Happy Independence Day!

My Mother, Helen Heintz, Spent the last year of her life in the Memory Care Unit at Medilodge of Clare. To have to admit a parent in to a nursing home facility is not only a very hard choice- but a scary choice for the family. The process of admitting her and help with the financial issues from Kelly Grossett were amazing!! Kelly walked me through every process and always had time for my questions or to assist me She was a true blessing in a very confusing process. I will always be grateful for her professional wisdom and help!!! Of course as a family- your concerns jump to all the bad press that Nursing Homes have received and the horror stories you hear from other friends and family. NOT the case with my Mom. My Mother was treated with the utmost care and dignity for the last year of her life. We found the facility to be clean, functional for her needs and happy to say- her needs always came first. The Nurses called to report any little issue that may have occured and kept me very informed on her condition. We sisters were there on almost a daily basis and never observed anything to make us question her care in any way. Mom was well taken care of and you felt the affection and love from her caregivers for her. What a gift to us and mom. The staff was always more than willing to take the time to discuss Mom’s condition and answer any questions we had. When Mom passed- several of her caregivers at Medilodge of Clare attended her funeral. Mom died in June- in December a Christmas ornament was left at my house in remembrance of her- a gift from Medilodge of Clare. They continued to warm my heart and remember Mom. I have the highest regard and respect for all the staff and caregivers at this facility. I would recommend Medilodge of Clare to anyone who needed this end of life home and wonderful care.

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!

I would like to thank all the CNAs that work hard and I take my hat off to the chef- the food has been spot on. Hats off to Shannon for helping me with my issues. Hats off to Justin and Jamie to help on the weekend and holidays to get me stronger. Hats off to Tim for giving me a ride on the side by side. Thank you all for being so helpful!

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

Hello, my name is Russell Pettigrew. I would like to give praise to the whole staff at MediLodge of Clare. they were very helpful in my stay here and everyone made sure all of my needs were met. Shannon was the best, she made sure everything I needed was a top priority and everyone made me feel like I was part of the family, so much that I wish I could stay here forever! Thank you so much for everything and I love you all so much. So long!

My name is Betty, and I came from MediLodge of Midland. I tested positive for COVID, and I was transported to MediLodge of Clare. There were great staff and good food; I ate way too much. They always gave me a bowl of soup, mashed potatoes, and LOTS of gravy. My stay was enjoyable even though I miss home. They treated me well, and my down time was spent playing Yahtzee. Now I am going back home COVID-free. Thank you for everything, and God bless you!

Kimmy Hines and Ed are the best CNAs! Therapy was great! Anlee and Sandra were tough but they were amazing with me. The rest of the staff were very nice too. The nurses were very helpful and I had a great roommate---the girl from Lake Shannon. The resident advocate was cheerful and happy.
