I chose to transfer to MediLodge of Hillman from another nursing facility because I was not happy with them, and I had heard great things about Hillman. The whole staff at MediLodge of Hillman is very friendly. They fulfilled all of my requests in a timely manner. They are extremely skillful and caring. The entire building is very clean; it really impressed me. I would definitely recommend MediLodge of Hillman to anyone needing skilled nursing facility services!
My wife chose MediLodge of Hillman as the place for me to recover because of location, but mostly because of the tour Karen F gave her. The atmosphere is very homelike in this facility, and that’s the way it should be. The scenery out of my window and the setting of nature here is perfect. The cleanliness of this facility is beyond excellent. As a matter of fact, I think it is the cleanest facility I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been in many facilities as a visitor and even a staff member. My laundry was always delivered in a timely manner. I would give them my clothes to be washed, and by the next day they would be hung in my closet or folded in my drawer.
Every person has stood out to me and treated me extremely well. I’ve only been here a little more than a month, and I feel like I’m leaving my family.
I’m very happy to be going home, but it does make me a little sad to be leaving here and not seeing everyone every day. The Therapy Department was above and beyond what I expected. I am grateful for the patience they had with me, and their consideration for my discomfort and pain. I never expected to recover the way I have, and I have MediLodge of Hillman to thank for that!!!

My stay at MediLodge of Hillman has been great! My nurse, Lori, was always on time with my medications. She always asked how I was doing and showed genuine concern for me. The maintenance man, Craig, was very easy to talk to. I really enjoyed having conversations with him; he is a very funny man. The CNA, Mary, went out of her way to help me and meet my needs. And my physical and occupational therapists were wonderful. They really helped me get my strength back!
I am overwhelmed by the fantastic, caring, compassionate service I have received here at MediLodge of Hillman. Every staff member has been wonderful to me.
When I first got here, I couldn’t walk and didn’t even know where I was. My doctors down in Midland didn’t expect me to make an excellent recovery. With the help of MediLodge of Hillman, I proved them wrong. Now I am leaving here using a walker, and my memory is much clearer. I think the world of the whole staff. Everyone did such a great job. If I ever need a nursing facility, I will definitely come back here, and I will be back to visit!

We chose MediLodge of Hillman because of their great Google reviews, and we have not been disappointed! They are a true example of customer service and hospitality. Every staff member here has been exceptional. Jody, the receptionist, is always on top of it with everybody. She has been nothing but kind and sincere since the first time we came through the door.

She is such a wonderful person. My nurse, Scott, always has a smile on his face and is always willing to do what is asked of him. He has been so helpful. The therapists have done such a thorough job.

It is such a clean and quiet place, and the surrounding property is so beautiful and green.
Everyone at MediLodge of Hillman has been great to me. It’s hard to pick one person that stands out, but there are a few who have. Toni, CNA, has an awesome personality. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and truly cares about her residents! Ellen and Kendall from the Therapy Department also stand out to me. Because of these ladies, I am so much stronger now. When I first got here, I would have to stop 3 or 4 times while coming down the hallway. Now, it is full steam ahead for me! I feel very confident about going home today. I’ve learned so much about myself while I’ve been here, and have such a positive outlook on life now! I want to thank everyone at MediLodge of Hillman for helping me through this journey and coming out on the other side, ready to conquer life!
Being at MediLodge of Hillman was an excellent experience for me. Every staff person I interacted with was great, and did their job well!

“ I chose MediLodge of Hillman for the second time because of the beautiful surroundings, helpful staff, cleanliness of the building, and the good food. The therapy department stands out the most to me, especially Ellen, Kendall, and Alvin. All three of them always stand by my side during my therapy treatments to make sure I am doing them correctly; I’ve never experienced that before. I always strive to do my best because of this, and I thank them for it!”
“The workers here have a great sense of humor. I love to laugh, especially when in situations like this. It helps to keep things more positive. Everyone I have met in this facility has been great to me. I would 100% recommend this facility to anyone.”
Staying here has been a great experience for me. I was very happy to have a private room. When I was first told I needed to go to a “nursing home” I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Everyone did such a wonderful job helping me during this crazy time, and made me feel very cared for. It is hard for me to pick one particular person or department that has stood out to me; the whole entire staff is exceptional from the managers to the floor staff. If I had to pick, I would say the nurses Kurt and Scott, because they are very caring and made me feel like they were both my big brothers. I will miss everyone very much! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this facility.
I chose MediLodge of Hillman for myself because I’ve been here in the past and it was a fantastic stay. Everyone here is so great, and I live across the road and cannot wait for springtime to come so that I can walk over and visit everyone!
I really enjoyed the private rooms. I was here last year when there were more people, and it seems a lot roomier and more comfortable this time. I even went and sat out on the couches by the nurse’s station. I will definitely be back for another stay.
The reasons I chose this center is because of this location, the conversations with other health professionals, and other friends who have come for rehab. The team members who stood out to me were nurses Sara and Vonnie- they were always willing to listen about our concerns regarding medications and treatment. The staff did everything they could to make Mom comfortable and to heal. The PR, OT, assistants in the wing are awesome, patient, and kind; that was very appreciated.
Every single staff member has been great. They are all very empathetic and understanding. I haven’t met one person who wasn’t great. They are very accommodating. I will definitely refer people to MediLodge of Hillman.
I’m excited to be going home, but I am going to miss this place—especially the company and the food. I am very impressed with the effort the staff makes to remember everyone’s name, and call us by it. It makes me feel like I belong and we are all one big family. No matter what request I made, the staff always went above and beyond in answering it.
The therapy department at MediLodge of Hillman is amazing. They never pushed me past my limits. They were generally concerned about my progress. Staff has been very kind and understanding.
The therapy department has done a great job! They are the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to quite a few lately! I have other family members that have been residents here, and they’ve all recommended this place!
I chose this center because of the great care my father received while he was here. A person who really stood out to me was Angie, from therapy. She was very patient, and she took time and consideration for her residents. Her personality was very bubbly. I have had both of my parents here, and this is where I would go if I ever needed a place like this. All of the therapy staff kept me very informed.
I chose MediLodge of Hillman because my husband had such good care here plus I have never heard anything bad about this place. Mary, the OT, was amazing. She is very professional and personable. I cannot say enough good about the workers here and this facility. I would tell anyone, who needed to go to a Nursing Home, to not
mess around and go straight to the
MediLodge of Hillman.
I investigated the facility first. Teamwork was evident and love for the residents. I knew I would have compassion and love! The residents and staff make you feel welcome and part of a family.
When arriving at MediLodge of Hillman, it was one of the lowest times of my life. I was unable to sit up without a brace on and needed assistance. I was totally dependent on others to do the smallest task. Everyone from all departments (Housekeeping, Dietary, Nursing, Therapy, and Administration) all addressed me by my name and was kind and helpful at all times. I truly believe that by being treated with respect, like family, and treating my emotional health, made my recovery that much faster!
My stay has been fantastic! The employees are fantastic and I can really talk with them. The food here is great! The ladies in the therapy department stood out and I was very impressed with how they really cared about getting me well.
My son and daughter-in-law chose MediLodge of Hillman for me as they wanted me close to them. The kitchen stadd made amazing food. The food here is like ‘Grandma’s cooking’. Angie from therapy knew what she was doing and made it fun. Everything was so great. The staff on the floor was very good. I was a little sad when I found out I would be going home soon. My stay has been wonderful.
Everyone at MediLodge of Hillman stood out to me. Within two days of getting here, everyone knew my name. People take the time to stop and say hi and talk to me. On top of that, I have not had one meal I dislike. The variety is great. If you don’t like the main menu, they have all kinds of substitutes.
This was the place for me because it was close to home and I had heard many positive things. The University of Michigan said it was a great facility! It was a nice stay and the dining room was great.
I chose MediLodge of Hillman after hospice told me about it. Overall, everybody was so nice, compatible and pleasant. I really appreciated it, and the food was really good! It was a very good experience. Everyone was so considerate. I will definitely come back here if I need to.

Everybody is really friendly and everybody knows their jobs. I’ve never had a complaint here.
“The facility was very clean, and I loved my large private room, lots of room for my family to visit me during my recovery process. Nursing staff took good care of me, and the Social Services department did a great job, my meals were great, I would definitely recommend Medilodge of Hillman to others.”
Catherine H. enjoyed her stay with us, stating, “I loved my private room and the food was excellent.” Her family and friends loved the place, they thought it was well maintained, clean, free from odors, and bigger than what it looks like from the outside.

My husband, Ed Kreft, and I would like to thank you and your staff for the beautiful Thanksgiving dinner for the residents and family. We were impressed with how well everything was handled- wow! It was really well planned and the staff did a great job, from being able to handle so many people to the actual serving and the cleanup.
We appreciated being seated in the conference room where our family could have a little quiet time to visit, especially since all three of our sons were here, plus our daughter and her husband. Ed was surprised that our daughter was able to come, and of course it made this a very special day for him. It was special for all of us since we would not have been able to celebrate Thanksgiving at our home this year. This was just perfect!
We were amazed that with the number of people there, what great service we had! There was constantly someone checking to see if we needed anything. The dinner was beautiful, and we all enjoyed it. In fact, Ed even managed to tell us how much he enjoyed it, and that is a real plus because he has such difficulty expressing himself. He managed to stay up for several hours, which is very unusual.
The staff greeted us and treated Ed as though he was just the most special person, which made him feel good and also made us realize how fortunate we are to have him there and cared for by such caring people. He loved the attention and all the hugs and good wishes. I wish I could name a few of the special people who did some of the special things, but I really wouldn’t want to leave anyone out. Everyone did a great job, and the kitchen put out a beautiful dinner.
You are all to be commended for taking the time and making the effort to do this for the residents and their families. A very hearty thank you to all of you from our family.
To The Medilodge Staff
I want to express my profound gratitude to the personnel of Medilodge, from the front office to the receptionist, for the excellent care that you gave me during my stay with you.
I made many friends, on your staff and among the other residents, while I was with you. The hallmark of your services to those in need is the unique combination of professional skill, compassion, and willing service. Not once did I encounter a frown, or the slightest hesitation to help others.
My Fondest Regards.

After my knee replacement, the staff at Medilodge was just wonderful. I loved my private room and the decor of the building made me feel like I was at home.

The girls in the therapy department really inspired me, their expertise and outstanding care got me back home quickly.
Everyone here was so good to me; I am so impressed with Medilodge. I really enjoyed my stay as well as the companionship of my roommate.
