During our flurry of December celebrations, we recognized our 2025 Peter John Loux Award Winner: Heidi Burke from Shawnee, KS!🎉

Behind the scenes at our Wheelchair Clinic is a quiet lifeline: our donated equipment space.

When a wheelchair or a piece of mobility equipment is donated to CPRF, our technicians clean and sanitize usable components and salvage functional parts to give to clients who need help right now.

We use this equipment to:
✅ build and maintain loaner chairs for clients whose wheelchairs are being repaired, awaiting parts, or pending insurance
✅ replace critical components that insurance won’t cover

Why it matters: We do this to keep client costs low, reduce gaps in care, and help Kansans stay safe, mobile, and supported.

'Tis the season for (more) cookies! ❤️💚
This week, our Adult Day Services program decorated (and taste-tested) sugar cookies in their kitchen. Hand-over-hand activities like these are important for strengthening motor skills and building muscle memory. Sweet treats with a real impact!

Independent living isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially for young adults with disabilities.

For many young adults—and their families—living on their own can bring extra questions, concerns, and challenges. The Guided Independent Living Assessment (GILA) program offers a safe, supportive space to explore and assess daily living skills while building confidence. Over six weeks at The Timbers, CPRF’s accessible apartment community, participants work on cooking, budgeting, cleaning, and more—all through lived experience.

📅 Join us for an open house next week! Tour a GILA apartment, meet our staff, and learn how this unique program might be the right next step for you or someone you know.
