Miravida Living Hosting Cycling Without Age American Summit 2018 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
In 2015, Miravida Living was the first elder care service provider in the U.S. to start a Cycling Without Age program. The program was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark by Ole Kassow who wanted to help elders get back on their bicycles and spend more time outdoors. Understanding some of these individuals may have limited mobility, he introduced rickshaws. Today, Miravida Living, has a fleet of seven rickshaws allowing residents abundant opportunities to spend more time outdoors touring the community and sharing stories with volunteer pilots, all while feeling the wind in their hair.
Aging And Elder Care On Your Own Terms
Getting older can seem intimidating, but it’s easier and more enjoyable when you think about it as an opportunity for new, wonderful and unique experiences. Our mission is to create an environment where people celebrate the wonder, beauty and perspective of life that comes from aging on their own terms. Aging is the beginning of a wonderful time in one’s life, a chance for new adventures, experiences and opportunities to unleash creativity.
