Why buy it when you can out-create it? 👻

Our residents turned black canvases and plaster into a gallery of ghostly greatness—no tricks, just pure talent. 🎃💫

Art is all about perspective, and our Drawing It Your Way class proves it every week! ✏️💛

Residents are learning new techniques and discovering their own artistic styles under the guidance of our talented resident instructor, Marilyn. This week’s muse? A graceful flamingo! 🦩 The results were as vibrant and unique as the artists themselves.

Pressed flowers, paintbrushes, and a whole lot of joy. Residents created their own floral vases under the creative eye of Loretta, our floral expert, who shared her tips and tricks for the perfect fall arrangement. Every vase turned out as beautiful and bold as its maker.

Operation G.I. Joe was a mission of love and gratitude. Earlier this week, our very own Vietnam Veteran, Joe, embarked on the Lake County Honor Flight to Washington D.C.—and our community made sure he felt celebrated every step of the way. ❤️

Residents and team members secretly wrote 82 heartfelt letters for his Mail Call, and the Lake in the Hills/Algonquin Fire Department helped us give him an unforgettable early-morning send-off.

We couldn’t be prouder to have Joe, and so many incredible veterans—call The Oaks at Algonquin home. 💙

Runways aren’t just for Paris, they are for Algonquin too. ☂️💜 Our 4th Annual Artbrella Runway Show was an incredible success! Residents proudly strutted down our giant purple runway with their hand-painted Artbrellas while families cheered them on. Guests even took home some stunning umbrellas and wood-burned creations.

Most importantly, together we raised over $2,000 for the McHenry County Walk to End Alzheimer’s. It was a heartwarming morning filled with artistry, laughter, and the joy of seeing loved ones’ creativity on display, all while supporting a cause that matters deeply to us. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

🎤 The votes are in… the stage is set…

After weeks of creativity, thousands of voices joining the movement, and a campaign that turned art into advocacy… the moment has finally arrived.

The 2025 WINNER is… 🏆🎨

This year, every umbrella carried more than color — it carried the weight of awareness, of resilience, and of hope. And on this , we don’t just honor our champion… we honor every single person who helped us shine a light on Alzheimer’s across the nation. 💜

History ✔️ Excitement ✔️ Splash ✔️
Our yearly Lake Geneva cruise was pure adventure! Residents boarded the Walworth II, cheered on the fearless “mail jumpers,” and watched one end-of-season splash that had everyone laughing. 🌊 Afterward, we crossed the street for lunch at Popeyes. The perfect end to a perfect summer day. ☀️
