Merry Christmas

Dear readers and future patients, I’m compelled to write a short synopsis of my stay here at Mediloge. I was living independently in my own apartment when I took very ill. I lost 45lbs and ended up at the U of M for surgery. For rehab, I chose MediLodge of Portage because my son and family lived close by. I’m not a gambling man but it turned out to be the best “Roll of the dice” I could have made. Everyone I came into contact with was so concerned about my health. In 2 months, I was walking again. In 3 months, I had regained the 45lbs. For me, it was a superior 5-star experience. So many professionals to say thank you to with much love. My motto is “live for love, adventure, and knowledge”. They did their job; mine was to make them laugh and keep it light-hearted. We all succeeded. They all know who they are! They’ll never be forgotten, Thomas A. Monroe P.S. Ask them about the spoon toss game. I got pretty good at it.

Can’t thank therapy enough for everything they did for me! Quality of life is important to me, and therapy got me back to where I needed to be. Kudos to the Kitchen staff and all employees; especially to the nurses Jessica, Corey and Ethan, Kristine the unit manager and all the C.N.A’s! Staff is wonderful, and Medilodge of Okemos will always be my home away from home.

I chose MediLodge of Okemos for their nursing care and therapy. Tammy (social worker) went out of her way for me, and she was fantastic! The nursing staff and aides were outstanding, accommodating, and cheerful! The therapists were excellent as well; they were the reason I came back here!

Everyone was good to me, even the patients! I got to know a lot of great people while I was here!

Everyone gave excellent care and I have been here 3 times, so that should speak for me!

I chose this center because the hospital said it was a good center. Therapy was great and very supportive! Everyone was very professional, and it takes special people to do this work!

MediLodge of Okemos has a lot to offer. I was here 5 years ago and therapy has always been very consistent!

I have been to this facility before and like it here. I like the therapy department because the same therapists work with you during your stay there and make sure you’re doing what you’re supposed to. I also enjoy all the entertainment at the facility, especially Bingo and when the Accordion man comes to play.

"To Everyone at MediLodge, Thank you for everything you've done for me. Your place is very nice to be, especially if you need the help to get better. You all were very nice and respectable towards me. I was happy to have picked your facility. Again, thank you for all of your time. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Yours Truly, Paul M."

The reason I chose Medilodge of Okemos is because my sister was here and she had excellent care. Also, my mother was here as well and she too had excellent care. The therapy department is excellent I mean all of them. My aide Cathy and Isora are great and you could not ask for anything better! I have had no problem waiting for help as soon as I turn on my call light they are in right away. I plan on having another surgery this year and will definitely be coming back to Medilodge.
