Folded Paper Wreath Activity

This center was recommended by the Petoskey hospital and I had also come to visit people here before and they seemed t have a great experience. MediLodge of Rogers City is a very beautiful building, and everyone does a great job here. The facility is always kept clean. I would highly recommend this facility!

I never thought, in my entire life, that I'd think of "visiting a nursing home," as the highlight of my day. I've come to know many of the people there, residents and staff and I can honestly say that I rarely leave without a lifted spirit and a joy that isn't found anywhere else. Last night, I visited my mom and on my way in and out (as usual) I stopped to speak/visit with several of the beautiful souls there. Including, (I'll call her) "Jenny." (Let me tell you that in the hundreds of times I've been there, I've never seen anyone come to visit "Jenny." Not once.) Anyway, I noticed her in the hall sitting alone, and she called to me as I passed, as she often does. I turned around and went back to chat with her. (I call her "Sunshine") She wanted to know where I was going. 😌 I told her that I had just stopped to see my mom and she (Jenny) started to sing softly to me, smiling from ear to ear. I quickly looked around for the radio and not seeing it; I told her, "We need some music! And when I come back, we're gonna DANCE!" She's not able to walk, and it's quite obvious the years haven't been so kind to her. But, when I said that we'd dance, her eyes LIT UP with pure joy. ☀️ How I wish you could have seen them. I wish her FAMILY would have seen her face...that beautiful face. So, that's my story. It's that simple. That's where you'll find true and unadulterated joy. Grace. In the "serving." In the forgotten ones. I'll never forget it. 💝

The reasons I chose this center is because it's the closest facility to home, recommended to come to here by Petoskey Hospital! Nursing department has been fantastic. Therapy worked with me each day to help me meet my personal goal. The kindness of the staff and professionalism they show is outstanding.

I chose Medilodge of Rogers City because I had heard great things about the staff and they were truly GREAT! The nursing staff did everything they could possibly do to help me. The kitchen staff was very good. They made sure I received the food I needed as I am a Vegetarian and I know sometimes that can be tough and hard to please. The Therapy Department really “stood out”! They really made me work hard and were always at my side to be sure that I would not give up! I would definitely recommend this facility to others.

We chose MediLodge of Rogers City for our mother’s care because it has a great reputation and allows us to keep her close to home. The staff are always very helpful and explain every aspect – from her general health down to the paperwork. Alma and Lisa have been wonderful with her; always going over and above our expectations.

I chose MediLodge of Rogers City because I see the kindness the staff give their residents every day. I was treated very well by everyone. The therapy team was great. They explained all their treatment plans to me and assisted me in my recovery. It was hard work, but I made up my mind to do the best I could so I could return home as quickly as possible. A special ”thank you” to Tom from maintenance who assisted with getting me a TV, so I did not miss any Tiger games. You are all wonderful!    

A doctor recommendation from a local practice influenced my decision to come to MediLodge of Rogers City. The PT/OT were great and Donna the CENA was wonderful; she always is very attentive and caring. Therapy helped me to get stronger so I can return home. The food was also good. I would recommend MediLodge of Rogers City- their team does a great job.
