Residents enjoyed being pampered while getting into the Halloween spirit! 🎃💅

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.

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."

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.

I knew about Medilodge of Portage as a highly rated care facility, but never thought I would need to be cared for there. In an instant, I broke a major bone and was so immobilized that I could not even crawl. So people came and helped get me to the hospital and after a 3-hour surgery and beginning physical therapy I came here. Most simple basic movements required someone to be there, keep me safe, and stable. At physical therapy, I could see gains every day. It really felt good getting those muscles moving. They always knew how to use the machines and weights to work the exact spot. Days and night’s worked hard to keep me comfortable and clean. The bigger story is all the other people I saw being cared for here. This place is going like gang-busters every day. They are able to care for people with a very wide range of needs, but always with compassion. Even those who can do little or nothing for themselves are cared for around the clock with never a harsh word. Everyone I see here has a passion for what they are doing. It’s not just a job. Running a nursing care facility is serious business. Here it is done with real professionalism. I actually enjoyed my stay here and wasn’t in a rush to leave.

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 had the pleasure of staying here at Medilodge of Portage for rehab. I was a little afraid at first, but things got easier thanks to your Therapy team. Thank you all for your care, and I hope not, but if I had to, I would love to come back to your facility.

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!

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

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.
