Doolittle Home is Very Pleased to Announce That Our Retirement Community has Earned a Perfect, Deficiency-Free Survey Result from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH)

FOXBORO, MA, December 30, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Doolittle Home, located in Foxboro, MA, is very pleased to announce that our Retirement Community has earned a perfect, deficiency-free survey from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH). The deficiency -free rating is a result of the State's rigorous 3 day examination which ended on October 13th, 2011 and is one of the top indicators of excellence for long term care facilities.

They evaluated our facility for quality, safety, administration effectiveness, cleanliness, nursing care, activity programs, protection of resident rights, and food services. During the last three years, the department found only 17 out of 431 nursing facilities deficiency-free.

With increasingly stringent regulations, achieving the deficiency-free rating is exceedingly difficult. These surveys, and the subsequent ratings, are a useful tool for prospective and current residents; their families and health care practitioners, to make informed choices about the quality of a long term care facility.

It takes an entire team effort to achieve this distinguished rating. DeAnna Willis, Executive Director with the continuous efforts of the entire staff, including activities, maintenance, housekeeping, dietary, and our professional medical staff, collaborate daily to provide extraordinary care, which is the hallmark of the Doolittle Experience.

In addition, according to the 2009-2010 survey of 430 long-term care facilities released by the Massachusetts Department of Health, Doolittle Home received the following outstanding ratings. Doolittle Home ranked #1 in the latest state satisfaction survey as 1-Highest ranking for personal care 2-Top recognition for food service 3-Top ranking for physical facility 4- Second highest rating Administration & Staff.

Doolittle Home, recognized as a not for profit home, is licensed for 32 residents, by MA Department of Public Health to serve the elderly.

What began as a rest home, 96 years ago by Sarah Doolittle for Foxboro Straw Hat factory workers and their families, Doolittle Home has evolved into a bed and breakfast-like with a medical component home-providing top of the line care to Foxboro area residents.

"The staff always treats me as if I were the most important person here," quotes a Doolittle Home resident. "If I can't be at home, Doolittle Home is the next best place to be."
