Do you have a golf cart and able to drive it? You're not too far from Freedom Pointe.

My problem is Low Vision. This time last year I was able to drive anywhere, macular has stolen my vision! I have made enquiries about golf cart, but am advised that even with good insurance if I was involved in an accident I could be sued for everything due to my disability!

Default Try an agency like visiting angles

My mom uses visiting angles for rides. There are other ones like this one too. If you need it they could also help with other things you may need help with in your home.

Medicare may even help pay for it since you have a vision problem.

Some insurance has transportation as a benefit. Check into your insurance.

Does the local Council on Aging provide transportation? Many do and for a reasonable fee. The only trick is that the destination has to be in the same county. They don't transport across county lines.

The name of the owner is Penny Trogden. That is one of the many things she does is Senior support services and also does transportation to and from airports.

I never coul understand how people think that if you can’t drive anymore , that a golf cart is okay to use . I think in most cases if the person couldn’t drive anymore a golf cart isn’t going to be much safer to use

Not many Uber drivers in this area, download the Lyft app it works the same as Uber but many more drivers...
