First Day of Shoes Fundraiser

MediLodge was a good facility to stay at during my knee recovery. Scott, the aide, always made sure I was okay. He was very attentive and companionate to my needs. I appreciated that. Therapy did a wonderful job, as well. They were good at listening to the things I couldn’t do and made adjustments when needed. I also want to thank Kelly. She was very helpful when I just needed something. I’d recommend MediLodge of Portage to anyone who may need to come for a rehab stay.

I came to MediLodge of Portage for rehab and everyone has met the criteria to get me better. They did that with a smile on their face and a good sense of humor. We had a lot of fun! The nurses, CNA’s, Therapy, and Resident Voice were great during my stay. I’d recommend this place for rehab anytime.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

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.

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!

This was my third time here at MediLodge. I came here after surgery on my left hip. Obviously, I couldn’t stand up, let alone walk. Today I’m writing this letter with tears in my eyes. All of you ladies are to blame. You got me up and standing, balancing, and walking. Don’t forget “Live for love, adventure, and knowledge."

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.

I have been treated very well during my stay at MediLodge of Portage. Fredericka was the one who made my stay here memorable. She always brightened up my day with her bubbly personality. Tina was also a great addition and was very patient and caring with me. Therapy was extensive and pushed me as much as I pushed myself. Overall everyone has been terrific! I’d recommend MediLodge of Portage to anyone who has to go to a facility.
