If I could give negative stars for a rating, I would. Based on my experience my opinion is this place is a death trap. I plead with you to avoid this facility at all costs. They killed my father. He had an pacemaker put in at a nearby hospital and was transferred to Medilodge of Munising for a week or two of physical therapy to regain his strength. My father had been in the hospital for about nine days so this made sense to us. He was met with hostility and negligence from the start at Medilodg. He repeatedly asked for help getting to the bathroom. No one came so he was forced to pee in a towel or on the bed frequently. They did not clean him and they refused to give him a bed pan or pee can telling him he would have to get to the bathroom himself. If he were able to do that, he wouldn't have needed to be at Medilodge for pt! He had no bed sores on admittance. When he left he had bed sores in his backside. The physical therapist was hostile and demanded he do exercises his cardiologist instructed him NOT to do. When father pointed this out the therapist said either do it or we'll write that you are refusing treatment then Your insurance will refuse to pay and we'll bill you directly. We pleaded with Medilodge NOT to falsify medical records. My father never refused treatmen. They also told him to get into bed from a chair. He asked for help. They refused and told him if he didn't get in the bed as he was told then they would record that he was refusing treatment. He didn't refuse! He only asked for help. When he could not get up without help they again stated that he was refusing treatment. The physical therapist came again and demanded he do the exercise the cardiologist told him not to do and if he didn't do it, then they record him as refusing treatment. They threatened to bill them the entire amount as insurance won't pay if Medilodge states my father refused treatment. My Dad was worried about his house being taken from him due to the financial/legal threat. So he tried to do what the physical therapist told him. That's when things completely tanked. After attempting the exercise he became I'll, his oxygen level dropped critically low then he was rushed to the hospital where he died. Within a few days Medilodge sent my mom paperwork to sign. They wanted my mom to sign papers that said she agreed not to sue them! They knew they killed him and were trying to protect themselves. A few months later my mom requested my Dad's medical records. Medilodge said they would only give them to her if she agreed not to sue them. That's illegal. 4 requests for medical records were made by our family and they refused. By law records must be provided within 30 days. They never did provide them to us. They falsified medical records. What else did they do to him that we don't know about? How many other deaths are they responsible for? He was only supposed to be there a short time. Due to the negligence of Medilodge my father ended up dead. They put making a dollar above all else even if that causes death. This is my opinion based on my experience with Medilodge of Munising. If you love your family member and want them to be treated with dignity and respect and you want them to live, do NOT go here. If your goal is to hasten their death, well then Medilodge of Munising likely is a good option--in my opinion. Shame on Medilodge! You've been warned. read more

I broke my ankle & leg and went to Tendercare in Munising, Michigan. During my stay there, I learned first hand why they we're rated a 5 star home. Almost every staff member there did their job above & beyond. They we're all so caring and compassionate. I enjoyed all the aides, therapists, activity staff, kitchen & janitorial, and in general everyone there. All of the workers we're 5 star to me with some shining stars such as: Britney, Laura, William, & Sarah. The nurses on my favorite list we're Penny, and Jim & his wife. All of physical & occupational therapists we're awesome. My stay was such a great experience that it felt more like a vacation. If you have a choice in the Marquette area, pick this facility. You won't be sorry. Thanks for the great care during my stay. Sincerely Rhonda Guijosa read more
