CNA Week

Hello, I was asked to write about my experience with Medilodge of Clare when my mother, Carol Cotton, was a resident there. My mother was in the Dementia Unit. I was there several times a week, along with my brothers, who also came at different times. I saw nothing but caring people taking care of my mom. Megan Fry is wonderful. She is so caring. She kept the residents busy with activities, she was always doing something different, like hat day, or dress up day. The people love her. The nurses and aides were very good and sweet to the patients. They were always updating me on my mom’s health conditions. I was very nervous to send my mother to a home. I had taken care of her at my home for several years. After i put my mom in Medilodge of Clare I knew that i made the right decision there was no question about that. Of course I would've liked my mom to live with me but i could no longer take care of her. The rooms were very clean. I miss the time going there since my mom passed away. It was her home away from home.

Thank you for the cards and for teaching me how to play solitaire. It is very fun and relaxing. I am happy we had time together, you are so sweet and thoughtful. I am thankful you came into my life and made happiness. You are a lovely person. God Bless you

It was a great stay, all my ladies were awesome and PT was super. They all helped me to get better quick so I could go home. Thanks to everyone.

Having my rehab here at MediLodge was a wonderful choice. I felt very at ease and at home here. Every one of the CNAs was so friendly and helpful. Two of them (Kendra & Kathryn) did everything that I asked of them no matter how crazy the request was. The nurses always had time to listen to my concerns and answered every question I asked. The physical therapy team was amazing. I am now able to do things that I thought I would never do so soon after my surgery. When I had to talk to one of the administrative staff, I was treated with respect and was never talked down to. I would recommend MediLodge to anyone who needed rehab and as a great place to recuperate. Thank you to everyone!

My wife who had dementia called Medilodge of Clare her home for 7 months. While it was difficult for her to leave our home, Medilodge of Clare provided a homelike atmosphere for her. I would recommend Medilodge of Clare for three reasons: 1. The staff at Medilodge were professional, caring, patient and always kept me informed of my wife’s condition. They treated her with the respect she deserved. 2. The layout of the facility provided much needed security for my wife. I knew she was safe when i was not present. Additionally, the view from the large sitting area was very serene enabling my wife to see the pond and various wildlife. 3. The facility was always clean. There were never any unpleasant odors. I do not regret my decision and would do it over again if necessary.

Kimmy was outstanding, she really knows what she’s doing. I was really happy with the all-around help I got. Therapy and the food was also really great!

My stay here was very good and the staff was the best. Love them all.
