July 2020 Activities Calendar

Everybody was kind and caring! Jess from MediLodge of Alpena was very friendly and helpful. Marci was very caring as well as all the CNA's on A Wing.

"I enjoy activities like bowling down the hallway. I used to be on a bowling league years ago. I had a strike my first try and was the overall winner!"

"We are sending you this to thank you and your staff for the excellent care given to our mother, Helen Odom, during her stay in your facility. We cannot tell you how pleased we were with the care and compassion shown by everyone who worked with her."

Social services, the business office, and especially the PT and OT team stood out to me! All of your employees were really empathetic and supportive, even when I was getting frustrated.

The reasons I chose Medilodge of Alpena was for therapy- very satisfied! The very dedicated staff at all levels are accomplishing their tasks and compensating for others.

On May 27th, 2018, I experienced a near death accident where my leg was severed. After two surgeries and nine days in the hospital away from home and family, I learned I would transfer to Medilodge of Alpena to begin rehabilitation. As soon as I arrived, the staff had all of my care coordinated making my care transition seamless. Dr. Dargis and all the other staff were very attentive and caring. I received excellent care in a way that met my personal needs and made me feel “at home” The therapy staff are top notch and committed to excellence every step of the way. Thanks to all the staff for care that felt like home.

"Jennie and I saw Margie regularly and our impression of the concern and care for Margie and the courtesy and extra effort extended to us was outstanding. The provision that Margie was allowed to keep her cat Misty as her constant companion was only one example of extraordinary sensitivity and compassion."

I chose MediLodge of Alpena because I had visited a friend here and was impressed by how clean and nice it looked. All the nurses and CENA’s were excellent! Cleaning ladies are so very pleasant and did a good job. All the volunteers were very special, always helpful and so very pleasant. Physical therapy was great and all so caring and so helpful.

The reason I chose this center is that it's close to home. If only all nurses in the world were like Jess, we'd all be so much better. She is amazing!

My doctor recommended that I tour MediLodge of Alpena a year before my knee surgery. I retired to Florida and returned specifically to have surgery with my Doctor. I feel pampered and completely cared for in a place that has all the comforts of home. Thank you for all of the wonderful care, pushing me through the pain, and helping me to resume a normal life. Specific team members that stood out were: Brandi was comforting at night. Mary is a super helpful custodian. Nurse Katie is fast & smiley! Tiffany remembers everything. Jason was my "can do" guy! Mary has quiet concern for everyone. JR treated and made me feel like a VIP. Jesse was my personal cheerleader and an active listener. The therapy department - everyone was outstanding! There are so many compliments that I have for MediLodge. Gentle kindness is the rule of the day here! Even when facing angry and verbally abusive dementia residents, EVERYONE cares deeply, uses a quiet, gentle kindness, and abundant patience. This compassion is an example and lesson which deeply touched my heart. Life can be cruelly unfair, but the staff at MediLodge provides a soft place to land. Thank You!
