The Guild has a long history of dedicated support for the King Adult Day Enrichment Program (KADEP).  Today, Guild members host monthly birthday parties for KADEP patients, participate in special events, distribute holiday food baskets, and raise funds to provide scholarships for those who are uninsured or otherwise unable to afford the KADEP program.  To volunteer to help at KADEP parties and special events, please contact Ginny Mayers at 303.794.5969 or macorp@conmcast.net.

KADEP is a solution for daytime, quality care for individuals with multiple sclerosis. Some people who live with MS have difficulty functioning independently or may be isolated at home, which can lead to depression. Family members who work are often unable to help during the day, and are at a loss for quality daytime care for their loved ones. KADEP fills this critical gap. The program provides care and a robust assortment of activities designed to maintain or improve the functional status of participants, enhance wellness, and create opportunities to socialize and lead fully engaged and enjoyable lives. Ongoing field trips offer the chance to get out into the community. The KADEP facility is fully accessible and includes a gym, computer lab, craft rooms, a large kitchen and beautiful gardens where participants grow flowers, herbs and vegetables.

KADEP emphasizes the importance of maintaining independent community living. Individual care plans incorporate life skills and maximize self-sufficiency. Participants may choose from over 60 classes and activities that range from cooking, exercise classes, art, adaptive sports and camping trips, to museum outings and community events. Additional services include wellness monitoring, medication supervision, and assistance with personal care needs. The staff includes several certified therapeutic recreation specialists, LPNs, certified nurse’s assistants, exercise specialists, and a meal service staff. On-call neurology care is always available.
