    Review

    Mclean County Nursing Home, located in an old building, has received mixed reviews from residents and their families. While some praise the facility for its cleanliness and dedicated staff members, others express concerns about poor staffing, failure to follow physician orders, and denial of abuse reports.

    One reviewer mentioned that despite being a typical nursing home environment, Mclean County Nursing Home accepted Medicaid and had both private and double rooms. However, they were unable to secure a bed for their loved one due to limited availability. The staff members at the facility were generally regarded as good and attentive.

    Another individual selected McLean County Nursing Home for their mother because of its reputation for low employee turnover. Although the building itself was outdated, cleanliness was maintained at a high standard. Situated near a university, students often visited the facility, providing companionship for the residents.

    Regarding the location, it was noted that while the overall look and feel of the area may be outdated, the staff were described as helpful and welcoming. The facility shared land with a juvenile detention center and faced challenges due to nearby projects. Nonetheless, parking availability was decent, and residents could enjoy an outside garden space.

    The respectful treatment of residents by staff members was often highlighted in reviews. Staff members took the time to familiarize themselves with each resident's name and needs without relying on directories or electronic aids. This personalized approach created a comfortable atmosphere within the facility.

    However, there were also concerns about poor staffing levels leading to difficulties in following physician orders adequately. This issue raised questions about whether all residents received appropriate care based on their medical requirements.

    One alarming mention was that abuse reports were allegedly denied by McLean County Nursing Home. This accusation is not elaborated upon further in the available reviews but suggests potential negligence or misconduct by staff towards residents who reported abuse incidents.

    In conclusion, McLean County Nursing Home presents a mix of positive and negative aspects according to various reviewers. While some appreciated the cleanliness, staff dedication, and the presence of visiting students, others raised concerns about poor staffing levels, failure to follow physician orders, and alleged denial of abuse reports. The outdated appearance of the facility and its location near a juvenile detention center were also mentioned as drawbacks. Ultimately, individuals seeking a nursing home should carefully consider these factors and explore alternative options if possible.
