Meet Our New Member of the Dietary Department!

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

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.

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.

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’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.

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 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.
