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.

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 I live about 4 miles from here and was born and raised in the county. This is the first time in 83 years that I needed to be hospitalized and complete rehab. I was scared at first but the staff helped me, answered my questions, and made me feel comfortable. Therapy encouraged me to get strong and work hard. Everyone was very nice to me, treated me right and made me laugh. The environment was very comfortable. If I ever need help again this will be my first choice. Thank you to everyone!

I chose Medilodge of Sterling for myself because at the time it was the only center close to me with a bed open. I am so thankful. The dietary department treated us very well. Bob and Michelle were both fantastic! Everyone was very nice here.

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.

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- You are all my family and this place has been great. I want to go home because I'm better but I don't because I will miss everyone! Without you guys I wouldn't be going home. I recommend this place to everybody.

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!
