How would limiting the number of new nursing home facilities help to hold down Medicare costs?

You know, The Morses built a post office for the villages to have and the USPS still refused to let that happen. The building is what is currently the woodworking shop for the villagers. Its intended purpose was originally a post office, and it was built and paid for by the developer.

Why would you care what someone who lives elsewhere thinks about where you live?
If I decided to say that I don't like people in some particular town, I certainly can't imagine that they would even know, much less care. Some people just decide they don't like someone or someplace when they don't know them or have never been there.
There will always be judgemental, negative people around. Usually it means they are unhappy with themselves or their lot in life.
Unfortunately, there are a few on this site, and they have a hard time with the happiness others feel. Maybe they have reasons for that.

I'm designing one now!!! that I'm stuck sitting around.

It will generate heat to the affected area increase blood flow and get the endorphins cooking.


We would like to do that. I'll run (well limp) over anytime.

Ps: I guess I should have reversed the order of the two articles?????

Wow! It's amazing how follow-up posts get spun out of control and away from the original statement. I had to take a dose of Dramamine for motion sickness. If there was a deal made giving a developer or other entity an advantage over a law that was enacted to apply to ALL entities in the state, then it is wrong whether you like the developer or not. The Villages is NOT the only age restricted community in the state no matter what the population and it is certainly not confined to a small area as a previous post intimated (it effects 3 different counties). I'm sure other communities who have senior populations would love to have similar facilities within their gates but can't. I don't recall earlier posts having claimed that "most" or "all" non-Villagers hate us but I personally have heard comments from other area senior developments that are far from complimentary, some a few years before we moved here.
Thank you Gracie Girl. I don't often agree with your posts but I like your approach on this one.

I just read back over all of your posts to get a sense of what it is that you find important and how you feel about other issues.

I still don't know, but it is kind of you to agree this time. I will try to do better.

I was absent on the board for quite a while until earlier this week. In addition to this topic I posted strong opinions on golf course conditions. Sorry to cause you the research time.

Agreeing with the political method or not.... I can't imagine anyone with a stake in TV being disappointed about it.

Think about what happens if you have the need and the service is not available.

Besides, if you look at the demographics of TV and the 3 counties. It is a statistical outlier in terms of the 65 and older age band compared to the size of the general population. By any normal measure, the TV area is probably due more Nursing home capacity. The state would want imbalances pointed out proactively rather than wait till there is a crisis.
