Winter Walk for Wellness at Family Alliance, Woodstock IL
3 Dec
Winter Walk for Wellness
During the month of January the clients and staff at Family Alliance will participate in our first annual “Winter Walk for Wellness.” Help us start the new year off right by promoting wellness through walking. Clients and staff alike will reap the health benefits.
Each week day (21 days) the clients and staff will walk for quarters. One outdoor lap around our facility, or four indoor laps, will raise $0.25 for the agency. The money raised in this event will go towards our Beyond Recovery Program for clients whose state funding is discontinued after ten sessions with our clinicians. The money will provide scholarship assistance for these clients to attend our REACH day program and remain active with our agency, to help avoid relapse and hospitalization.
We are looking for sponsors for participating clients and staff. To make a pledge please call 815.338.3590 or donate here.
Recommended Pledge
$1/day = $21
$2/day = $42
$5/day = $105
FAMILY ALLIANCE SERVES THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY

FAMILY ALLIANCE SERVES THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY
WOODSTOCK, IL – Calling retired Vets! Family Alliance accepts Veteran’s Administration (VA) benefits for retired vets attending day programs; nearly 30% of Family Alliance clients are veterans. Juliana Krupka, Day Program Nurse Manager says, “Our services give Veterans opportunities to participate in mental, physical and social activities that they may not get at home. Bonding with others who have served in the military helps veterans improve their memory, and feel the camaraderie of fellow servicemen.” Family Alliance is having a special Veteran’s Day celebration to appreciate those who have given their service to our country.
If a retired veteran qualifies, the VA helps subsidize the cost of attending the Family Alliance program. Veterans are generally approved for 2-3 days a week, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. Included in the program are breakfast, lunch and door-to-door transportation (to McHenry County residents and Del Webb residents in Kane County). There are two main day programs for mature adults at Family Alliance. The REACH program serves active adults who seek socialization and structure. The Dementia Specific Day Program helps individuals with various types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease remain active in their community and in their homes for a longer period of time.
Family Alliance is a not-for-profit organization founded 29 years ago as a program enabling mature adults to remain at home and active in their community. Programs include: Wellness Day Programs and Dementia Day Programs with door-to-door transportation, Recovery/Mental Health Services, Caregiver Support Groups, Counseling and Community Support.

FAMILY ALLIANCE CELEBRATES HALLOWEEN!!!!
28 Oct
WOODSTOCK – Family Alliance clients enjoy celebrating Halloween in ways that they may not do if they were alone in their homes. Creating scarecrows, pumpkin decorating, and a best costume contest are only a few of the ways the mature adults celebrate. “It gives the clients a chance to share their own traditions and cultures with others. It also provides an opportunity to laugh, and be creative, instead of sitting at home watching television,” says Erica Hannett, a Certified Nurses Aide at Family Alliance, Inc.
Active adults can celebrate Halloween with peers through numerous Halloween games offered all week prior to the holiday. Participants are already thinking about and creating their Halloween costumes in preparation for the Halloween Party, to be held at Family Alliance on Friday, October 29. The pumpkins will be judged for best decorated pumpkin. Staff and clients both participate in the Best Costume contest, an annual favorite of staff. Regarding all the festivities, Hannett says about the clients, “It reminds them that they don’t have to be so serious all the time. They can let loose and be uninhibited with their peers.”
Family Alliance is a not-for-profit organization founded 29 years ago as a program enabling mature adults to remain at home and active in their community. Programs include: Wellness Day Programs and Dementia Day Programs with door-to-door transportation, Recovery/Mental Health Services, Counseling and Community Support.
