Our Continuum – Where Visiting Nurses Provide Top Quality Care
The McLean visiting nurse association recognizes that healthcare needs for people as they age are varied and changeable. At a point in time a healthy, active person who has chronic pain in a knee may elect to have that knee replaced and could benefit from a visiting nurse. McLean will provide that person with post hospital care and rehabilitation through our visiting nurse association program for a week or so after they are discharged from the hospital, the outpatient rehabilitation they need after they have been discharged from McLean, maybe meals on wheels for a few days if they live alone and don't feel comfortable cooking for themselves, and the ongoing exercise classes for follow up strength-building and reconditioning. We hope that anyone in our community who has a healthcare need provided by visiting nurses will call us and let us help them through the McLean visiting nurse association program. Contact us to learn how our McLean visiting nurse service offers the flexibility of meeting your changing needs on an ongoing basis.
