Gaithersburg is in the central part of Montgomery County, Maryland, a short distance outside of the nation’s capital. Montgomery County’s senior-friendliness has earned it a spot in the AARP Age-Friendly Network. For its part, Gaithersburg has several thousand businesses, giving plentiful opportunities for seniors to shop and eat out. The region around Gaithersburg boasts multiple hospitals, headlined by the Holy Cross Germantown Hospital and the Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center. There is also a Holy Cross facility focused on primary care in Gaithersburg proper. Gaithersburg has just under 70,000 residents, and 12.7% of them are seniors 65 years of age or above.
