The staff is outstanding and very nice! I do not care for the smell in the building and it's not very warm and inviting but you can't except much when it's an old school. The care the residents get by the staff is above and beyond. As long as my dad is getting the care he needs, which he totally is, thats all I care about.

Medilodge has been a blessing to my dad! He wasn't able to stay in his house any longer and I know he is safe and cared for there. Bonnie in the office is so sweet and everyone has been helpful. It is near my house, so we can visit him. Thank you medilodge and staff! Kristin
