Please Attend Open Forum Family Council Meeting

I felt at home and chose to come to MediLodge of Tawas City for my therapy. When I ended my therapy, I decided to stay long term. The activities always have something going on. I love doing my restorative program with Shannon. It keeps me moving. I love all the nurses and CNAs. I really couldn't take care of myself at home before I came for therapy. So, I am very grateful for the people here.

I chose MediLodge of Tawas City for myself because it was close to where I live so I can have visitors. The department that stood out to me the most was the therapy department. They worked with me so that I can walk out of here and begin to feel normal again after my stroke. I would recommend MediLdoge of Tawas City for anyone looking for some rehab services.

I chose MediLodge of Tawas City after having back surgery. My friend Nancy recommended that I choose to go here. Therapy was A #1! Pam and Tammy were both very attentive, helpful and useful. Jacob (CNA) was friendly and attentive.

I chose Medilodge of Tawas City for my dad, Dixie Caudill, for a respite stay while I spent some time downstate. I can always count on Medilodge of Tawas City to allow me to bring dad in when I need to. Ida, Admissions & Marketing Director works very well with myself and our hospice agency. I can let them know a few days ahead of time that I would like to bring dad there, Medildoge is right on it willing to do whatever it takes to get him in. I can always count on Medilodge of Tawas City to take care of my dad, you all do good work. I know my dad is safe while I’m gone. I will always use Medilodge of Tawas City for our respite stays.

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 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 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 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.”

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