WELCOME TO WACHUSETT

The Wachusett Respiratory Program was established over 20 years ago by the Oriol Family. A new state-of-the-art unit was built for this program in 2013 within Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center. The Wachusett neighborhood was designed specifically for respiratory care with input from long-term staff members and residents considered.

Testimonials

“Oriol Health Care is our home away from home. My husband and I have seen nothing but exceptional care for our son since day one. As daily visitors, we are always greeted by staff from all departments. We are very happy with our son’s care. Thank you Oriol Health Care!” Tim’s Family

“This facility has it all. From the food to the activity programs, I have not had a day with nothing to do! I have found it therapeutic to take part in the painting class at least twice a week. I have also experienced new foods (thanks to the dietary department). My husband has been appreciative of the guest trays for lunch. Wachusett Respiratory Care goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease.” Carol B.

Our family would like to thank all that Oriol Health Care has done and continues to do for us. With the 24 hour care from nursing on top of the social engagement from activities, we feel that this place has kept our family closer. The location for therapy (as well as the building itself) is ideal and remotely close for our family. Wachusett has done great at empathizing for us all.” Kim’s Family

Our Family Taking Care of Yours
