Park Village Health Care Center
A Family Tradition of Serving the Community For More Than 70 Years
The O'Donnell Family is proud to say that we've been serving the community for more than 70 years. During that time, Park Village Health Care Center has grown from a three-story house on 6th Street in Dover with 20 employees to two continuing care retirement communities located in Dover and New Philadelphia, employing more than 300. Today, Park Village continues to provide top quality elder care to our community under the leadership and guidance of the O'Donnell Family.
