Fall Ball 2022

I really enjoyed my stay here at Medilodge of Portage. Therapy did a wonderful job at my recovery. The staff was helpful with all my needs when I required them. Bayan, Jameshae, Marcie, and Sandra stood out to me the most, but overall, your staff are fabulous.

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!

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 felt very comfortable with my stay here at MediLodge of Portage. I feel like my goals were met and I was able to walk again. The Nurses, Aides, Doctors, Therapy Team and the rest of the staff were really nice. I did more here than I could do at three other rehab centers. MediLodge of Portage has great rehabilitation services. If I were ever in need of these services again, I would be more than willing to return. I would recommend this facility to others.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

I’ve enjoyed my stay here at MediLodge of Portage. I have no complaints at all. The staff treated me very well and let me go at my own pace, which I really appreciated. I also liked the quick call light responses when I needed assistance. Well, if I had to come back, this would be the place I would come to!

  I want to take this opportunity to thank the entire staff at Medilodge of Portage for making my recovery and rehabilitation possible.

 I arrived at the facility by way of an ambulance and confined to a stretcher back on March the 19th 2020. At the time my pain level was off the chart and my mood and disposition were quite unfavorable.   I sincerely apologize to the nursing staff and CNA's then who had to deal with me in those early days of my stay.

 Since that time my physical condition has been substantially and visibly improved and I have been cleared for discharge on May 21, 2020.

 Over the past 2 months, I have not only made some dear friends but many of you have become like family members since I don't have any immediate family in the area. This unforeseen reality has gone a long way in helping with my recovery.

 Your unrelenting patience in the administering of medications, meal preparation and delivery, custodial, laundry services, administrative services, and hot coffee is unsurpassed in the healthcare industry.

 During this Coronavirus epidemic, all of you have demonstrated not only are you essential but quite invaluable. I truly hope that corporate levels realize that all of you have earned your pay, and still deserve a considerable increase in pay and benefits for your levels of professionalism.

Everyone at MediLodge of Portage has been extremely nice during my stay here. I enjoyed going down to activities and eating my meals in the dining room. Therapy was great as well. They really worked hard in my recovery. I would recommend this center and be happy to come back anytime!

We cannot begin to thank you for the wonderful care Jeanette received during her stay with you. While she wanted to be in her own home, you made it possible for her to enjoy her time there. Your compassion, concern, and support was so wonderful. There are many of you we would individually like to thank, but for fear of missing someone, we hope you will take it upon yourselves to know who helped her the most. But we know each and every one of you makes a contribution for everyone’s well-being. Thank you again for your wonderful and generous care of Jeanette.

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.
