MediLodge of Hillman Staff Christmas Party!

As you might imagine, the Medilodge of Hillman staff can provide you with many stories illustrating the reliability of our nursing care and rehabilitation therapy. Fortunately, so can our patients. And they do – frequently, at length, and enthusiastically! We’ll let their testimonials speak for themselves. There are more where these come from, too. If you’re researching who can best provide for your recovery or rehabilitation, contact Medilodge of Hillman to get additional feedback on the services we provide. 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.

The nurses and CNAs were great and willing to do anything to make me comfortable. The food was great. Everyone made me feel at home. It's great t be here and the time just flies by!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.
