Annual Fall Harvest Gathering

Every department in MediLodge more than surpassed my expectations. From therapy to the entire staff. I was cared for in the most professional and caring way. My experience here at MediLodge can only be explained as totally unexpected as far as caring and respect. Every member of the staff treated me with A+ kindness.

My Mom had been here for 2 months and I was so truly satisfied with her core and my stay has been awesome! The full "family" atmosphere is so inviting. Everyone greets you in the halls with a smile and nod. The service is prompt and the foods tasty! What more could I want? I had a family emergency after only one week into my care. Every staff person went out of their way to make my stress and medical issues resolved! I felt so blessed!

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 this center is because my daughter is an OT here, and I knew I would get the quality therapy I needed. In the Therapy Dept, Nancy and Rachel stood out! They worked me very hard to help me reach my goal. Also the E Wing Nurses, Missy and team; they went out of their way to answer my many questions, and they were always pleasant with a smile. It was the best month I have ever spent on myself. I got stronger every day I rested and healed, I met a new friend and got encouragement along the way from those friends. I would come back if I ever needed to — a very pleasant stay. I had fun.

I chose MediLodge of Alpena for myself because I knew I would get excellent care and I have received exceedingly great care! I would need more space to list everyone that gave me terrific care. Jessie, Kathy, Mary, Rain, Kathy, Zackery, and all the A-Wing Techs were fantastic! Everyone was so wonderful to me. I even made some wonderful friends. Everyone would go out of their way to accommodate all my requests!

Originally I chose it for Carl because of the location; the best decision we made! We received such great physical therapy and occupational therapy here. I try not to have favorites but Jess was both of ours. She was always ready to answer every question we had. There are so many wonderful people working here. This time it was like visiting family. If we had anything else to share about our experience at MediLodge of Alpena we'd say if you have to be away from home for therapy, this is a wonderful place to have it. Except for the pain in therapy, it's like a hotel, but with a lot of pampering. Our stay was the next best thing to home, a nice vacation for me. Thank you all so much!

The friendliness of the nursing staff was great, always right there. The therapy staff was great. I was very satisfied.

"I felt the need to write a letter of thanks to the staff of Alpena for the care my grandmother received while she was a resident there. Having to make the decision to put our grandmother in a nursing home was a difficult but necessary one. The fact that she was in the right place was evident each time I visited her. My husband and I have had the nursing home experience with three of our grandparents, and our experience at Medilodge was the best by far. It was always clean there, always tidy and it was evident that the staff clearly cared for the people who lived there."

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!

"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."
