Kancare's Social Work Department continued its commitment to nurturing the next generation of social work professionals by hosting interns as part of a structured and meaningful internship training program in June 2026. The internship provided students with valuable hands-on exposure to the field of geriatric social work, allowing them to observe, learn, and actively participate in the day-to-day activities of the department. A key highlight of the program was the direct engagement of interns with residents—an experience that gave them a deeper understanding of the emotional, social, and psychological needs of the elderly.
The program was further enriched by an insightful special session conducted by Dr. Sooraj, whose expertise and knowledge provided interns with a strong academic foundation to complement their practical learning. The session was well-received and proved to be an invaluable addition to their training experience. Through this internship, Kancare continues to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world practice, equipping future social work professionals with the skills, sensitivity, and compassion needed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the elderly. Such initiatives reaffirm Kancare's commitment to nurturing socially responsible professionals who are prepared to serve vulnerable communities with empathy and dedication.

At Kancare, every birthday is a special occasion—a moment to pause, celebrate, and honour the beautiful lives of our beloved residents. The birthday celebrations were marked with great warmth and joy, bringing together residents, staff, and family members for a memorable occasion filled with laughter, love, and festivity. The festivities included cake cutting, heartfelt wishes, and cheerful singing, creating an atmosphere of happiness and togetherness that truly reflected the family spirit of Kancare. Each smile and shared moment served as a gentle reminder that our residents are cherished not just as individuals in our care, but as treasured members of the Kancare family. Such celebrations continue to strengthen the bonds of love, respect, and belonging that make Kancare a true home away from home. The smiles on the faces of our residents were a testament to how much these celebrations mean—not just as a recognition of another year, but as an affirmation that every life is precious and worth celebrating. At Kancare, we believe that our residents deserve to feel special, cherished, and surrounded by love—not just on their birthdays, but every single day. These celebrations are a beautiful expression of our commitment to their emotional well-being, dignity, and happiness. Here's to many more years of joy, good health, and wonderful memories—because at Kancare, every day is worth celebrating! Moments like these remind us why we do what we do, and why the bond between our residents and caregivers grows stronger with each passing year. At Kancare, love isn't just a value we speak of—it's a promise we live out every single day. With every celebration, we are reminded that ageing is not something to be feared, but a journey to be honoured with dignity and grace.

As part of Kancare's unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of resident care, regular training sessions are being conducted for nurses and caregivers on various Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) related to geriatric caregiving.
These sessions are held every Monday at the Kangarappady Center and every Wednesday at the Kakkanad Center, creating a consistent rhythm of professional development that keeps our care teams sharp, updated, and motivated.
The training focuses on strengthening knowledge and improving caregiving practices across key areas, including resident safety, daily care procedures, communication, documentation, and best practices in elderly care—all aimed at ensuring consistent, compassionate quality care for our residents. Led by Mrs. Krishna Susheela (Tutor), whose practical insights and expert guidance continue to inspire participants, the sessions have fostered a culture of continuous learning across departments. At Kancare, we understand that excellence in elder care is not a destination but a continuous journey—and our teams walk that journey together, week after week. Together, we remain committed to growing, learning, and caring—always with our residents at the heart of everything we do.
