MediLodge of Traverse Gets It Done!

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 got really good care the last time I was at MediLodge of Traverse City, that’s why I wanted to come back when I needed therapy again. You guys are great here! You have a great Activity Department, and I’ve gotten excellent care. I couldn’t think of a better place to be.

My stay was so great! My husband is in here at Memory Care and I have come to know many of the people that work here. They all love him and me. I got sick and had to come to rehab; but all was wonderful. I was able to visit with my husband while I was here.

My stay here was even better than last year. The staff works as one cohesive unit with the sole purpose of making sure the patient is the most important person here — my compliments.

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.

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.

“When I got here, I could sense my freedom would come from here.  They valued my opinion and preferences with my care and condition.  The staff are truly here to help people.  The nurses and caregivers are amazing.  The therapists all have kind hearts and do their work while happy and smiling.  Two thumbs up!  They all did a great job and this has been a great experience."  -Rich F.

I can’t say enough about the CENAs, nursing staff, therapists, plus all the auxiliary staff.  They were very supportive, helpful, and certainly caring.  Thank you so much.  Love you all.  The room was very nice and comfortable.  Housekeeping people did a good job.  The dietician was so helpful.  Thank you all.  Bless Kasia, the person who cared about my emotions and mental feelings.  I needed her.  She kept me from falling apart!

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.

I was the primary caregiver for my wife from 2008 until her death in 2013. During those 5 years, we had been to all available nursing homes. There was no doubt in her mind which facility she liked the best especially when it came to her needs. MediLodge of Traverse City (formerly Tendercare) was much more tuned in to what her specific needs were. Whether it was the nursing care, the PT or OT or she simply felt more at ease with this facility, she was here until her final trip to Munson Hospital. So, when I became ill, there was no hesitation as to where I wanted to rehab. MediLodge of Traverse City was my first choice and I could not have made a better decision. I am leaving here with a new purpose for living. It has truly been a great experience!
