Thanksgiving Notice

I had everything I could ever need while at MediLodge of Rogers City. My nurses and aides were top notch! They were all very helpful and knowledgeable. They are the BEST!

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 MediLodge of Rogers City because I had heard good comments from friends about this facility and to be close to my family. I found the CENA’s and nurses available to answer my questions and they were all so helpful. The Therapy Department was great and helped me in my recovery; the Activities Department always had crafts and activities that I was able to participate in and would brighten my day; the Housekeeping Department made sure that everything was neat and clean and kept the floors shiny. Marsha from the Social Work Department was wonderful!! I would certainly choose this facility again!

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!    

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.

I chose MediLodge of Rogers City after several good experiences there in medical care and rehab. I am now in patient therapy and Elenor is my therapist. Elenor is a great teacher and brings out the best in people.

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 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.
