My grandmother lived at the McLean the last 10 months of her life and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They took such great care of her and made her so comfortable. She was always clean and fed and safe and that was the best peace of mind for us, knowing it was the end of her life. The aids are all so kind and kept her spirits high. Could not recommend them more!

My mother went to McLean after surgery to repair a broken shoulder. The staff were amazing! The nurses were caring and attentive and her social worker Kim made herself available to discuss questions about my mothers rehab. OT and PT were helpful in her recovery as well. The rooms are clean and the grounds are beautiful. I would definitely recommend McLean to anyone who needs rehab.

We volunteered for McLean Senior living center. It’s a very beautiful place. They have everything, theater, restaurant, gift shop. Staffs are very nice , helpful. It’s very clean, quiet. If you want to visit or volunteer from your organization you needs to be vaccinated (complete at least 3 ) otherwise you would have to take on-site covid test. I would like to consider myself living there at my old age.
