A friend visits MediLodge of Leelanau

Whether it's lying down in a clean bed at night or getting a hot meal, MediLodge is doing a great job. Everyone here goes above and beyond to make us happy

I was recommended by my physical therapist in Petoskey to come to MediLodge of Leelanau for my rehab needs after my accident. I am very happy to report complete satisfaction with the whole system from admission to discharge. Nancy, Debra, and Cheryl, my nurses, and all of the CNAs, especially Liz and Barb, provided excellent care and cared about me! Showing that you cared was so important for me and my rehabilitation. I was very impressed with all the activities offered. Lena is very good at her job, and she is everywhere all the time. Also, the whole PT-OT department was excellent too. They all have really helped with my progress.

I choose Medilodge of Leelanau for my rehab needs because I have heard good things about them and it was recommended to me from a friend. The entire team was excellent, but especially the rehab team. Ramil and Tiffany pushed me to work hard to achieve my goals. They do their job right.

"If you need help after your hospital surgery, you can make that time productive and positive at Leelanau Health Center in Suttons Bay. They helped me feel better faster by their experience and professionalism for both of my Total Knee Replacements!"

"All people are treated as individuals, and each person's needs are treated sensitively."

After a very bad fall at our winter home in Mesa Arizona, and a ten-day hospital stay, I was eager to return to Leelanau country for medical care. We boarded the airplane in Phoenix on May 3rd, at 7:00 am for Michigan with my husband, grandson and oldest daughter. After 20 hours of travel time, we finally reached our destination at 3:00 am on May 4th with a wonderful greeting at the front entrance of MediLodge by familiar happy faces. My care has been excellent, especially with all the major changes that are proceeding forward. I appreciate the healthcare facility and the employees of which many I know personally and encouraged education along life’s journey. During my 66 years in the nursing profession, working at Leelanau Memorial Hospital and Leelanau Clinic, it has been a great pleasure. My progress is remarkable and made possible at Medilodge by the persistent therapy department and wonderful nursing team. We must have changes in our daily life to see progress and be ready to help one another whenever possible. I look forward to going home and with Thanks to MediLodge of Leelanau for wonderful caring and compassionate employees.

Our plans are only a thought, when changed in a moment’s time. One fall and both legs were broken, six bones. Suddenly, I was in the hospital undergoing three surgeries. Though my house was already wheelchair accessible, my body was not ready to return home. MediLodge of Leelanau came up as a possibility to receive sometime of rehab. It was close to home, so that was a big seller. My fall came a few weeks prior to Easter and not being able to get together with my family was daunting. That’s when Lena mentioned an available room to gather with my family. They put tables together to hold all 22 of us, complete with tablecloths and a buffet table to hold our food. That was going a step above. It blessed my stay, and I appreciated their going beyond and above. I would recommend MediLodge of Leelanau as a place of rehab to anyone in need. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very kind.

If you are looking for a place that offers reliability, comfort, security, and wonderful service for you or a loved one, this would be the number 1 choice in the Traverse City area. I received quality care, quality food in a beautiful environment. This place meant all my needs from medical care, to emotional and social in just the short time I was here for rehab. When I am no longer to stay at home, I know where I will spend my day when I need 24 hour assistance. The opportunity to interact with staff and residents was a great experience. The Activities Department provided an array of activities that really helps the residents get up and going and gets them involved with their environment.  This helped me in my rehab process to feel included and feel needed. The therapy department were my biggest cheerleaders with the upmost professionalism. Watching the different ways that they engaged residents and keep them moving and helping them reach their goals was unbelievable. I was able to accomplish my goals set forth by my therapy team to be able to finally go home.
