International Housekeeping Week

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.

Since I can’t have Paul with me at home, there’s no other place I’d rather have him live.

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 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.

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.

I really enjoyed my stay here. I loved everyone. They were great in my recovery and I will miss them all deeply. Thank you MediLodge of Portage.

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.

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.

Circumstances have led me to come to MediLodge of Portage for rehab. Even though I felt like I didn’t need to come to a rehab facility, I found my stay to be helpful. I was able to gain strength back and now I’m able to return home with my family. Thank you MediLodge Staff, you were all great!

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.
