I chose MediLodge of Tawas City due to my fractured arm and for strengthening. Everyone was so wonderful! From dietary to the nursing staff they were all so good to me. I would highly recommend MediLodge of Tawas city to everyone I know in need of skilled care.

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 chose MediLodge of Tawas City after having hip surgery. I know Ida, the marketer, who comes to the Hale Senior Center monthly to do our blood pressures. I also had a connection with Pam (therapy) since I have known her family for many years. I know they both really care. I don’t want to go home, and I would like to stay. I’ve had an overall good experience while staying here.

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.

"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.

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.

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