Celebrating Human Resources Week at MediLodge of Portage

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

I went into the hospital and I could not walk, I chose Medilodge of Portage because it was close to my home. I enjoyed working with Stacy and Ashley, they were easy to work with and very understanding. Kelly the CNA was helpful in every way and very special. I learned a lot from being here and I will miss it.

Thanks so much for the wonderful, thoughtful care you’ve given both of my parents.

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.

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.

I came here in September for some rehab, not knowing what the outcome will be after my stroke. With the help of the Therapy team and staff, I have come a long way in my recovery. I would really like to thank Beth in OT for the extra work that she put in focusing on my bad hand. Also big thank you to Karen and Dontaja for going the extra mile bringing me my coffee before I even had to ask. Keep up with the great work MediLodge staff.

My wife, Donna Casper was a resident at TenderCare of Portage for 13 years, I watched things closely after Medilodge took over, and it did not take long to get a good feelings about Medilodge of Portage. It’s very hard to pick a specific member or department that stood out for all the employees are great, Nurses, CNA’s, office, dining Room and maintenance staff and rehab department. When the Time Comes, I plan on coming here as a resident, as I am 83 years old.

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 first came to Medilodge of Portage at the beginning of October 2018. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t talk, and couldn’t eat on my own. I knew it was a long road to get back to being and feeling normal again. Five months later, I have reached my New Year’s Resolution with the help of the Medilodge Therapy team and staff. Today I’m going home, and not to just visit, but to experience my life in full once again. I want to thank everyone for their help and support. I’ll be back to visit as a VISITOR only.
