National Houseplant Appreciation Day at MediLodge of Okemos!

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 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!

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.

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

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 it’s close to home and the property is well maintained. All departments and employees were very caring and helpful. No matter what time, day or night, staff had a smile and were very helpful.

I chose MediLodge of Okemos because of its location so I could be close to family and friends while recovering. My therapy experience was excellent, thanks to the staff, who were all very encouraging! I’ve been pleased with this place.

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.
