I would like to tell everyone what the Kane Center means to our family. My name is Deborah Hofmann. My husband Tim Hofmann has been going to the Kane Center for a long while now. He loves going and looks forward everyday to seeing his friends and the wonderful Staff. They have art lessons, brain teasers and puzzles, games, field trips, exercise sessions, he loves it all.

You should hear him talk about the food. Professional chefs prepare healthy, balanced, and a variety of hot lunches he loves to tell me about in detail every day. The impact the Kane Center has made on my husband is absolutely amazing. The once depressed, lost person is in the past. He is happy, more alert and outgoing. I can never repay the Kane Center but I will be their best cheerleader and tell everyone I know how wonderful we think they are. I thank God everyday for the Staff, and are so grateful they gave my husband back to me. I will be forever grateful.

There should be a Kane Center all over America with kind and helpful people working for them.  I like coming here and being with people. I have made friends here. I enjoy the exercises and the discussions and the games and music.  And, I like riding the bus and the art classes. Its a wonderful place to come to and I wish other people had a good place like I do.

My mom, Violet, is new to the Kane Center Adult Day Care Club. Mom is 96 yrs. old and has never played Bingo or done any art projects. To my surprise, mom came home with a designer hand bag she won playing Bingo, and she is bragging about a landscape scene she drew. I saw a picture of her art and I am very proud of what she has accomplished in her first attempt with crayons and an art brush.

Thanks to the staff of the Adult Day Care Club, for opening new doors for your club members, you have shown my mom that she still has a lot to live for and a lot more to do. Mom is happy and so am I. Thanks a million.

I am happy to be asked to talk about the Kane Day Club  For me personally it has saved my sanity.  I bring my husband there everyday knowing that he is safe, well attended, and best of all happy.  He is very willing to go each day. The program is varied enough to be interesting and yet routine enough to be secure for the clients. He has a great interest in music of any sort and there is lots of it at the center. It gives me time to do other tasks, take care of myself too and relieves a lot of the stress of 24/7 caregiving.
 
The best part of the Kane Day Club is the staff.  To a person they are interested in the clients.  They know each person and work with them in a positive way. It is obvious that they  care and like being there, you can see it in their faces, always a quick smile and kind word.
 
I asked my husband what he thought was best about the center. He gave me four words: community, focus, organization and belonging. WOW!

Three years ago my husband suffered a stroke that triggered vascular dementia.  I was immediately thrust into the role of full-time caregiver and provider.  Fortunately, the V.A. told us about the Kane Center's Adult Day Club.  What a treasure they have proven to be.  It's a remarkable patient-centered haven with a devoted staff.

Their personal attention and program of varied activities has helped my husband regain and maintain skills for daily living.  I have peace of mind while at work, knowing he is safe and being treated with kindness and respect.  I wouldn't be able to work full-timewithout this provision.  I can't say enough positive things about the Kane Center's Adult Day Club.  My husband and I would not have the quality of life we enjoy without them.  I'm truly grateful for each and every person at the Center.

I have come to the Club on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for a long time.  I wish to commend all the staff and volunteers for the wonderful job they are doing.  The staff is very friendly and helpful to all of us.  They make our visits a wonderful experience.  I have never heard a bad word spoken about any of the people who work there. We sometimes have a tendency to complain about things, but I have never heard a complaint about the Kane Center.  Keep up the excellent work!
