Health care at our age is an important factor in determining where you want to retire. Hospitals in different locations other than TV, 30 minutes away can make a difference in a life and death situation. I have had many conversations with many residents that say their family doctors are in Ocala, Belleview, and even in Gainesville because they are not satisfied with the types of doctors in the Villages. I have read many complaints about the Villages Hospital on this Forum and it is a little scary to read. Lots of golf, lots of clubs, lots of restaurants, lots of bragging on lots of things to do in the Villages until you hear (or not hear) about the medical problems. I hope with the addition to the hospital will bring the waiting down to a reasonable time frame and good doctors to the area.

So, where is this eden that you decided to retire to?
