My wife Jean has come a long way since her first day at Medilodge, thanks to all of the wonderful care from the staff. The social worker Lana stood out to me most throughout Jeans stay; she has been so supportive and helpful. She has become like a friend to us. I had heard good things about Medilode of Rogers City and had been to other facilities in the past. This is the best we’ve been to!

I chose MediLodge of Rogers City for my husband Walter for the friendly and caring center that it is, with expert care and how they care for their residents. Therapy and Nursing were excellent! CNA’s were always at our needs to the best of their ability. Shelby, the Director of Resident advocacy and the Assistant Admission Coordinator here at MediLodge, was always up and beyond, coming in to answer questions of care and making corrections when needed.

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 chose Medilodge of Rogers City as it was close to my family and my home.  I have known many people that have come to this facility and had a great experience.  The facility was always very clean. The therapy department was outstanding. All the staff were great including Laurie Rex. She has such a great demeanor and always made sure that I was comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this facility to others; I had a great experience here!

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.

The reason we chose this center is for care and for therapy following a medical event that put her in the hospital on July 1. The entire staff stood out to me. Mom is a picky eater and loves the food!

The reason I chose this center is because it’s close to my home! I heard good things about MediLodge; the employees and staff are very friendly. Everyone in all department and staff treated me very good and made my stay pleasant. Physical Therapy and Occupational therapy were very helpful, a joy to work with!

Set a goal for yourself and work hard to reach it. No one will get you well but yourself!

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 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.

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.

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 food is always good, and the facility is always kept nice and clean. Shelby is excellent; she always does what is asked of her with no complaints and always wears a smile.

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.

I chose Medilodge of Rogers City to be closer to my family. I was a previous patient, and I remember them treating me very well. Staff is always polite and there to help you. Donna Thompson, CENA and Sue Z, LPN were great. I would certainly choose Medilodge of Rogers City again.

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!

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.

Team members that stood out are the nurses (Ashley, Andree, Sue, Jessica, and KC) and the CNA’s (Lorene and Sheila). They were all very caring, knowledgable and dedicated. Also, the PT and the OT staff were very patient, observant, and committed to my progress! I arrived here for physical therapy and skilled medical care, and now I am leaving healed and able to walk again. MediLodge should be a point of pride for Rogers City. I would come here again if needed!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
