Available Programs

For over thirty years, Family Alliance has served adults aged 50 and better throughout McHenry County and the surrounding area, who are experiencing mental, physical, emotional, or social challenges.

We are home to THREE distinct programs:

  • The REACH Wellness program is an active adult wellness program provided 5 days per week and designed to meet the needs of persons who require more structure, may be socially isolated and at risk for depression, or in need of some physical assistance.

  • The REACH Memory Care program is similar to the REACH Wellness program, but for persons experiencing memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. The program includes an on-site day program (offered 5 days per week), in-home assessments, and care partner education.

  • The Mental Health Recovery program provides mental health services that includes individual therapy and counseling, psycho-social rehab groups, community support, and case management both on site and in the individual's home.

In addition to our program options, we provide on-site access to services that includes geriatric psychiatry, chiropractic medicine, and massage therapy. To best address the needs of those we serve, Family Alliance is committed to continued program growth.

Family Alliance services are provided by a highly-trained multidisciplinary team that includes Registered Nurses, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Certified Nursing Assistants, Activity Specialists, and Community Support Specialists.

We are accredited by the Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. In 2011, Family Alliance received the National Adult Day Center Award from NADSA (National Adult Day Services Association).
