Medilodge of Monroe

I just wanted to say how much I love all of you guys for making my dad feel so loved near the end of his life. Means more than you can imagine. And for letting us be by his side through it all. Will never forget it.

Thank you so much for taking care of me, I heard good things and they were all right!

Thank you so much for taking the best care of me and being so kind to my family!

Thank you for taking care of me this week! Happy to be going home feeling better!

Thank you for taking really good care of me and giving me good therapy so I could go home!

Thank you to the MediLodge of Monroe staff. The only reason why I am leaving is to be closer to my wife.

Thank you to the entire staff here at MediLodge of Monroe, you took great care of me!

Thank you, MediLodge of Monroe, for taking care of me! I am so happy to be strong enough to go home!

Thank you so much to the staff at MediLodge of Monroe for taking care of me! You guys are a great rehab!

My ace team here at MediLodge of Monroe gives me support and encouragement daily. Even when I am feeling bad. I come out of every therapy session feeling great. My improvement is noticeable from session to session.

Thank you so much MediLodge of Monroe for caring for me the last 6 months! I am off to my new home thanks to your staff!

With mixed feelings, I’ll be leaving MediLodge of Monroe Saturday, June 19th, 2021. I owe a lot of my rehab to the wonderful therapy staff. Their patience and sometimes tough love got me to this point. They taught me to keep fighting. I will always be thankful. They also became more like family. Thanks guys! Also the nurses were very compassionate! Thank you! The staff were very helpful and educated. Thanks to everyone for being understanding. Love you guys!

When I arrived at MediLodge on Wednesday, May 12th, I was unable to walk, stand or put any weight on my right foot. I was very worried as I am a very active person. The first time I was asked to walk with a walker from my bed to the door, it was painful. My improvement has been wonderful and I am so happy. Everyone here had been great help in my recovery and I couldn’t have done it without my girls. My therapy has gone very well and I am able to walk, stand and my goal was to walk out of here. I am doing just that. Thanks to everyone!

Thank you to the staff of MediLodge of Monroe for your kind and compassionate care during mom’s days with you.

Medilodge, My Home Away From Home…

Why I choose Medilodge for my Rehabilitation Center? Let me count the ways. First and foremost, through prayer, I was blessed to make connections with Jackie, Director in Admissions, who helped me to make the right choice to rehab at Medilodge from reconstructive hip surgery. Jackie was my guiding light for months before surgery, during the 3 weeks that I spent at Medilodge, until the day that I was discharged. Jackie was Johnny on the Spot in assisting me with my business obligations concerning copying, faxing, printing and emailing important deadline documents. Even, on the day that I was discharged, she printed out a FedEx label because I don’t have a printer at home which saved me $50 on a deadline return. I am so appreciative to Jackie for being there for me in every way. I attribute my recovery to the skilled Therapy Team who worked diligently with the Nursing Staff to ensure that my pain medication was scheduled which was vital for me to achieve maximum progress in therapy. Jen in Scheduling was so accommodating in scheduling my post surgery and dentist appointments. I send a warm shout out to the entire nursing assistants aides which are to many to name who were so compassionate and treated me like family. Chef Olivia went beyond the call of duty to personalize the meals that she and her kitchen team served to the residents. Medilodge spoiled me because the first thing that I missed when I got home was having my meals prepared and delivered to me. Thanks to JoAnn in housekeeping who helped me to finish packing and loaded my belongings on the luggage cart. Thankfully, she found clothing that I did not realize I had left on the top closet shelf. A grateful shout out to Bob the Nurses Assistant aide who found my pillow that I had brought from home and put on the luggage cart just before I left. Also, many thanks to Ericka at the front desk, who called me after I got home to inform me that I had left some mail in a drawer and that they would be forwarding it to me. I made many friends with the Country Club like atmosphere at Medilodge. For which, I am eternally grateful since Medilodge is literally going to be my home away from the house as I recover during the next year, from another hip surgery and 2 knee surgeries.

In conclusion, Ephesians 2:20 says “ Glory be to God! By His mighty power that works within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.” This promise prayer was more than answered during my exceptional recovery stay at Medilodge.

Sincerely,
Rennee Colette Hochstadt

I would like to recognize Kerri Georgia who works in the 400 Hall of the Alzheimer’s unit. My aunt Bernetta Brooks is a patient. When Kerri is in charge of Bernetta, she is so put together, clean and happy. I feel Kerri is the Epitome of how a caretaker should do their job. She seems so kind, gentle and genuine, for all these reasons I feel she deserves recognition.

The job of caregiving is sometimes thankless, and I am sure caregivers can become not as compassionate and caring on the job. It really makes Bernetta’s family feel so much better when we see her looking and feeling good. I bring my mom who is Bernetta’s older sister. She is 87 years young, and at times when she has seen her sister in not good condition; it really takes a toll on her emotionally. So I am so happy when we have a good visit.

So from all of Bernetta’s family members;
THANK YOU, KERRI for your EXCEPTIONAL CARE AND KINDNESS.

This is the best place! The whole team really stood out—especially Felisha and Jackie! This is the best VA building in Monroe! I am just so happy here.

The therapy team was great. All of the nurses were friendly and right there when you needed them.

I chose MediLodge of Monroe because my mother was here years ago and she was always pleased. The kitchen team and the rehab team really stood out to me. There was always plenty of good food and everyone was always helpful.

Medilodge came highly recommended from my sister in law who worked here for 24 years. All of the girls in the Physical Therapy department really stood out. I loved their happy faces and I will miss them. There are so many positive points in my stay. The therapy department is my favorite but the spirit of all the aides and nurses are beyond helpful. I would recommend this place tenfold!

Everything was nice and all the people are really nice. Some team members who really stood out were Brandy (Nurse), Tanetria, Baily Lauren, Mary, Mrs. Linda Fave, and Tassen. Everyone was good to me and I love all of these people, including the therapy people.

My aunt was placed here in March of 2017 and she said everyone is great and she’s very happy here. In nursing, John B. really stuck out. Everyone I’ve come in contact with from administration to dietary has been very professional and they make you feel like family.

“My father had excellent care here. Thank you for everything you did for him and our family. Medilodge has been great and did a lot to help us get our dad back home. Thank You to the wonderful nurses, staff and therapy.”

Medilodge is the most favorable, relaxing, warming, friendliest, pleasant nursing home I’ve ever been too.All the staff is so great here. Thank you for the wonderful care.”
