Happy Home Health and Hospice Month! ✨

Although there is never no place like home, Medilodge of Portage has been a good facility to stay at during my recovery. The food was good. Therapy did a wonderful job pushing me to do my best but not forcing to do more than I was able. You come to a facility to do your rehab and even though you would rather be at home if you put in the effort it can become a good time. It’s what you make out of it.

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.

I first came to Medilodge of Portage at the beginning of October 2018. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t talk, and couldn’t eat on my own. I knew it was a long road to get back to being and feeling normal again. Five months later, I have reached my New Year’s Resolution with the help of the Medilodge Therapy team and staff. Today I’m going home, and not to just visit, but to experience my life in full once again. I want to thank everyone for their help and support. I’ll be back to visit as a VISITOR only.

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.

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.

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."

We would like to say thank you for the wonderful care you gave our mother. You will always be in our thoughts as a wonderful place that truly cares.

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.

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 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!
