Today marks the start of CNA Week 2025, and at Oriol Health Care, we’re proud to celebrate the Certified Nursing Assistants who are the backbone of our care teams. This year’s theme, “We Are the Champions,” says it best—our CNAs are true champions of compassion, connection, and clinical excellence.
They show up every day with strength, patience, and a deep sense of purpose. From our Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Centers to Oriol Home Health, they support our mission of “our family taking care of yours” in every interaction.
Why CNAs Deserve the Spotlight
Our CNAs are more than caregivers—they are listeners, advocates, and problem-solvers. They help residents and clients feel seen, heard, and cared for. Whether it’s assisting with daily routines or simply offering a reassuring presence, their impact is profound.
Their work ensures comfort and dignity for individuals across the Wachusett Region and Worcester County. In hospitals, homes, and long-term care settings, CNAs bring stability and strength to every environment.
The Heart of Oriol’s 60+ Year Tradition
Oriol Health Care has been family-owned and operated since 1964. Our long-standing tradition is rooted in personalized, professional care—delivered with heart. From Holden and Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Centers to Oriol Home Health and Oriol Therapy Services, CNAs remain central to our Oriol 360° continuum of care.
Their loyalty, resilience, and compassion keep that legacy strong.
“CNAs are the heart of everything we do,” says Nathan Oriol, Administrator at Oriol Home Health. “They bring warmth and dignity to the people we serve.”
“It’s more than a job—it’s a relationship,” adds Dee Walsh, Clinical Manager. “Our CNAs form real bonds with patients and families, and that’s where healing happens.”
Recognizing Our Champions This Week
We’re celebrating all week long—through recognition events, shoutouts, and small acts of appreciation across our facilities. If you know a CNA who’s made a difference in your life or the life of a loved one, now’s the perfect time to say thank you.
To our CNAs: We see you. We value you. And we are deeply grateful.
