Medilodge of Sterling

When I arrived at Medilodge of Sterling, in August, I felt like my life was just hanging by a thread. I was in the process of signing up for palliative care and was expecting to die. I felt that would be my only release from the debilitating pain, was discouraged, and saw no hope of recovery. The excellent therapy team at Medilodge did not give up on me. They worked tirelessly and applauded each small victory. Words can’t express how grateful I am for the incredible team here in Sterling. The nurses, doctors, CNAs, therapists, dining staff, activities staff, office staff, etc., have all worked hard to restore my health and turn my despair into hope. Encouraging me continuously and making me smile again. I have so much to be thankful for and will never forget the beautiful souls that genuinely cared and restored my strength and hope. They truly show a spirit of excellence.

We chose MediLodge of Sterling for my therapy rehab needs because it was close to home. We were surprised upon arrival to find that this building is all private rooms!  Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. I was given excellent care during my stay. My wife was able to join me for meals for a small fee, which we enjoyed. We would recommend MediLodge of Sterling to anyone in need of short term or long term care.

My wife chose MediLodge of Sterling for my therapy because she wanted me closer to home. The team members who stood out most to me are both Kim and Lisa from therapy, they were both great! I had a very good stay at your center. I would recommend MediLodge of Sterling to my friends and family.

Heard this was the place to go and my family lives in Sterling. My doctor wanted me to come here too, so I felt safe. All of my therapists worked so hard to get me better; I can not complain about one single person. It is very clean here and I love that. I enjoyed playing Bingo and loved the day Brittany played Yahtzee with me. I might just have to come back on Bingo days to play with my new friends!

The reason I chose this center is that Sterling was the closest place to my home. All the staff at the center were equal, always very careful and polite with me. MediLodge of Sterling is a very good place to be for anyone needing rehabilitation!

The reason I chose this center is because my daughter suggested it after she heard about it from friends that had came here. Jeanie from housekeeping really stood out to me here. She socialized with me everyday and cleaned my room so well. Everyone was very kind in helping me to get better so I can go home after two weeks of therapy.

I chose MediLodge of Sterling primarily for physical therapy and because the staff treated me so well last year when I was a resident. My husband even wanted me to come back here. I want to give a special shoutout to Lyndsay (Social Services), Karin (Admissions and Marketing), and the entire physical therapy team as they were professional, caring, and polite during my time here. There are so many things I love about this place. The food is really good – I love the chef salads! Most importantly, during my time here I was able to lift my leg for the first time all year. I can thank therapy at MediLodge of Sterling for that!

I have family and friends who have worked at MediLodge of Sterling for several years and the facility is very close to home, so I felt comfortable in choosing to come here to heal. When I first arrived at MediLodge, I could not get out of bed without assistance. Two months later, I am now strong enough to stand, dress, myself, walk, and return home confidently. Everyone here went above and beyond. The therapy team was exceptional while working with me and the CNAs took incredible care of me. My entire family and I felt very comfortable during my stay.

I chose MediLodge of Sterling because one of my family members received great care here a few months ago. During my short time here I became very impressed with the energy of each staff member and grew to love everyone who cared for me. MediLodge of Sterling has a home-like feeling. I was very comfortable during my stay. I will definitely be back after my next knee replacement. Also, the food is delicious!

I chose MediLodge of Sterling because I have lived right down the road from the building for several years, therefore I am conveniently close to home. During my stay at MediLodge of Sterling, I spent most of my time with the therapy department. They were very pleasant and personable and worked around my preferred schedule for therapy. I would even visit with them during my free time.

I was a resident of MediLodge of Sterling previously and I said that if I ever have to go anywhere again, it will be here! Every team member and department stood out to me. Chris (CNA) took care of me here a year and a half ago and when he walked into my room this time, he gave me a big ole hug! It just warmed my heart that he remembered me.

“Everybody is so friendly. The therapists are excellent and I’m thankful they pushed me so hard so that I can go home. I’m very picky and MediLodge of Sterling exceeded my expectations.”

I chose MediLodge of Sterling for my loved one because of their physical therapy, personal visitation, and cleanliness. Every department was outstanding but the nurses and aides were fantastic! Especially Chris, Crystal, Shelia, Katherine, and Andrea. The therapy group under Danette’s leadership were very professional and accomplished a great deal for Mary Ellen. Bonita made certain that all of our nursing concerns were addressed.

I chose MediLodge of Sterling for my loved one because it was close to her children. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Things were taken care of swiftly. Peace of mind was always in the forefront. Mom had no complaints.

I wanted to check out the therapy, which is great! Great therapy. Their department was personalized, encouraging, and one-on-one. They treated me like I was family. The food here is excellent! The aides and nurses are very good. The entire staff is just so friendly. I felt like a part of the family!

Honestly, I originally chose Standish Rehabilitation but they didn’t accept me and my insurance. But I saw in many ways that MediLodge of Sterling was chosen for me by God, and I am so glad! This place was perfect for me. All of the staff was absolutely wonderful but there were some that stood out and I connected with because of their sincerity, love, care, cheery personality & encouragement:
Meredith, Cathy. Wendy, Tiffany, Carol, Mariann, Kathy, Tonya, Mary, Jeanine, Brenda, Sheila, Ashley, Janet, Lindsay, Crystal, Mary Moorer, Shanna, Denise, Jeanette, Cathy Clark, & the therapists Amy, Megan, Shannon, & Laura. I am very thankful for God leading me to MediLodge. It was very hard to be away from my loving husband & my son, Isaac. Isaac is a Mamma’s boy and it has been hard on him not having me home. The wonderful skilled and loving staff at this awesome facility has taken great care if me, encouraged me to work hard in therapy, and helped keep me smiling. They kept my spirits up! Our son is autistic and epileptic, and also has cerebral palsy so with everyone at Medilodge of Sterling helping me heal from this knee replacement, it will in turn help me greatly care for Isaac’s needs. I love MediLodge and I am excited to come back as a volunteer.

I choose MediLodge of Sterling because I’d heard a lot over the years about this place. The aides have all been true angels during my stay, giving me terrific care! Very welcoming and clean place. If I ever needed to be in a nursing home again, this is where I would return.

I chose MediLodge of Sterling because I wanted to be close to home and family. The hospital wanted to send me downstate and I wanted to be here. I wanted to thank everyone on the team-

MediLodge of Sterling seemed like the right choice for myself as it seemed to be a place that I could get stronger. Now I can stand and take steps! I pretty much enjoyed everyone and everything. I liked the crafting and enjoyed the baking class here.

I chose MediLodge of Sterling for myself because my physician recommended it. Amy, the LPN, really stood out and Pam is a go-getter! The therapy people stuck out as well. I’ll miss the people here that I have met. It’s very nice and clean. It always smells fresh and not like other places I have been before.

I chose MediLodge of Sterling because the hospital thought it would be the best fit, and it turns out, they were right! Terry (CNA) and Brenda (LPN) in wound care stood out to me. I received excellent care and I mean that. I don’t know what I would’ve done without them. Everybody was so nice and caring. The care was very good, a very clean center, the building was designed beautifully, and everyone was exceptionally nice to my family.

I chose MediLodge of Sterling for my rehab because of the great care that my mother-in-law received while here. I can now state that I received the best therapy also!

“This is the best place I have been and the only place I’d ever go for post-surgical therapy.”

“My CNA’s were fabulous, especially Sheila, Theresa, and Becki.”

“I recommend MediLodge of Sterling to everyone I know for therapy. I had a double knee replacement and toured four facilities before choosing MediLodge, specifically for their therapy department. I met all of my therapy goals and while I was on a recent cruise, I was able to wear high-heeled shoes. Thank you, MediLodge!”

“Best care I have ever received. I am having another orthopedic surgery in two months and I will be returning to MediLodge, again, for my therapy.”
