[quote=Anonymous]My once VERY active and social butterfly mother had a stroke a few years ago that has left her unable to drive.  She has limited mobility on the left side of her body but fortunately, didn't have any cognitive side effects with the stroke. Unfortunately, my mom was used to just hopping in her car to go shopping, out to lunch, etc. She literally never sat still.  During the summer my dad takes her down to their beach house quite a bit and she enjoys spending time on the porch talking with neighbors.  I know it's her happy place and she told me recently that she's dreading coming back home to Gaithersburg because in the winter, she doesn't get out much.  My dad is still working as a consultant, so she spends a lot of the day just on the sofa watching tv while he works. I feel like this has had a terrible effect on her mental health and I'm looking for things that she can get involved in that might occupy her mind.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any organizations in the Gaithersburg/N. Potomac areas that provide seniors/handicapped individuals transportation to and from planned activities?  I appreciate any leads.[/quote]
