Deer Watching

"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!"

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!

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.

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!

"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 have always received great care here. Everyone is very nice and friendly. I enjoyed the flowers in the garden.

Jess Hogle really stood out, I love her personality. Always smiling! The gardens are beautiful, everyone should see them!

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.

"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."

In a single word- "Outstanding"! Everyone is supportive of each other and residents. All staff + team members were cordial, efficient, and co-operative most all the time of my visit.
