Do you know the difference between service animals and emotional support animals? While both offer valuable benefits, they serve different purposes.

Following established guidelines helps ensure that both locations and individuals meet the needs of those who rely on these special companions.

This week, our amazing kids took part in a special "Chalk the Walk" event in front of the building, spreading smiles and raising awareness for Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. They also helped decorate the entrance with a pinwheel for each individual in our care.

Another incredible outing for some well-deserving residents!

Recently, they enjoyed a memorable adventure at Kankakee Sands Preserve, where they connected with knowledgeable staff and explored fascinating items, including a real bison hide, bison bones and more.

They also learned that Kankakee Sands was once the largest lake in Indiana before being drained into the Kankakee River. Today, it’s a thriving nature conservatory, home to a growing herd of buffalo and, most recently, endangered Franklin’s ground squirrels.

What a day of discovery and connection with nature! 🦬🌾
