If you have an Advantage Medicare plan and want to,use the Villages Health Care System, you may want to change to Preferred Care Partners. It is the only Advantage plan they accept.

With all the questions you have, it sounds like the suggestion of renting for about 6 months is a good idea. In that time period, you could tell if The Villages is the best fit for you.

That would be one option. We moved here from Tampa and made frequent day trips, rented a golf cart and explored. Those were fun days. Had a great time.
