Default Disabled Adult Child w/ Retired Parents

We have a 33 yo son confined to a wheelchair. Currently he just sits all day with no friends to talk to and no one around except us. I'm sure he is tired of us. Yes, we do have things here in Atlanta, but it is 1 day monthly. We want to be able to take him in our golf cart everywhere, instead of loading up the h/c van, then try and find a large enough area to lower a ramp. A golf cart community is ideal.

We have sold our home and plan on buying somewhere in TV before the end of 24. I realize TV has the STAR program, but I'm wanting to reach more deeply. Looking at weekly gatherings, adult sitters for night outs, creating a group home, et cetera. Currently FL has 27k+ awaiting beds and it is not FIFO to a bed, so we are interested in having something daily or 2-3x weekly so they can enjoy life. If you are in a similar predicament or know of someone, please let me know.
