Pet Therapy

I chose Medilodge of Tawas City again since I was here for my first knee surgery. I had a good experience the first time, so figured I would come back after this knee surgery. The staff that most stood out to me? There are a few of them. First - Hannah CNA she is so bubbly, very thorough, knows the needs of the patients and fun to be around she can always make you smile. Chrystal RN has been very attentive and caring the whole time I was here. Kept on top of things. Then there is Stacy OT & Mike DON who was also very attentive to what I needed and immediately made changes. Hats off to you all! My overall experience was wonderful. I’m glad that my meds were always on time and my call light was answered very quickly. I will and have referred a couple of my friends to your center.

I want to thank you for the wonderful care you are taking of my mother, Melinda Taylor, who is a resident at your facility. I am far away in Florida and have worried about her in the past, but now that she is with you I am relieved. She seems very happy and that makes me smile. So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!

I chose MediLodge of Tawas City because of the rehab services. Other friends of mine highly recommended the center. All of therapy stood out to me! They “hunt”(LOL) you down to get you to do what is needed so you can go home safely. The CNAs are right on top of their game. All of them went above and beyond to do a great job. I would recommend MediLodge of Tawas City to others needing any care.

"I'd like to spend the rest of my life here. They treat me right and I've gotten stronger."

"The commitment to quality designated by this award is a key first step to developing systematic, sustainable, person-centered care and services. We congratulate all of our 2010 winners on this prestigious achievement."

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.

"The therapy was really good. It was the best I've had. It helped 100%. You all kept after me to do what I needed to get better."

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.

I chose MediLodge of Tawas City for my father, Ralph Hengehold’s therapy because of his weakness. I heard the therapy here was great and it has been. Hannah and Courtney (CNAs) were always very personal-able, caring, nice and joked around. We like the improvements that have been made at MediLodge of Tawas City, the rooms are very home like! I will recommend the center to others in need of a place to go.
