Happy Thanksgiving!

The nurses, techs, housekeeping all worked very well together and I had a great experience overall! The staff was kind and professional. They encouraged you to "do a little more stretching!" Music therapy was very great and uplifting for the residents and therapists. I went to the dining room about 1/3 of the time and was impressed by the staff and warm food! A fellowship is so important! All of the staff have compassion. I felt safe and cared for easily. Ice was my friend and available to me. The staff has quite a sense of humor too! Blessings to you all!

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 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!

"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 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 chose MediLodge of Alpena after my knee replacement. I am very satisfied with my stay here. Everyone is so caring and understanding. Nancy, Ashley, and Eric were terrific and very helpful with my therapy. Thank you for everything!

I chose MediLodge of Alpena because it was close to my home and had good ratings! The team is amazing--they all care. Anything I had a question about was explained to me. I am pleased with the choice I made.

This facility is very clean. It has many friendly people and professional workers. It is a warm and caring place with wonderful people in every department. Jess Hogle is one of the best as she is always willing to help.

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!
