November 2018 Calendar

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. 💝

I chose this center after fracturing my hip and had heard good things about this facility. Jeanie Crowles stood out the most to me because she was always there to help me when I needed it. But all of the staff is great! I will miss it here! The staff is caring and always so helpful. The kitchen staff was willing to work with what I like and the staff here has become family to me.

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.

I would highly recommend this facility to my friends and family. The facility is always so clean and has very hard workers. Everyone on the staff has been very helpful and accommodating to my needs.

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 this center because over the years I had visited friends and was impressed by such a friendly staff. I received outstanding care from everyone on staff! I spent most of my time with the therapy staff, and they all did such great work! MediLodge of Rogers City should be proud! Keep up the good work!

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 had been here before and knew it was a good place, so I chose to come here after my recent car accident. All management and floor staff are outstanding. The center is always so clean and the therapy team is very caring. If possible, this team will work hard with you to ensure you make it home, meeting all goals.
