50’s Party

We would like to thank you so much for the excellent care that you provide to our Mother. Daily, you treat her with loving care and respect. Not only do you attend to her physical needs, but you are attentive to her emotional concerns as well. we can truly say that she has never been treated as an ill person, but rather as a person with an illness. You put the dignity of the person on an equal plane with the illness. From bathing to dressing to speech therapy to eating, she is always listened to and her concerns are addressed. Each time we have spoken with you, you have been on top of the issue. Even when some items take time, you continually pursue what is best for our Mom. There is so much you do with compassion and respect. You truly do provide tender care both physically and emotionally.

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.

I have good care here, and like most everyone, I want to give Barb and Kasia a special thanks for making me feel comfortable and used to being here.  I want to come back and visit every one of my friends.  The food is excellent; also, thanks to the kitchen staff.  I will miss you all, but I am looking forward to being back on my own.  Keith is helping me; I hope it’s soon.

I have been a patient here for 30 days and would like to thank each and every one of you. You have not only taken care of my medical needs but my physical therapy as well. The staff is always in a good mood and very important to the patients as well. Today I am being discharged and I’ll miss all of you very much. Thank you.

My name is Peggy G. and I especially want to say “Thank You” for all your kindnesses in the first days of my stay at MediLodge of Traverse City. I truly appreciate all you do! You also tended to my gluten intolerance with so much compassion, which brought me peace of mind. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to all the staff who cared for me at MediLodge of Traverse City. I hope you all continue to bless more families. I am truly blessed to have come to MediLodge of Traverse City for rehabilitation. I look forward to continuing my work out at the YMCA with my husband. You all have inspired me.

The commitment to quality designated by this award is a key first step to developing systematic, sustainable, person-centered care and services. We congratulate all of our 2010 winners on this prestigious achievement.

"Personality, care giving, kindness, patience and determination are only a few adjectives that describe most nurses aides and therapists at the Traverse City facility. When I look back to just 3 weeks ago of how my limbs and body were when I entered the doors of Traverse City, I was very weak and hardly able to do anything for myself. But with the support of the rehabilitation program and the supervision of all the staff, I have a much better outlook about myself. I feel ready to care for myself for the most part, therefore going home to continue my rehab program and get stronger as life continues on."

I really enjoyed myself and the staff.  They were all very friendly and helpful.  I’ve been here before from May – July.  When I was told I needed physical therapy again, I told them that I wanted to come back to Medilodge of Traverse City.

I believe the care was wonderful at Medilodge of TC in every way.  Very good support by everyone there.  The staff is very supportive and polite.  They go out of their way to accommodate the patient’s requests.  My husband even liked the food with more than a few choices.  The rehabilitation exercises were a miracle for my husband
