When I left the hospital after having a broken hip replaced, I could not do anything. The therapy department at MediLodge of Monroe is one of the reasons I wanted to go there. The therapy here is excellent. The people that give me therapy are very kind and understanding. Now that I am almost ready to go home, I have learned the proper way to use a walker without being afraid of it. I am also getting stronger! I would like to thank the team in therapy for everything they have done for me.

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.

"I've been here several times! I know most of the aides. I always recommend this place to people because of the care that I get when I am here. Thank you!"

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.

After hearing several recommendations from the community I chose Medilodge of Monroe for my rehabilitation home. I am impressed with the high quality of care, costumer service & nutritional meals. The Occupational & Physical Therapy Department is outstanding, they have been crucial to my recovery. My thanks to Medilodge of Monroe!

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!
