McLean County has a long tradition of providing for the welfare and care of its citizens dating back to 1878. In 1974 the citizens of the County decided to continue that tradition for the County's elderly when they passed a referendum to build the current McLean County Nursing Home. The Board chose to build the home on property the County already owned on north Main Street in Normal. It is situated in a park like setting in Fairview Park and just to the north of the Fairview pool.

With the construction of the new nursing home, the Board dispelled the outdated image of the County home as a "poor farm." It is a facility the citizens can point to with pride. The building was designed to be light and spacious throughout. Each resident room has built in closets and dressers to allow for free movement about the room. There is a wall mounted TV controlled through the resident call system, and the rooms have a large window overlooking the grounds or one of the interior courtyards. Each of the three resident wings has a large dining room with windows on three sides overlooking the grounds. A fourth dining/multipurpose room, used for large group activities and social events, is located off the main lobby.

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 here. Our goal is to provide quality care in an atmosphere that allows both residents and their families to feel at ease during the resident's stay in the nursing home. Through their efforts, the McLean County Nursing Home has achieved a solid reputation in the community for providing consistent, quality care for those who live here.

The McLean County Nursing Home is licensed as a skilled care facility and accepts residents regardless of their payment source. We give admission priority to those on Medicare and Medicaid, but we are also available to those who have the ability to pay privately for their care.

We invite and encourage members of the public to visit the home at any time. If you would like to talk with someone about the possible placement of a family member or simply arrange for a tour, please call us at 888-5380. Our Social Services staff will be happy to talk with you.
