Minds in Motion is KANDU’s newest community-based day habilitation program, designed to help seniors improve self-help, adaptive skills, and independence.

It can be difficult for primary caregivers to provide the social interactions their elderly loved ones need to truly thrive, mainly due to barriers including costs, lack of resources, the ability to physically support them, and transportation. KANDU’s Minds in Motion program provides opportunities for aging adults to increase physical movement, maintain cognitive abilities, and create social relationships, all leading to better mental and physical health outcomes. KANDU’s model of care is activity-based rather than medical. Our client service team works cooperatively with each participant and their support system to assess individual needs and develop team based activities designed to reach specific goals.
You or your loved one will spend 80% of the time with KANDU engaged in community activities like:
- Park and trail exploration
- Civic centers, libraries & recreational facilities
- Shopping
- Volunteering
- Dining
- Movies
- And more

We’re raising a glass to our newest partner, The Fireside Theatre for donating their empty wine bottles to KANDU’s repurposed glassware project!
These bottles are being transformed into beautiful, handcrafted drinking glasses by participants in our job training program — helping ...create meaningful work while reducing waste.
With the support of amazing local businesses like The Fireside, we’re able to keep our Monday and Thursday bottle pickup route going strong!
If your business has empty wine bottles to share, give us a call at (608) 755-4123. Let’s turn today’s recycling into tomorrow’s opportunity.
A magical moment as clients from KANDU's Increased Support Program released butterflies—celebrating beauty, freedom, and joy. 🦋💚

Clients in our ISP program have been getting creative with diamond art — a relaxing, hands-on activity that encourages focus, patience, and self-expression. Check out the creativity of our clients! Each masterpiece is a reflection of their unique style.
🌸 Spring is in full bloom at KANDU! Clients in our Adult Day Services and Memory Care program spent the day creating beautiful floral arrangements — celebrating the season with color, creativity, and joy.
This hands-on activity isn’t just fun — it also helps clients practice fine ...motor skills and express their unique artistic flair. Every arrangement tells a story, and we’re loving the blooms (and smiles) that are blossoming around here!
