What Does I.C.A.R.E. Mean at KenCCID? 💙The Values Behind Our Mission, The People Behind Our Purpose

At KenCCID, our work has always been about more than providing support — it is about building relationships, creating opportunities, and empowering individuals to live meaningful lives filled with dignity, choices, and possibility.

Every day, our team walks alongside individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them pursue their goals, make their own choices, and be active members of their communities.

At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to I.C.A.R.E.

💙 I — Impact

Every interaction matters. Every moment of support creates an opportunity to make a positive difference in someone’s life. From helping someone achieve a personal goal to celebrating everyday accomplishments, our impact is measured through the lives we touch.

💙 C — Compassion

Compassion means seeing the person first. It means listening, understanding, and providing support with kindness, patience, and respect.

💙 A — Accountability

We hold ourselves responsible for the trust placed in us by the individuals we support, their families, our employees, and our community. We do what we say we will do and continue striving for excellence.

💙 R — Respect

Every individual has their own dreams, choices, abilities, and story. We honor each person’s voice and recognize their right to be valued, included, and respected.

💙 E — Empowerment

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, make choices, discover their abilities, and reach their fullest potential.

Behind every letter of I.C.A.R.E. is a person.

Behind every person is a story.

Behind every story is a community that believes in possibilities.

This is KenCCID.

A community where individuals are supported, valued, respected, and empowered to live the life they choose.

KenCCID strives to promote dignity and choices to empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to reach their full potential.
