PROVIDING SPECIALIZED AND COMPASSIONATE MEMORY CARE

We understand the worry, stress, and anxiety that comes with taking care of a family member with disabilities or memory impairments. We also know the significant investment of time that is required. That’s where KANDU comes in. We help alleviate those stresses with an activities-oriented adult day and memory care program that allows your loved one to improve their physical, mental and social wellbeing and give you peace of mind that they are in good hands.

IMPROVING SOCIAL WELLBEING

“The KANDU day service program is a vital program for the community, caregivers and the person affected by memory loss. The trained staff provide scheduled cognitive and physical activities that enhance quality of life in a safe and relaxed environment.”

— Tammy Pence, Alzheimer’s Support Center

AND THERE’S MORE…

Clients can spend the day with a group of peers in a comfortable home-like setting where they build independence and self-esteem in a nurturing and secure environment while providing their caregivers with the important respite they need. Family members have their minds put at ease knowing our experienced staff is focused solely on the needs of their loved ones. Programming is tailored to each participant’s individual abilities and the KANDU staff — which includes a nurse and team of certified nursing assistants — fosters a community that feels more like a family than a facility.

Not only does KANDU staff assist with all day-to-day needs, including meal preparation, toileting, medication administration, and mobility, they strive to create a family-like atmosphere that is fun and engaging.

Your loved one will revel in many of our engaging activites, such as:

  • Arts and crafts
  • Community outings and day trips
  • Cooking and meal preparation
  • Games
  • Holiday parties and themed celebrations
  • Movies and reading time
  • Music
  • Shopping
  • Socialization and friendship building

KANDU’s Adult Day and Memory Care Program is available Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., except on major holidays.

ISP clients took a trip down to Rockford to explore the Burpee Museum of Natural History. The Burpee Museum has an internationally known paleontology department featuring the most complete and best-preserved juvenile T. Rex ever discovered! Clients got to explore natural history exhibits with ...exciting interactive experiences like touching the fur of a polar bear and fox and identifying real fossils. 🦖

"Communication is important for everyone, especially ease of communication. For some, this ease is more difficult to achieve, even with the assistance of software designed to help users communicate. Standard AAC—augmentative and alternative communication—software is a tool that’s ...supposed to help people with communication disabilities, but it’s often unable to meet users where they’re at, causing frustration and slowing the process of something essential to humanity."
