Annual Aging Better
Expo
The Annual Aging Better Expo is held annually in August. The 2022 Expo was held on August 31st and was the best one we've held yet! We had over 500 attendees at the Triphahn Center in Hoffman Estates. Sponsors educate the attendees on local products,
services, and benefits at their individual tables. Elderwerks provides multiple
education seminars throughout the day. Adult children and seniors enjoy an
informative event, connect with sponsors and everyone is treated to morning
pastries, lunch and fun prizes. Please view the details and application here. We will add the 2023 Expo soon.
Professional Continuing Education
Elderwerks offers continuing education units (CEUs) for nurses, social workers, professional counselors, and nursing home administrators. Our classes remain strong during these difficult times with over 300 presentations annually. We offer partners the opportunity to present a topic on their area of expertise. Sponsors introduce their organization at live or virtual events. Sponsors logos are included on all marketing materials.
McHenry Dementia Conference
The 2022 Annual McHenry Dementia Conference takes place on October 26th at the McHenry Country Club.

Stepping Out to Fitness
A fun, beneficial
program offering older adults and seniors the opportunity to stay fit and join
the “Elderwerks Challenge”. Following registration, participants receive a
t-shirt and daily log. They join the fun and perform daily
exercises, record their efforts, and turn in their monthly log for a chance to
win a prize. Participants who complete the quarterly log (three months) are
entered into the Grand Prize Drawing for an Apple Watch or flat screen TV.
Currently, this program lasts six months and occurs twice a year. Sponsors logos are included on the
t-shirts, Stepping Out for Fitness newsletter, the monthly log, and on social media. Sign up here to sponsor. Interested in other ways to support Stepping out to Fitness? Click here to learn more.
Make a Senior Smile
Elderwerks collects
letters, art, poems, and cards to deliver to isolated and lonely seniors. We
deliver these well received notes throughout the year.
Masks for Seniors
Elderwerks will
continue to collect and distribute masks to any older adult or senior who need
them.
