Special Holiday Message

I have come so far from the beginning. From my very first day until my very last day. Physical therapy has helped me in so many ways, they helped my tremors get so much better compared to before. Whereas before I couldn’t even hold my head up now I can. I can walk, eat, and talk so much better on my own. I can now better communicate with other people. The nurses have been very professional and kind hearted at all times. The administrative personnel has also been very helpful and kind to me. I have grown very close to everyone and I will truly miss a lot of the people here. The nurses’ aides have been helpful and I am glad to have had the opportunity to come to Medilodge because I am now able to be independent. I would like thank everyone at Medilodge for going above and beyond my expectations at all times.

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. 💝

Denise Chapman stood out the most to me with all the activities she organized to keep residents busy. She was always so helpful. MediLodge of Rogers City has such loving and caring staff. Along with a very clean building. Other staff members that stood out to me the most are: Trisha Wehzel, Shelby Wolgast and Alma Sutphen.

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 heard of other people who came here and they had great experiences. I relied on what they told me. All CNAs have been great to talk with. Therapy has also been quite pleasant to communicate with. Staff has always been very helpful and great and treat my guests with the utmost respect.

The reason I chose this center is because of a referral by the emergency room surgeon, and it's closer to home for me. The therapy department stood out and exceeded my expectation! Well educated in their field, they work with you to help meet your personal goals. This facility is extremely fortunate to have such top-notch employees in several departments.

The reasons I chose this center is because I had been here once before, everyone was good to me. Have had family members here as well. Never any complaints! All staff has been accommodating to my needs. Therapy has been great, helped me reach my personal goal. Everything was great while I've been here. Food was good too, the facility always clean.

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.
