Grounds-flexible

Who We Are

Our History: In 1963, in the heart of Oshkosh, a special community took shape: Miravida Living, originally Lutheran Homes of Oshkosh. The journey began with a vision to create a senior living community overflowing with joy and avenues for fulfillment.

Our Campus: Miravida Living is home to a diverse array of living options, including 55+ Retirement Living at Carmel Residence and Simeanna Apartments; Assisted Living, Respite, and Memory Care at Gabriel’s Villa and Elijah’s Place; as well as Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation at Bethel Home, Eden Meadows, and our Green House Homes.

Our Commitments: We believe every stage of life should be lived to the fullest and have made a commitment to our elders, thoughtfully designing opportunities and initiatives that enrich the mind, body, and spirit of our community members through six key areas:

• Awaken: Faith and Reflection
• Connect: Social Engagement
• Contribute: Sharing and Mentoring

• Explore: Environment Experience
• Strengthen: Moving and Nourishing
