Reflecting on Memorial Day at MediLodge of Portage

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.

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.

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.

I went into the hospital and I could not walk, I chose Medilodge of Portage because it was close to my home. I enjoyed working with Stacy and Ashley, they were easy to work with and very understanding. Kelly the CNA was helpful in every way and very special. I learned a lot from being here and I will miss 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 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.

We cannot begin to thank you for the wonderful care Jeanette received during her stay with you. While she wanted to be in her own home, you made it possible for her to enjoy her time there. Your compassion, concern, and support was so wonderful. There are many of you we would individually like to thank, but for fear of missing someone, we hope you will take it upon yourselves to know who helped her the most. But we know each and every one of you makes a contribution for everyone’s well-being. Thank you again for your wonderful and generous care of Jeanette.

My experience at MediLodge of Portage was pleasant. If you had to come to a rehab facility, MediLodge is the one. The aides Natasha and Rachel were especially great. They always made sure I was being taken care of before the end of their shifts, which gave meaning to the term, “go an extra mile.” I appreciated that. Overall the staff was extremely helpful. The professionalism was just that, very professional.
