Annual Staff Christmas Party

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

Overcoming a stroke is not an easy task; however, MediLodge of Portage met the challenge and exceeded my expectations. The first thing I took away from MediLodge is perfectly said on their welcome bags: Recover, Rejuvenate, Revitalize, and Return home. Secondly, they had a saying there “teamwork makes the dream work.” Thirdly is I can do anything through Christ, which strengthens me. All three of these got me through what I considered a challenging and difficult time in my life. Even the residents would tell me, “Calvin, you are a victor, not a victim,” and I was able to overcome, grow, and return home with all of this. Thank you, MediLodge! Thank you, staff! And thank you, Therapy team, for always challenging me.

Everyone here at Medilodge of Portage was extremely gracious during my stay. Therapy went above and beyond to get me where I needed to be physically, in order to get home. Thank you to all the staff in helping with my recovery. I would defiantly recommend this center to anyone.

I really enjoyed my rehab stay here at MediLodge of Portage. Their group of girls has been outstanding while helping me in my recovery. I would come back, for sure!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

I‘m originally from San Antonia, Texas and moved to Portage, MI to have colon cancer surgery in 2016. From there I was sent too many different hospitals until I ended up at MediLodge of Portage for my rehab. I’ve enjoyed the staff here who have taken care of me since May 2018. I particularly would like to thank Kelly, Theresa, Kara, Pam, Tammy, and Derrick for the care they have given to me in these past 4 months. Without them I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have.

It was comforting being at a place that was familiar to me. My wife was at MediLodge of Portage about 10 years ago and some of the same staff were still here. Through the years I have brought candy to MediLodge of Portage and the surrounding community. They call me the “Candy Man” but I just want to give to people who are in need of a friend or may be feeling lonely. It’s just nice to know that people here are so caring. I do appreciate everyone at MediLodge of Portage and want to thank you all for your help with me now and my wife then.

Circumstances have led me to come to MediLodge of Portage for rehab. Even though I felt like I didn’t need to come to a rehab facility, I found my stay to be helpful. I was able to gain strength back and now I’m able to return home with my family. Thank you MediLodge Staff, you were all great!

Medilodge of Portage is a nice clean place. The staff has been excellent, very friendly. The food here was pretty good, especially the deserts. I enjoyed certain activities like the Ice Cream Social. I did improve in Therapy, and they did great working with me. I would come back for sure.
