National Houseplant Appreciation Day at MediLodge of Okemos!

"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."

I have been here for 10 weeks of rehab after ankle surgery. I have received absolutely wonderful care from all of the people who work here. Everyone was so supportive and encouraging during each step of my recovery. The facility is well designed, organized and maintained. I would recommend Medilodge of Okemos to anyone who needs this type of care. I thank all the wonderful people here who have helped me recover. They are the very best.

I chose this center because I was here before and the staff has always treated me like I mean something to them! The nurses, aides, and therapy staff always smile at you, and they are gentle. I liked the activities and church services on Sundays.

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.

I chose Medilodge of Okemos because I was here 2 years ago and loved it. The staff gives the best services that you can get and for that I love this place. There are so many staff members who are so nice to me and there is a beautiful harmony between patients and staff. The food is excellent and the scenery is so relaxed, I feel very comfortable in the rooms here. If I ever need rehab again I will be back.

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.

I chose MediLodge of Okemos for my rehabilitation because it is close to home and convenient for my husband to visit. The rooms are very nice and clean. All departments are great and everyone is so kind, helpful and hard working.

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!

I chose MediLodge of Okemos because my social worker at the hospital highly recommended it. The Nurses specifically Holly and CNA Katina and Alaina are wonderful. The therapy and activities staff are fabulous as well! I’ve made lifelong friends here. Had lots of laughs and made an amazing recovery. After 13 months in a wheelchair, I was finally walking again in just two weeks of being here!

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.
