Tawas City

"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 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.

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.

To all of you Nurses, Aides & Staff: I want you to know I admire and look up to each & every one of you. You are awesome, you seriously hold the greatest titles on earth...Thank you for everything you do!

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 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 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.
