Medilodge is a great place to care for your loved ones when it's time to do so. Staff was very nice and the place was very clean. The head of housekeeping must be doing a great job and keeping up and working with the staff within, keep up the great work! Great atmosphere all around!

I am/was a resident of this facility

I was a patient for rehabilitation following a stroke. I frequently had to wait extended periods of time to use the bathroom. The room was not cleaned, and there were numerous dead insects covering the bathroom floor. Poor care lead to a skin infection. Many residents were observed to be "Parked" in wheelchairs in the Hallways for hours at a time without any interactions or changes in position. Nurses frequently gave medications that were as needed even when not requested and insisted that they be taken. The therapy program did not address skills of daily living or functional life skills. They failed to plan properly for discharge, causing a situation where there will be several weeks without medically necessary braces to prevent contractors even though their usage was a goal of therapy. There are much better facilities very nearby.

The staff is very friendly and care a lot about the residents. The therapy team is great and very encouraging. The building is very clean and well maintained. They treat the visitors and residents like family.

Awful care. My Mom was basically ignored the whole time she was there. I had to feed her or she would have starved to death. I do not recommend this place to anyone unless you want them to die.

I had an elderly parent stay for short term rehab, due to an injury. Parent is in early stages of dementia. All patients staying g at facility are considered to be fall risks, and are placed in wheelchairs. Facility has no bed alarms, which would benefit individual units. Facility is severely short staffed, has lack of medical and linen supplies. The staff that are employed there are efficient in their duties, and appreciate any family input.

I am a friend or relative of resident

My loved one suffered a stroke and went to Medilodge for rehab. We are looking for a new home for him due to poor care and terrible communication between nurses and staff, doctors and staff, staff and staff, and staff and families. They do not encourage residents to have a routine to attempt a normal life, and they do NOTHING to encourage independence of the residents. They will not allow any form of restraint (safety belt for wheel chair, bed rails) yet they refuse to allow their staff to use of a commode chair due to "safety" concerns. My loved one is fully aware and can communicate toileting needs, and simple want s to maintain some dignity and use a toilet, yet the staff refuse to assist him. They instruct him to go in his diaper, or they simply ignore him long enough so he can't hold it any longer. He has terrible rashes and pain on his bottom because he sits in his soiled garments sometimes for hours day after day. He has no toileting schedule for staff assistance, no consistency, nothing of the sort, and struggles to gain attention to address his needs constantly. The aides and nursing staff are mostly kind and caring people, but they are understaffed, under trained, and mismanaged. There are no systems in place for communicating needs or fostering routines and independence of the residents. My loved one sits in his wheel chair alone most of the time, trying to scooch out of his seat because his bottom is raw and painful. He is not taken to activities or offered tools for simple hygiene needs (toothbrush, shaver, comb). He continuously has food served to him that is inappropriate for his health needs. Medilodge port Huron is a holding cell basically for people who have needs beyond what their loved ones can manage at their own homes. Management needs to clean house!

my aunt has only been there for 1 month, I have found the staff to be exceptional, I have yet to go there and see any patient upset or sitting alone. The staff always make eye contact when speaking to a patient. Whenever I phone in the nurses always take time to speak to me and reassure me that all is well, i never feel they are rushed to get me off the phone.
