Really sad to think of those living here in this portrayed picture perfect friendliest hometown and see them struggle while no consideration is shown or provided! The Villages ought to be Ashamed & Embarrassed by this!!!

Well give yourself a pat on the back. And while you're at it add some complaining about others to raise your pedestal a little higher.

COVID-19, social distancing and proper mask usage in public places has been in the news for months!

It IS NOT “The Villages” responsibility to provide masks for people who are to lazy to comply.

In addition, if every place had reserve masks on hand, people would never remember and would sponge off the shops, offices, and resturants. It is not their responsibility, it is ours.....all of ours. Carry extra masks in your car and golf cart....then if you see someone who actually forgot, you can be that generous and helpful Villager and give them one of yours.

I keep a pack of disposable masks in the car and golf cart. How did she get to the building? Assume she drove.

This nice Elderly lady was not protesting anything! She genuinely forgot her mask. She attempted to use a tissue.. not permitted. All she wanted to do was get to the 2nd floor to hopefully locate her husband at his appt. No one was expecting or asking or wanting it to be Assisted Living.
Bravo to you for keeping a pack of disposable masks in your car & golf cart.. obviously this nice lady doesn’t and she needed one!
I didn’t ask her if she drove....what is your point regarding that? She stated she had dropped her husband at the front door.. when I encountered her, she was struggling, had walked using her walker from a distant parking spot. Like I stated, no compassion!

Unfortunately you did not include this information in your original post, it changes everything and I am sure you would not have received negative posts had we been aware of what she was going through.

I, too, know what it is like to search the area for a parking spot and then have to slog over to the Sharon in the heat and I do it on two good legs, not a walker. She was indeed treated shabbily.

You are to be commended for your concern. Reminds me of the Good Samaritan story in the Bible.
