Nurses Day

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.

Overcoming a stroke is not an easy task; however, MediLodge of Portage met the challenge and exceeded my expectations. The first thing I took away from MediLodge is perfectly said on their welcome bags: Recover, Rejuvenate, Revitalize, and Return home. Secondly, they had a saying there “teamwork makes the dream work.” Thirdly is I can do anything through Christ, which strengthens me. All three of these got me through what I considered a challenging and difficult time in my life. Even the residents would tell me, “Calvin, you are a victor, not a victim,” and I was able to overcome, grow, and return home with all of this. Thank you, MediLodge! Thank you, staff! And thank you, Therapy team, for always challenging me.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Everyone at MediLodge of Portage has been extremely nice during my stay here. I enjoyed going down to activities and eating my meals in the dining room. Therapy was great as well. They really worked hard in my recovery. I would recommend this center and be happy to come back anytime!

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.

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

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.

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.
