Summer Fun

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.

I came to MediLodge of Portage for rehab and everyone has met the criteria to get me better. They did that with a smile on their face and a good sense of humor. We had a lot of fun! The nurses, CNA’s, Therapy, and Resident Voice were great during my stay. I’d recommend this place for rehab anytime.

I‘m originally from San Antonia, Texas and moved to Portage, MI to have colon cancer surgery in 2016. From there I was sent too many different hospitals until I ended up at MediLodge of Portage for my rehab. I’ve enjoyed the staff here who have taken care of me since May 2018. I particularly would like to thank Kelly, Theresa, Kara, Pam, Tammy, and Derrick for the care they have given to me in these past 4 months. Without them I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have.

  I want to take this opportunity to thank the entire staff at Medilodge of Portage for making my recovery and rehabilitation possible.

 I arrived at the facility by way of an ambulance and confined to a stretcher back on March the 19th 2020. At the time my pain level was off the chart and my mood and disposition were quite unfavorable.   I sincerely apologize to the nursing staff and CNA's then who had to deal with me in those early days of my stay.

 Since that time my physical condition has been substantially and visibly improved and I have been cleared for discharge on May 21, 2020.

 Over the past 2 months, I have not only made some dear friends but many of you have become like family members since I don't have any immediate family in the area. This unforeseen reality has gone a long way in helping with my recovery.

 Your unrelenting patience in the administering of medications, meal preparation and delivery, custodial, laundry services, administrative services, and hot coffee is unsurpassed in the healthcare industry.

 During this Coronavirus epidemic, all of you have demonstrated not only are you essential but quite invaluable. I truly hope that corporate levels realize that all of you have earned your pay, and still deserve a considerable increase in pay and benefits for your levels of professionalism.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

All in all, we just want you all to know how grateful we are for all the special pampering that you gave Mom during her stay with you. All of you who work at Medilodge of Portage are truly special, and we will never understand how you do it all so efficiently!

I’ve enjoyed my stay here at MediLodge of Portage. I have no complaints at all. The staff treated me very well and let me go at my own pace, which I really appreciated. I also liked the quick call light responses when I needed assistance. Well, if I had to come back, this would be the place I would come to!

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.
