Independent Living Interviews

"Some people think getting older means slowing down. But living at The Villages, we're having more fun than ever."

“Our days are always busy, taking walks through the gardens and visiting with our neighbors. With Abbie by my side, I know I’m truly at home.”

“I feel younger and more energized in the pool. And the people who surround me…they’re not that old after all.”

“I knew I would never be bored. They even had dances, and I love to dance. I’ve danced my whole life!”

“I was a bit scared at first that it would be hard to make friends and that I wouldn’t have many musical outlets. But I was wrong on both counts.”

"I don't think I have a typical day, there's so much going on. There's so many activities, and so many choices, and so many people that you enjoy being with. I don't really have a regular schedule. I do what I choose to do."

“Our whole staff and all of the people that work here are just super. They are great. They're really happy and they make us happy.”

"We have every reason to want to enjoy life while we still can. Don't wait until you don't have the time to be happy at a place like this."
