Holden Days 2024: Celebrating Fun, Friends, and Community Spirit!
Holden Days 2024 was an absolute blast! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate with our community. This annual event, organized by the Wachusett Area Chamber of Commerce, was filled with fantastic food, engaging entertainment, and plenty of opportunities to connect with friends and neighbors. We were thrilled to be part of it all!
A Big Thank You to the Wachusett Area Chamber of Commerce
First things first, a huge shoutout and thank you to the Wachusett Area Chamber of Commerce for putting together another unforgettable event. Their commitment to bringing our community together is truly remarkable, and Holden Days continues to be a highlight of the year thanks to their hard work and dedication. The Chamber is the heart of our region, fostering connections and creating opportunities for everyone.
The Oriol Health Care Team Was Glad to Be Part of the Fun
At Oriol Health Care, being active in our community is at the core of what we do, and Holden Days 2024 was no exception. Our team, including members from Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing, Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing, Oriol Home Health, Oriol Foundation, and Oriol Health Care Management, was out in full force. We had a fantastic time manning our booth, meeting new friends, and catching up with familiar faces.
The day was filled with so many highlights! We enjoyed grooving to the tunes of the Midnight Riders on the Main Stage in the morning, followed by the energetic beats of Decades by Dezyne in the afternoon. Over at the Bandstand, Screen Door kept the vibes going strong with their performance. The music added an extra layer of fun and energy to an already fantastic day.
Kids Court: A Hub of Joy, Laughter, and Excitement
The Kids Court was buzzing with energy, and we couldn’t be happier to see so many smiles! A huge shoutout to OnCue Entertainment for keeping the music lively throughout the day. The Reptile Shows of New England stole the show with their live animal “meet and greet” from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, where kids (and adults!) got up close and personal with some amazing creatures.
But the fun didn’t stop there! The Worcester County Model A Club had an impressive exhibit that took us all back in time, while the ninja obstacle course challenged kids to show off their agility. The Worcester Railers brought the excitement with their hockey shootout, and the dunk tank, crafts, and dance performances added even more joy to the day. Plus, who could resist a treat from the ice cream truck on such a beautiful day?
Our Ongoing Commitment to the Community Where We Live and Work
Our commitment to the community extends far beyond providing exceptional health care services. We believe in being active participants in the events that make our area so special, and supporting the Wachusett Area Chamber of Commerce is one of the many ways we do that. We’re proud to be part of such a dynamic and caring community and to contribute to its well-being.
At Oriol Health Care, we know the importance of community involvement, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s Holden Days! The countdown has officially begun.

Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing: Proudly Holding a Five-Star Quality Rating from CMS.gov
At Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center, an Oriol Health Care facility, we are proud to announce that we have achieved a Five-Star Quality Rating from CMS.gov (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) through their Care Compare program. This prestigious rating reflects our commitment to providing the highest standard of care to our residents. In this blog post, we will delve into what the Five-Star Quality Rating System entails, why it matters, and how Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing has earned this esteemed recognition.
Understanding the Five-Star Quality Rating System
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) developed the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily. The system assigns a rating between one and five stars to nursing homes, with five stars indicating the highest level of quality. The overall rating is based on three key domains:
- Health Inspections:
- This domain assesses the findings from state inspections over the past three years, focusing on health, fire safety, and emergency preparedness.
- Staffing:
- This rating evaluates the number of hours of care provided on average to each resident each day by nursing staff. A higher staffing level generally indicates better quality of care.
- Quality Measures:
- This area looks at various clinical data regarding the residents’ physical and clinical conditions, including their ability to perform daily activities and their general health status.
Why the Five-Star Quality Rating Matters
The Five-Star Quality Rating System serves as an important tool for families and caregivers seeking the best possible care for their loved ones. A five-star rating signifies excellence in health care services, ensuring peace of mind for families that their loved ones are in capable and caring hands. It also reflects a facility’s dedication to continuous improvement and adherence to the highest standards in health care.
