Seniors at Care Facility Climb Aboard at Harley Days

Providence Marianwood in Issaquah held the first of this year’s two “Harley Days” on April 27. For the eleventh year in a row, the Eastside Harley Owner’s Group (HOGS) came again to give rides to the residents. Although the weather didn’t cooperate, the residents still had fun.

“It’s an opportunity to see something very unique going on in our community as residents, most of whom are in their 80s, 90s, and even a few in their 100s, are hoisted from their wheelchairs onto the Harleys and taken for a ride,” said Arlene Carter, Director of the Providence Marianwood Foundation. The heavy downpour canceled the rides this year, but residents still posed by the Harley’s or got on board. They are looking forward to riding at the next Harley Days event on September 28.

Providence Marianwood offers skilled nursing, rehab, and transitional care services. For information, call 425- 391-2800.
