CARRER_22Sep

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!

The staff at this facility were great. My overall satisfaction with MediLodge of Clare was good. If I need to ever come to another facility for care and therapy, I would choose MediLodge of Clare.

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.

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.

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

My stay has been pretty good. I think all of the staff do very well. Bridgett is something special; she's like having the sunshine in the morning. Thank you everyone!

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.
