Great Lakes Burn Camp Parade

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 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.

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.

I knew about Medilodge of Portage as a highly rated care facility, but never thought I would need to be cared for there.In an instant, I broke a major bone and was so immobilized that I could not even crawl. So people came and helped get me to the hospital and after a 3-hour surgery and beginning physical therapy I came here. Most simple basic movements required someone to be there, keep me safe, and stable.At physical therapy, I could see gains every day. It really felt good getting those muscles moving. They always knew how to use the machines and weights to work the exact spot. Days and night’s worked hard to keep me comfortable and clean.The bigger story is all the other people I saw being cared for here. This place is going like gang-busters every day. They are able to care for people with a very wide range of needs, but always with compassion. Even those who can do little or nothing for themselves are cared for around the clock with never a harsh word. Everyone I see here has a passion for what they are doing. It’s not just a job.Running a nursing care facility is serious business. Here it is done with real professionalism. I actually enjoyed my stay here and wasn’t in a rush to leave.

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.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

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.
