Trishaw Tails and Trails

Shorehaven Fitness Center manager Kira Grosenick and resident Al Caucutt described the trishaw program, where staff and volunteers take memory and skilled care, assisted and independent living residents out for rides about town, stop for coffee or ice-cream, research old and new neighborhoods and catch up with family members in communal areas. Grosenick is seeking volunteer drivers for next year. During COVID-19 restrictions, the trishaw provided a safe means to reconnect with communities and families. The vehicle trips provide mental stimulation, conversation starters, nature encounters, a chance to see playgrounds, gardens, downtown businesses and old haunts, and Grosenick thanked Rotary for providing Foundation funds to purchase the organization’s first trishaw. “This trishaw extends our life at Shorehaven,” said Caucutt.

Bike Tour a Success
