KANDU Cares offers caregivers respite from the challenges of providing care for children with disabilities.
kandu cares
Designed to provide caregivers with respite from the challenges of providing hands-on care for children with physical and/or intellectual disabilities during the summer months, KANDU Cares allows caregivers an opportunity to take care of their own physical and mental health, spend time with other family members or just enjoy a few hours to rest or manage other daily living responsibilities. You’ll rest easy knowing that your child is engaging in activities that interest them all while under the supervision of our experienced staff.
Respite Day Camp
Participants will spend the day with their peers, exploring the community and doing activities that foster growth and learning, including
- Fishing
- Explore a museum
- Go to the zoo
- Bowling
- See a movie
- Visit a local park

Every Friday, Julie—our incredible Client Services Director—leads a singalong with participants in KANDU's Adult Day Services and Memory Care program, filling the room with smiles, music, and fun.
These moments might seem simple, but they’re powerful. Singing together lights up ...memories, lifts spirits, and creates joy for our clients living with dementia and other cognitive challenges.
At KANDU, we believe in the power of community and compassion—and sometimes, a favorite old tune is all it takes to bring both to life. 💛
A heartfelt thank you to the family member of one of our amazing staff for donating art supplies to our ISP program! 🎨💛 Creative expression plays a powerful role in our clients’ growth and joy, and this thoughtful gift will be put to great use.
ISP, Minds in Motion, and Livin' and Learnin' clients visited the Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens in Rockford to see the Secret Life of Butterflies exhibit. They learned about the lifecycle of butterflies and got an up-close look at these amazing insects in their own habitat.

ISP is a program that offers shorter work days combined with activity time for clients who are transitioning to a day services or return-to-work program. Program activities are thoughtfully designed for work skill development. You can learn more about KANDU's programs here: www.kanduindustries.com
There’s something magical about music—especially when it fills a room with laughter, movement, and joy. Clients in KANDU's Adult Day Services & Memory Care program sang their hearts out during karaoke yesterday, and we had a blast!
For older adults, especially those living ...with dementia, music isn’t just fun—it’s therapeutic. It sparks memories, encourages social connection, and boosts emotional well-being in ways few other activities can.
At KANDU, we believe every day should feel meaningful. In our Adult Day Services and Memory Care program, clients are treated like family in a safe, accessible, home-like environment. With support from our trained professionals, they enjoy enriching activities, personalized care, and the kind of connection that brings dignity and joy to every moment.
Looking for compassionate daytime care for your loved one? We’re here to help. 💛

Livin' and Learnin' and Minds in Motion took an Adaptive Taekwondo class at the YMCA of Northern Rock County today! Taekwondo is a Korean martial art sport involving kicking and punching techniques. Clients loved showing their competitive side and learning something new!
