Happy 103rd Birthday Olga! 🎂🎈🎉  

  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 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.

Medilodge of Portage is a nice clean place. The staff has been excellent, very friendly. The food here was pretty good, especially the deserts. I enjoyed certain activities like the Ice Cream Social. I did improve in Therapy, and they did great working with me. I would come back for sure.

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!

I really think MediLodge of Portage is a wonderful building. I have enjoyed the staff. They have all been courteous and kind during my stay. I have had no problems here and would recommend this facility to others.

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.

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.

I enjoyed coming back to MediLodge of Portage for my recovery. The staff has been very caring, and I have enjoyed their great personalities. The care has also been excellent.

I arrived here at MediLodge of Portage on January 19^th for some rehab before I transition back to home. Right away, I received a warm welcome. All the staff treated me very well during my stay here. I had good meals and wonderful Therapy. Enjoyed activities and met some great people like my roommate. In some small way, I hope I made a difference here as they did for me. I know I will miss everyone and be missed by them all as well but it’s time to go home. Hopefully, if I need to come back, it will just be for a visit.
