McLean wants to get to know you ­­- your needs, your dreams, and goals. We will work with you and your family to develop an individualized plan of care that will maximize your dignity, independence and safety.

McLean's Assisted Living Program is small, intimate neighborhood with staff who will know you and help maintain your highest level of independence enabling you to live life to the fullest. You will receive supervision or assistance with personal care needs like bathing, dressing, queuing for medications, and organizing your day's activities. Family members are encouraged to come join in the activities, share a meal, or volunteer in one of the programs.

Assisted Living residents have priority access to the McLean Continuum.

 

The McLean Continuum gives me a very secure feeling.
First I lived in The Village, then I moved over to The Robinson.
Adding the new Assisted Living Program

We have an arrangement class and for every holiday we make the arrangements for the living room, for gifts and for the dining room. Flower arranging and decorating has been my hobby for years and years.
I love all the opportunities to keep doing this at McLean, plus we often help staff with projects such as mailings.
I told my family that the management thinks of things to do for us before we even think of them. They are so caring.
