Gingerbread House Wars Winner at MediLodge of Portage!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful care you gave to Pauline. Your kindness and warmth made such a difference to all of us.

My experience at MediLodge of Portage was pleasant. If you had to come to a rehab facility, MediLodge is the one. The aides Natasha and Rachel were especially great. They always made sure I was being taken care of before the end of their shifts, which gave meaning to the term, “go an extra mile.” I appreciated that. Overall the staff was extremely helpful. The professionalism was just that, very professional.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I would like to commend the fine work done by your employees. Their awareness of the full scope of clinical excellence and sensitivity to emotional issues was professionalism at its finest. In my work as a private geriatric care manager, I am aware of the differences between standards of care in various facilities. I will look forward to making future referrals to you.

I have had a very nice time here at MediLodge of Portage during my rehab stay. The nursing staff are great. The food was the best of any other rehab facility I have seen. My first husband was in many from Florida to Michigan and all of their food was bland and the food here had good flavor. If I ever have to go to a rehab facility again I will choose here.
