Hi all, I was a resident of MediLodge for three months, Sent home on September 25 th of this year. You might think I’m a little strange, but I really miss so many people there. I met so many great people Including all the nurses and assistances and the wonderful therapy program they have. I miss eating with the people I met and grew to love. I love being home with my family too. I want to wish everyone there a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope they give you a great meal🍱 Thank you to all of you who took such good care of me.

Had a couple family members go through rehabilitation after surgeries. Staff was kind and caring. Seen a lot of smiles. All the employees stay busy but make time for my loved ones. You can tell they care about the patients. Beautiful outdoor garden. My father loved it even i took him out there. Feeling like being at home.

Similar to other REAL reviews I've read alot of praising reviews , Likely from staff paid to endorse where they work. We removed our mother today after a few weeks of care and are transporting her elsewhere. Cleanliness wasn't that great but not terrible. Saw alot of staff in appearing to wander around without care to some patients. Our mother complained of a few things. Our biggest issue tho LACK OF COMMUNICATION. We got most of our info from a great employee in the financial dept who looked into things for us as we had unanswered questions. Even with medical power of attorney, we were NOT updated or I formed on some things , even after putting in specific requests and waiting for a reply. I can say it did NOT appear to be understaffed , so there is no valid excuse that is acceptable. As family that lives far from the complex , simple basic communication should not be avoided. Our Loved ones are our highest concern. Some of the staff I met in person we're friendly, however I'd NOT recommend as we worried daily too much and the lack of empathy and communication to us was VERY DISCOURAGING

While touring this facility I noticed cleanliness of patients rooms, hallways and gathering rooms. I sensed friendliness and order of staff members with their patients as well. During the orientation I was consistently, mentally noting the knowledge and management skills of the presenter, Kayla. I think she did very well throughout all of the information she presented.
