC facility in Sumter County with (Village beauty and quality) that take Medicaid who can assist our Villagers and families.
