Let’s start a conversation about your care wishes!

As the holidays end and a new year begins, many people can finally take a moment to relax – and to think about planning for the future. If you’ve ever wondered what a life plan community is all about – and why so many seniors choose to call one home – we invite you to learn more at the McLean & Me Educational Series on January 20 at 4:00 p.m. at the Goodrich building: “Levels of Care in a Life Plan Community.” The leaders of our independent living, assisted living and memory care, and rehabilitation/skilled nursing will explain what’s involved in each level of care, and you’ll learn which level might be right for you or your loved one. The event is free but a sign up is required at www.McLeanCare.org/events. We hope you’ll join us!

Wishing you a Happy National Bird Day! The day is observed annually to raise awareness about bird conservation and welfare – something dear to our hearts here at McLean. Our founder, Senator George McLean, oversaw the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, landmark environmental legislation that’s still in effect today. The McLean Game Refuge honors the Senator’s conservation efforts by caring for the birds and other species that call the 4,400-acre McLean Game Refuge home. Learn more about the Senator and the McLean Game Refuge’s stewardship of the land at www.McLeanCare.org/game-refuge.
