Administrator Week

All in all, we just want you all to know how grateful we are for all the special pampering that you gave Mom during her stay with you. All of you who work at Medilodge of Portage are truly special, and we will never understand how you do it all so efficiently!

I was extremely apprehensive at first about my stay at Medilodge of Portage as a resident. I feel like I have made some nice friends and the care has been perfect. The staff has been wonderful and I applaud the OT and PT department---they were really on their toes in my recovery. Nothing better to perk up a resident in the morning than a smiling face to help you get ready for the day. That plus a cup of coffee!

Thanks so much for all of the care you provided to my mom during her recent stay at your facility. I really appreciate your professionalism during the difficult moments. You can be proud of the work you do and I would definitely recommend you to anyone requiring a skilled facility.

Everyone at MediLodge of Portage has treated me great. All the staff has been nice. I have never had any negative words to say about anyone. Therapy and Speech did an excellent job in my recovery. I, at first, hated seeing them come in but appreciated there dedication to get me back to where I needed to be to go home again. I would recommend this facility to anyone.

I had the pleasure of staying here at Medilodge of Portage for rehab. I was a little afraid at first, but things got easier thanks to your Therapy team. Thank you all for your care, and I hope not, but if I had to, I would love to come back to your facility.

Since I can’t have Paul with me at home, there’s no other place I’d rather have him live.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

We would like to say thank you for the wonderful care you gave our mother. You will always be in our thoughts as a wonderful place that truly cares.

I knew about Medilodge of Portage as a highly rated care facility, but never thought I would need to be cared for there. In an instant, I broke a major bone and was so immobilized that I could not even crawl. So people came and helped get me to the hospital and after a 3-hour surgery and beginning physical therapy I came here. Most simple basic movements required someone to be there, keep me safe, and stable. At physical therapy, I could see gains every day. It really felt good getting those muscles moving. They always knew how to use the machines and weights to work the exact spot. Days and night’s worked hard to keep me comfortable and clean. The bigger story is all the other people I saw being cared for here. This place is going like gang-busters every day. They are able to care for people with a very wide range of needs, but always with compassion. Even those who can do little or nothing for themselves are cared for around the clock with never a harsh word. Everyone I see here has a passion for what they are doing. It’s not just a job. Running a nursing care facility is serious business. Here it is done with real professionalism. I actually enjoyed my stay here and wasn’t in a rush to leave.

I came to the facility with a foot injury and required a lot of attention for balance and walking. Thanks to Ashly and Stacy’s encouragement, I leave here today confident that I will succeed at home. They are very gracious yet firm. If you have never had a need for a rehab stay at a facility, remember it’s what you make out of it. I really appreciate the Therapy team at Medilodge of Portage for their hard work helping to get me back out into the community in a timely manner.
