Meet Our New Activity Aid!

It was beautiful. You did a beautiful job and I tell everyone about you. I appreciate the way you worked with me in the morning and afternoon.

It’s very good here at MediLodge of Traverse City! The staff treats me very well. They even set up a special dining table just for me and my wife on our anniversary with linen and flowers. We felt so special and enjoyed our meal together since I wasn’t able to be home yet for the special date. I would recommend this facility to everyone.

You know, it's a very good feeling when both times I have been to your center I came in by ambulance and I can walk out of here. I trust the staff here and your therapy department is truly amazing. I will come back if I ever need therapy again and will tell others what a great center MediLodge of Tawas City is.

I chose MediLodge of Tawas City after having hip surgery. My doctor suggested that I go to a skilled center. Hannah (CNA) is very helpful, funny & a joy to be around. Pam (therapy) is very friendly and explained the therapy process very well. Overall my experience was good. I learned a lot about skilled centers.

“I chose Medilodge of Tawas City for myself. My friend Mike is the D.O.N. there. I chose this center because it was close to where I live, and was a shorter distance for my wife to travel to see me. There are a few departments that stood out to me. First, there is nursing: Kendra and Leeann, the main two nurses that took care of me, both did a great job, were always polite, courteous, and very caring. Stephanie and April (CENAs from first shift) are both very caring people who take their job seriously and are polite as well. They always made sure I was comfortable, asking if I needed anything. Upper management came by on daily rounds, making sure everything was going well, asking how the prior evening went. The center has an excellent therapy department. Greg, Stacy, Emily, Lana kudos to you! You all show your passion for what you do. Shower aides Amber and Hannah also do a great job. Thank you for all you do. My overall stay was excellent.”

I chose MediLodge of Tawas City due to my acute COPD distress and for strengthening. When I got here, I could hardly walk or do anything without being completely out of breath even when using my oxygen (which is 24/7). Now, I can walk over 200 feet and do all the exercises they ask me to do. Your therapy department is excellent, and everyone here has been very sweet and pleasant to be around. All of the staff is very caring and compassionate. I never had anyone be unpleasant or mean to me. I have no complaints. Everyone from housekeeping, dietary, laundry, nurses, aides, and therapy was very pleasant and always willing to help when you need it. I hope not to come back, but if I have to go somewhere, I will choose to come back to MediLodge of Tawas City again. I will recommend your center to others. I really enjoyed my stay.

I chose MediLodge of Tawas City for myself. I have heard good things out in the community about your center. Shannon (CNA) makes people feel comfortable he makes me laugh. Cheryl LPN (nurse) is always friendly and compassionate. The staff is great and very kind. My advice to everyone is to take everything one day at a time.

We, my wife and I, chose Medilodge of Tawas City for myself because I needed some strengthening. We chose this center because we heard it’s a great place to be; plus, we know Thomas, your SW. He is a very helpful and kind young man. Your nursing staff has been great. Overall, I was taken care of very well. I would definitely come back if I needed to. We will recommend MediLodge of Tawas City to our family and friends.

I have been in a facility similar to this and MediLodge of Tawas City is infinitely better! The food here is wonderful. It tastes good, it’s always warm and they offer a wide variety to choose from. The nursing staff is just as wonderful as can be. They are very attentive. They listen to me and allow me to take part in my care. The activities here couldn’t be better! There are three wonderful activities ladies. Courtney was the first person to make me feel wanted in a very long time. She took the time to talk to me and encouraged me to stay positive. There are a wide variety of activities but the ones I enjoy most are Jeopardy, Euchre and Word Games. Although my eyesight is bad, they have made accommodations so that I could take part in art and crafts. At first, I was very anxious to leave here but now I feel like I fit in. I have made friends with many of the other residents. I don’t know how the staff here does it. They are so kind, patient and as nice as can be to all of us that live here. I hope to stay here as long as possible.
