Keep in mind that Freedom Pointe (CCRC) and SumterPlace are the only places where Villages amenities are available. I assume that you're looking at assisted living here because you want those amenities. Note that SumterPlace will be building another assisted living at Buffalo Ridge.
AL is not cheap. You are paying for rent, 3 meals a day, activities, transportation, and some level of health care. As nice as SumterPlace is (and my parents lived there before moving to skilled nursing), you may find it restrictive. Call SumterPlace and talk to Cathy Jackshaw - she can give you a good estimate based on what level of care you need.
The step after assisted living is the tough one - skilled nursing is going to run $250-350/day each. And that is today's prices. Expect that to double (or more) in 10 years.
