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.

On August 14, 2024, Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing achieved a remarkable milestone—earning a Deficiency-Free Status in the recent Recertification Survey conducted by the Department of Health & Human Services. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in care and our dedication to creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for our residents.
A Day of Celebration
To commemorate this incredible accomplishment, Oakdale hosted a day of celebration that brought together our staff, residents, and community. The festivities included a delightful BBQ, live music that filled the air with joy, and a special visit from Worcester’s beloved “Jerry’s Famous Soft-Serve,” adding a sweet touch to the day. It was a time to reflect on the hard work, dedication, and passion that made this achievement possible.
A Testament to Our Incredible Team
Achieving a Deficiency-Free Status is no small feat, and it would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our exceptional team. From our skilled nurses and physical therapists to our compassionate support staff, every member of the Oakdale family plays an integral role in delivering the highest standard of care to our residents.

“This accomplishment is a true testament to the dedication and professionalism of our entire team. Every day, our staff goes above and beyond to ensure that our residents receive the best possible care. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and even more proud of the people who made it happen.”
Our team’s commitment to continuous learning, attention to detail, and genuine care for our residents is the foundation of our success. They are the heart and soul of Oakdale, and this recognition belongs to them as much as it does to the facility itself.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this significant milestone, we also look forward to the future with renewed energy and determination. Our commitment to upholding the highest standards of care remains steadfast, and we are excited about the opportunities to further enhance the quality of life for our residents.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of our journey toward excellence in healthcare. Together, we will continue to make Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing a place where residents thrive, feel at home, and experience the very best in care.
