In the most recent survey by the Massachusetts Department of Health, Doolittle Home received the highest rating in Massachusetts for personal care provided to our residents and top ranking for our physical environment. In addition, we received top recognition for food service and meals and the second highest ranking for administration and personal care staff.
According to Joanne Pratt, President, "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."
