Default Need ride to visit stroke victim

Hi, My mother had a stroke several weeks ago and is doing pretty well, considering the severity. I was able to stay a few weeks with her and then needed to return to work in another state. My Dad is 84 , lives in The Villages and doesn't drive. My mom is in Lake Harris Health Center in Leesburg. My Dad planned on taking the bus from Spanish Springs to Leesburg. It is ok going there but is way long on the way home and it doesn't seem like it will work without affecting his health.

I am looking for any private or organization services that can help getting my Dad to and from visiting my Mom. Or, maybe just getting him back as the trip there is not that bad. She does best when family visits daily. We will pay and also have a car that can be used.

My Mom moved from Marco Island where she used to transport people in similar situations and received several "Kindness Awards" for this. I am hoping that I can find something that will work now for her.

Please let me know if you have any ideas or can help.

Thanks so much.

Leslie
