There is lot of hype about the Villages. One of the most disappointing lies i fell for is the slogan ""The Villages America’s Healthiest Hometown"",
I went to the ER at that beautiful hospital on Rte 441, called ""The Villages Regional Hospital"". It was not a good experience. Slow, inept, and unmotivated is the best way to describe my experience. I was finally diagnosed with a Kidney Stone, I was in a lot of pain, and got no pain meds for 3 hours. It did not appear to be very busy, so i don't know what the delay was. Just read the attached post to see other opinions of the Health Care System here in the Villages..........it is NOT a "SYSTEM".

I can’t imagine too many places where someone would let a stranger live in their home while their home was rebuilt after after a fire, but I know that has happened here. We give to each other, to charities, to strangers. We volunteer and donate. We don’t say no when someone needs a helping hand.

Worst is the people and their pettiness and small-mindedness, especially when it comes to politics. I’ve heard people say incredibly rude and unkind things to those who don’t agree with them. NIMBY is, sadly, a way of life here. Many are too quick to condemn and belittle those that are different.

TOTV is a prime example of both. You can see the best of people on main threads, especially Helping Hands. You can see the worst on comments about snowbirds and bad drivers. You can see the absolute worst in the Political Threads.
