"These survey results are a great source of pride and satisfaction, as the survey measured what we do for our residents on a daily basis, around the clock, day in and day out, throughout the year.   This survey validates our continuing commitment to provide services to the highest standards in the industry.  We know the standards are high because, as this survey indicates, we set them."

 "I worked at several other places and this was just the best.  At Doolittle Home a nurse is able to spend the time with the residents to provide the best care."

"We have visited many facilities in Massachusetts and New York and nothing compares to Doolittle Home.  We did not worry about the quality of care for mother at all.  The staff was always helpful and they went out of their way to do little things to help her." 

-- Judy, about her mother Marjorie, a former Doolittle Home resident
