Reflecting on National Skilled Nursing Care

I chose MediLodge of GTC because I was recommended by a nurse at the hospital. The nurses and my area team members were just super! Always thoughtful and caring, no waiting when they were needed. A nice smile too - helps yourself feel much better. A great crew works here for sure. This is a nice place if you need a place to go. The social workers were very helpful. Meds were always prompt. Just a thanks for all from me. Therapy was just super. I enjoyed going every day. No problem. People there were very caring at all times.

The staff is caring and attentive and the building was neat and clean.

I heard it was a good rehab center and it is close to my niece's house. Was there any specific team member or department that stood out? No one person stood out. Everyone was special in their own way. I never had to wait more than 5 mins when I had pushed the call button. That means a lot to me.

The staff here is very caring, which is so important. Caroline, Tammy, Jerri, Amber, Ryan, Christina (nurse), Sarah (nurse), and Ernie really stood out! They are all very attentive, cheerful, and knowledgable. The nurses are excellent as well, and I'm very happy with the care here.

I have had experience with other facilities in the area. After a tour from Melissa and the obvious personal care shown here, it became our first choice. Melissa made the transition seamless. Heidi obviously is an excellent leader. Jan & Tina were nurses that made us feel like "people," not "patients." Diane was upfront. If life brings you to the need for this care, MediLodge is the 5-star choice. The personal care of each and every staff makes your recovery seem like you're being cared for by loving family.

This is the second time my family has brought my 90+ mother to this facility. My father passed here 10 years ago and our care even then was impeccable. There is no "perfect" nursing home, but in comparison to The Victorian Inn and The Pavilions, the care, concern, humor, family atmosphere of Medilodge of GTC outranks them all. Mind you, people get out of life what they put into it, so because of our positive attitude, we very often are treated with the highest respect. We are also very attentive to our parents, visiting them on a regular basis, keeping track of their daily progress. I would highly recommend you meet with Heidi and the gang here to see the warmth, camaraderie, and family atmosphere!

"The therapy is great, they helped me get my strength back, which helped me get my independence back."

All of the departments work well together with one common goal, to keep our residents safe, happy and healthy. Anyone of the staff will be there for another staff member whether at work or off work like they were there for me when my husband had cancer and passed at home. I could count on any staff to assist me, and they did too!

The reason I chose this center is that it was recommended as being the best-skilled nursing home to help (my loved one) Helen with her medical problems. There are too many specific team members to mention that showed Barabara such care and compassion. Even as her dementia deepened, they treated her with loving care. Having had family members in other nursing homes, I noticed that it was always clean, smelled fresh, and that was always nursing staff working to help the residents.

On behalf of Treva Jaffe's family, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the excellent care she received in the last weeks of her life. All of you responsible for her daily care were so beautiful, attentive, and compassionate towards her, which is why she liked it so well. This was a true gift to our family, and truthfully a bit of a surprise! We had tried for two years to get her into some sort of facility, and she fought us tooth and nail. Some of you have the battle scars to remind you of just how stubborn she could be when she didn't want to do something! So for her to be so content and extremely complimentary of the staff speaks volumes about the fantastic and vital work you do every day. It takes special people to do what you do, and I just wanted you to know how very much it was appreciated.
