Flag Day Ceremony

This was a very positive experience. The nurses and CNAs were attentive and helpful. The therapists made the workouts fun. The food was tasty and plentiful. We especially loved Kasia – such a sweet person! The only suggestion is the larger name tags for the staff.

Your therapy personnel is excellent and knowledgeable. Positive staff like yours brings about pleasant, relaxed residents. I especially enjoyed the high ceilings and lots of windows in the Dining Room, set up like a restaurant. I would have liked a more Mediterranean style menu. I was impressed with the cleanliness of rooms; sanitation was evident. Residents were treated with respect no matter their condition — a happy, friendly atmosphere like a family. I was impressed with how far some staff drove and how long the team has worked there.

I am pleased for the most part for my brother David’s stay at Medilodge of Traverse City. He is treated with great care and respect. He is helped as much as he allows. It has been six years, and three months he’s been here. He has enjoyed Happy Hour and the Oldies music as well as special events and his smoking time with others. He is now on hospice. Occasionally he will come down to the Activity room and check out the puzzler folks and even put a piece or two in. Everyone helped the family so much when we almost lost him one time.

Everyone here is thoughtful, considerate and friendly! The care is wonderful. I’ve had visitors and they too say, “the difference is amazing at this facility.” My son checked out all the facilities at Munson when I was getting ready to leave and chose this one. I am so glad he did. It’s been a great experience. Therapy has been painful; but so helpful. I am very impressed with the therapy department. They have given me a list of things to do at home when I leave. The respiratory therapist Sweetlana is so sweet and conscientious about providing care. I really benefitted from her services. The entertainment here was so good too. I attended concerts and socials and had visits from the Life Enrichment staff. I was even able to get a haircut and manicure. What a treat! I would highly recommend Medilodge of Traverse City to others who need such service/rehabilitation.

The cleanliness of this facility is outstanding. The meals are very good. In house laundry is organized and excellent. Residents are entertained daily. Barb Morgan is an excellent queen of entertainment. Physical therapy is outstanding and very thorough. Family and friends visiting are welcomed and treated as guests.

I want to take a moment to thank you for the marvelous job you all are doing caring for our son. Rarely do I visit when I find him alone, it seems someone is always in his room, attending to his needs, or just looking after things.

I had really good care while I stayed at MediLodge of Traverse City! The nurses are good, and whenever I needed help, the aids were there. The housekeeping team always kept my room shiny.

I have stayed here twice in the past two years. Both times for rehabilitation. I have found everything that I was looking for, and the staff is excellent. Everything has met my standards, and I would recommend anyone to come and stay. Great staff, good food, crafts, Bingo, etc. I could go on. Just come and check it out for yourself.

My husband has been at MediLodge of Traverse City for 13 months. His care has been stellar. The care is given with tenderness and love. The activities are so diverse-field trips to seeing gardens and going on picnics. The Activity Director, Kasia, along with Barb and Georgiana (great supportive staff) have planned and carried on an Art Show (profitable) from art the residents have done. The residents were so proud of their accomplishments. A lot of the family members and guests to the Lodge attended.

The activity staff and transporter have taken residents on Fall color tours, Christmas light tours and also to see the orchards blossom in the Spring. They have brought residents to enjoy live music and a meal at the Senior Center (the Gathering Place) in Honor.

My husband wanted to first stay in bed. Kasia encouraged him to get up and help her. He now has helped put flower decorations (or posies as he calls them) on the dining room tables and picks them up. He takes that very seriously and that he’s needed.

I have been at the Lodge different times during the week. I have yet to see dirty hair or find food on resident clothes. Residents are clean and cared for. CENAs –Martha, Becky, and Tina care so lovingly for the residents that can’t feed themselves. Hugs and forehead kisses are a daily thing. All the staff are wonderful. I see how caring and wonderful they are.

Now, my husband is a very picky eater. He is constantly teasing the cooks, complaining about the food as he’s cleaning up his plate. The staff takes it in stride and hug him anyway. They are real treasures.

Then there is Travis-maintenance man/BBQer and many other things he does. He is so busy but always gets everything done and done well. Travis takes the time with residents that want to help as he’s working in their room. He is ever so kind.

Now, all that being said, I can’t leave the office staff out. Lisa, Amy, and Wanita-they are my go-to folks when I feel like my world is caving in because my husband isn’t here. They understand and listen to me and offer their supportive caring.

Again, let me reiterate this Medilodge of Traverse City is stellar and should be held up as a standard by which all health care facilities should be held! I’m so thankful I found this treasure!

I chose this center because they are very nice people. The staff are friendly, and it’s a clean place. I really enjoyed myself being here.
