McLean County Nursing Home has a long tradition of providing for the welfare and care of its citizens dating back to 1878.

While the citizens of McLean County can be very proud of the building they have provided, our most important asset is the professional, dedicated, and caring staff who work in our facility.

Our philosophy is to provide quality care in an atmosphere that allows both residents and their families to feel comfortable and welcomed during the resident’s stay. McLean County Nursing Home has a history of having a solid reputation in the community for providing consistent, quality care for those who live here. We intend to uphold that reputation by continuing to maintain and improve our standards of excellence.
