Lady Goo Goo at the Olympics 😎

I would just like to say that my stay at MediLodge of Port Huron exceeded my expectations!!!

I had a wonderful stay. I was very pleased with the staff and how they worked together as a team. From the first moment stepping through the doors everything was wonderful. The staff was very prompt with answering call lights and giving medications. Staff was always very kind and pleasant.

My family was able to schedule visits with no issues, and we had a very nice area to visit in. I would tell anyone looking for a place to recover or needing therapy to choose MediLodge of Port Huron, they are great at what they do!!

And one more thing, I loved the popcorn on Fridays.

Thank you!

Judy D.; Home is Where the Heart is

Judy has been a Lodger at Medilodge of Port Huron for over 4 years now. She went there after a hospitalization stay and was very happy to see how much the staff cared for her and her commitment to get better. She said she was immediately impressed by the atmosphere and how comfortable it was. Judy is a social creature who loves to help people and be involved in daily activities. She feels that the staff really make a difference in helping her live as independently as possible. As someone who worked in the service area, she understands how much a positive attitude contributes to a caring staff and a caring community. A few years ago, Judy’s family wanted her to come home and try living on her own.

Gold Star Care Close To Home

Gerald S. originally came to MediLodge of Port Huron because of the great referrals that his friends and family gave him and the fact it was close to home. His family could come and visit him anytime and he appreciates how inviting our building was. Gerald had fallen at home and needed to get stronger so that he could return home safely. “The therapy staff was wonderful and helped me be motivated to do more than I thought I could”, Gerald states. “The food is good and the staff is terrific”. Gerald’s daughter even described the nursing staff, “They have that human caring touch in all they do. I would watch them tuck staff in and really care for them as people, not just a job.” Gerald and his family felt that he was cared for with dignity and compassion and would recommend MediLodge of Port Huron to anyone who needed short term therapy.

I would just like to say that I had a wonderful stay at MediLodge of Port Huron. All the staff very just wonderful! I can see why MediLodge of Port Huron is a 5 star facility. A special shout out to Joann ( C.N.A.), she is phenomenal!!

John G. and His Harmonica Harmony

John G. didn’t know what to expect when he came to MediLodge of Port Huron. After Pneumonia and eye surgery, he knew he needed to get his strength back to be able to go home and get to work on his Blue Water Bridge artwork he has all planned out in his head. Although it was very out of his comfort zone to come to a skilled nursing center, he really appreciated how much he was treated like a gentleman and was able to keep his freedom. John exclaims “The staff was always ‘Johnny- on-the-spot’. The building is always so nice and clean and people really work hard at providing good service.” Therapy worked great in helping John become stronger and more confident. He felt like he is much more able to return to his assisted living apartment in a safer and healthier way. John was often caught “serenading” other Lodgers with his harmonica. At the age of 8 or 9, John was given a harmonica as a gift. He always liked music and he would practice and practice until he perfected the skill. “My Old Kentucky Home” was the first song he learned while riding home from school on the bus. If John found out that a person had a birthday coming up or just passed, he would come out and play “Happy Birthday” on his harmonica. “Silent Night” is another of his specialty tunes. MediLodge of Port Huron will miss the musical moments of John G., but we are all blessed to have had the chance to meet him. John admits that if he ever needs our services again, he would not hesitate to return to us. He really appreciated all the care and smiles that were given so freely by everyone. He went home feeling motivated, positive and full of life and energy.

A Smile In His Heart

If you get a chance to meet Mike O., you will never leave without a pep in your step and a smile in your heart. Mike came to MediLodge of Port Huron after having heart surgery. Mike was impressed by the open arm welcome and by how clean the building was, especially the floors. “It is very important to me to see how the floors are kept, especially the carpet. Everyone does a great job here. Even the corners are nice and clean.” He also enjoyed how helpful and caring the staff were with him. They went out of their way to motivate him, joke around with him and do what they could to help make his stay pleasant and enjoyable. Therapy was able to really motivate him and help him learn how to shower, dress and take care of himself without hurting or injuring himself. They taught him how to exercise so he could get stronger and gain his confidence again. Mike also had lots to say about the food. He loved the roast turkey and mashed potatoes, breakfast was his favorite and he enjoyed “destroying” a good burger. When it came time to prepare to go back home, Mike really appreciated the extra education about his medicines, and information to help him when he got home. His next doctor appointment was made for him and he was given instructions on whom to contact if he ran into any concerns. He was educated about coming back to MediLodge of Port Huron within 30 days if he found that he needed more care. He was assured that MediLodge would be following up with him to make sure that his home care services were stepping in to assist with the next phase of his recovery. All of these steps really helped to put Mike’s mind at ease as he continued to recover and get back to enjoying all his favorite activities again. Congratulations, Mike on your graduation from MediLodge of Port Huron therapy!

Richard W. knew exactly where he was going for post-surgical rehabilitation after his knee replacement surgery. He knew because when his wife had been at MediLodge of Port Huron in the past, they loved how professional and clean the place was. They were impressed with the spacious private rooms, private showers and the fact that the staff is always friendly and attentive. “The food was pretty good and the staff was so professional” Richard states. “While I was here for my own stay, I experienced the same friendly and professional staff. The therapy folks are so knowledgeable and really helped me get back on my feet in no time.” Richard said he would not hesitate to recommend MediLodge of Port Huron to a neighbor or family member. Everyone there knew their profession and did it well. The feeling of “good customer service” really showed through.
