Meet the Assistant Director of Nursing: Madeline Lover

I want to thank Natasha and the staff so much for everything you did for my Mom, Jil. Everyone went above and beyond. Especially Natasha taking my calls on the weekend. Everyone was there in our time of need. You helped us so much when we needed someone to guide us. We didn't know what to do next with decisions in the medical field and you made everything go so smoothly. We will forever be thankful for YOU. My Mom is doing much better after her two week stay.  

The reason we chose MediLodge of Howell is because they helped us through the process from the first referral from the hospital and we felt welcomed from the get-go. Lisa, Kathy, Jennifers (Rose), Dan and Darren (Daisy), Tika, (CNA Aide), Leilini, Kate, Stacie, Joey, Natasha, Wendy, Maria (Housekeeping) were all team members that stood out during my aunt’s stay. Everyone went above and beyond with kindness and compassion for our aunt.

“Medilodge has become my home away from home. I have Multiple Sclerosis which makes it impossible for me to always remain safely at home. Every time I return I see the same smiling faces, my second family. The entire team from the therapists to the chef work together to customize programs that fit my needs. I am valued, respected and treated with dignity. Medilodge is a beautiful facility that always exceeds my expectations."

To the staff at MediLodge, thank you to all of you. Especially the occupational and physical therapy departments for all of your help. Thank you for the kindness you gave to me while I was staying at your facility.

I was assigned to MediLodge of Howell after leaving the hospital. The staff made me feel like I may have played a small role in their future by opening up to me. Kelly was particularly hard working, loves being a nurse, and always says hi to everyone!

“As you might imagine, Medilodge of Howell staffers can regale you with lots of stories illustrating the reliability of our nursing care and rehabilitation therapy. Fortunately, so can our patients. And they do – frequently, at length, and enthusiastically! We’ll let their testimonials speak for themselves. There are more where these come from, too. If you’re researching who can best provide for your recovery or rehabilitation, contact Medilodge of Howell to get additional feedback on the services we provide. The excellent therapy I received made it possible for me to return home in just nine days! The Medilodge staff is top notch, from housekeeping, dietary, nursing and the therapy employees. I especially liked the delicious meals, giving you lots of choices and variety. I was very impressed at the overall cleanliness of the facility and very happy to have an on-site beauty shop. I enjoyed great conversations with all the people at Medilodge and plan to stay in touch with all my new friends!”

Hello, my name is Catherine. I've had the pleasure of being cared for by the Howell Medilodge staff and physical therapy specialists. My journey began last year when I was admitted twice to the Howell medilodge. The first time was January 2019. I was in a bad accident involving multiple injuries. My foot was severely broken. With a lot of hard work and an excellent staff, I was able to go home in June 2019. Unfortunately, a severe and aggressive infection caused my foot to be amputated in December 2019. I knew that the Howell Medilodge could and would provide a skillful environment for physical therapy and healing. Getting ready for a prosthetic leg and foot has been challenging, and the daily physical therapy as been very difficult. All made possible by the kind supportive staff here at the Howell MedilodgeI would definitely recommend the Howell Medilodge to friends and family. I'm finally going home with confidence in my new prosthetic leg. Thank you, Team Howell, for all you have done and continue to do! Catherine

I came here because I was in a car accident and my leg was broken. I couldn't go home due to my injuries. The therapists helped me walk again and regain my strength. While I was here, I lost my balance and fell, but the therapist helped me increase my balance and safety so I could get back home independently with everything I needed.

This is the first bone I've broken in 7 years. I don't remember falling, but I was told I tripped over the dog's bed, and I must have hit my head. When I got to the hospital, I didn't even know my name. It took about 3-4 days for me to start to remember things. I came to MediLodge from the hospital because they didn't want me to go straight home. I have several clients and family members who have stayed at MediLodge and recommended I come here for the excellent care. Since I've been at MediLodge, I've been working at getting stronger, so it will be easier to take care of myself when I get home. Everybody at MediLodge was friendly and kind. I would recommend MediLodge!

I want to say that I am very happy with Medilodge of Howell. Natasha really made things happen for my Father. He was at a facility in Detroit. The conditions of the facility was poor. He was sleeping in a broken bed. He lost a lot of weight, because they feed him very little. Natasha really fought for him, without her I don't believe we would have been able to move him at all. I am so grateful for all she has done for my Father and family. My life is better because of her help. We seriously needed to find long term care for him Close to home. Natasha was our families’ champion she fought for him and believed in him and our family. Natasha and Medilodge Of Howell really helped getting him what he needed. Thank You Natasha and Medilodge of Howell Traci Powell
