The fact that Patrick Dooley at OEC is an expert in the senior living industry...he also has years of experience in executive and operation roles to know what is needed in the industry to help other operators save time and money.

With attention to detail and a passion for the people around him, Patrick is instrumental with the people he surrounds himself with and how that impacts the mission for the customer and company. I would recommend Patrick to any group looking for OEC’s services because the value he provides is priceless.
