National Skilled Nursing Care Week

At the age of 91, and experiencing increased dementia, our Mother could no longer live in her own home and she became a resident of Medilodge of Clare. The family was assisted in all aspects of her admission in a professional and caring manner, and the administrative buisness managers remained availible to us whenevr we had questions. Mom received excellent care from every one of the staff members at Medilodge of Clare; from the CNA’s to the Nurses and the Living Moments Program Director. They sought to comfort Mom in times of stress, and joyfully interacted with her to celebrate the things that she enjoyed, like dancing. She was always treated with dignity and great loving care. The greatest gift that Medilodge of Clare gave our family was teaching us to “live in the moment” with Mom.

“Thank you for the help. The staff was exceptionally polite and responded well. The food and therapy was very good as well.”

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

Iris was very helpful to me. She really encouraged me to keep going. I really liked that staff and therapy team.

I would like to recognize one of the MediLodge of Clare CNAs. While I received great care here from everyone, Stacey really made my experience here great! She made sure that I was happy, clean, and safe. Safety was a major concern for me as my self-confidence was lacking. She deserves recognition for a job well done. I love Felicia. She is my BOO! She made me laugh and that's so important.

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 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.
