October Activity 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!"

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

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.

"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."

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 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.

Everyone here was wonderful, and it was fun here! The center was very clean, pleasant people and good food! There were many friendly faces and smiles.

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