Welcome to Sumter County, FL

Excellent information, and a very worthwhile service.

Also, if folks don't know, the Villages Community Watch offers a similar program, "Adult Watch", where checks are scheduled for so many days per week. The following, from the Community Watch brochure on the districtgov.com website:

This program is provided to residents who live alone or have a partner that needs someone to call
them for a well-being check. Residents choose the time of the call, as well as how many calls a
week they would like. The Community Watch Communications Center will call, if there is no
answer, they wait 5 minutes and call again. If there is still no answer, dispatch will send out a
patrol driver to check on the resident. At the same time local hospitals will be checked to see if
the resident has been admitted. If not a patient, and if the patrol driver is not able to locate the
resident. Dispatch will contact key holders or friends listed, to see if they know where the
resident is. If not, The Villages Public Safety Department and/or law enforcement will be
notified. To sign up, please visit the Customer Service Office at 984 Old Mill Run in Lake
Sumter Landing, the Customer Service North Satellite Office at 1200 Avenida Central in La
Hacienda, or the Customer Service Satellite Office at 4856 South Morse Boulevard. There is no
fee for this service. If you’d like to fill out the Registration Form prior to your visit, you can
download it from the following link: Adult Watch Form.
