relief for caregivers
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, 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.
One-On-One Support
For children who are in need of support on a more individual level, we offer a one-on-one programming. During their session, your child can enjoy a variety of activities that interest them inside or outside the home, such as:
- Play games
- Read
- Swim at a local pool
- Go for a walk
- Visit the library
Respite Day Camp
If your child enjoys engaging with a group, our ‘day camp’ style format may be a good fit. 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
