Mclean County Nursing Home in Normal, Illinois, operates as a skilled nursing facility committed to providing 24-hour licensed care. Residents benefit from regular physician oversight, on-site registered nurses, and prompt access to rehabilitative services. Physical therapy is available on campus, and treatment plans are coordinated among therapists, nursing staff, and attending physicians to help residents maintain or regain mobility and strength after illness, injury, or surgery.
Beyond direct medical services, the staff delivers comprehensive assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and continence care. Medication management, wound care, and monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease are handled according to individualized care plans. The nursing team also communicates regularly with families and external healthcare providers to keep care plans current and responsive to changing needs.
Accommodations include a mix of private and companion rooms designed to support safety and accessibility. Features may include adjustable hospital-style beds, in-room climate controls, and accessible bathrooms with grab bars, though not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping, laundry, and routine maintenance are provided by the facility.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with alternate selections available for residents requiring special diets such as low-sodium or pureed options. A registered dietitian oversees menu development to align with physician-ordered nutritional requirements. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms can request tray service, but availability can vary depending on staffing and medical necessity.
Residents can take part in daily social and recreational programming. An activity center hosts group events, and scheduled bingo sessions remain a popular pastime. A library and computer lounge offers quiet space for reading, internet access, and email correspondence.
