To the Westview Wayfinders, our Limitless Lighthouses:

Life is a voyage, and it helps to know where to find safe harbor. At Westview, this port is not a place, it is people. It is family—a dedicated team that shines a guiding light for every patient, resident, and student who comes aboard.

This week, we gaze out at the horizon and see your radiance, clear and true. You stand on the precipice of care, shining a beacon that cuts through the mists of uncertainty and guides every patient, resident, and student to a place of safe anchorage. Your responsibilities at Westview Health Care Center, Country Living at Westview Commons, and Westview Child Care Center are great. Your impact is immeasurable.

In every act of kindness, every moment of expertise, every tender turn of care, you are a torchbearer. In your collective efforts, you are a constellation of stars, illuminating the path forward. During Westview Employee Appreciation Week 2025, we honor the incredible luminaries who light the Westview way. Thank you for your brilliance and for being the soul of this radiant community.

Friend of Westview Commons and pool enthusiast Bob Madenjian set up in our corner to offer a demonstration to residents. This was his second such visit, with all interested Westview Commons residents invited to attend. Dr. Bob (as he is known to his Veterinary patients) stopped by to entertain us with trick shots and educate us about the strategic aspects of the game. After showcasing several tricks, Bob opened the table to oversee a match between a pair of residents and provide coaching tips. Thanks for taking a BREAK with us Bob!

Residents Build Strength and Confidence at Weekly Athletic Training Class with Westview’s Tom Halley

Every Wednesday morning from 10 to 11 a.m., residents at Westview Commons are moving, stretching, and building strength—thanks to a dynamic and engaging athletic training class led by one of Westview Health Care Center- Sports Medicine's very own Certified Athletic Trainer, Tom Halley.

What began over three years ago as a simple lecture on balance and fall recovery has evolved into one of the most popular wellness offerings at the facility. “Initially, the class was meant to be more educational,” Tom shared. “But the residents were really hoping for something more active—so we pivoted.”

Since that early shift, Tom has crafted a thoughtful, full-body program that blends strength, balance, and functional movements tailored specifically for older adults. “These are exercises that help residents in their daily lives—whether it’s reaching for a cabinet, standing up from a chair, or walking with better balance and confidence,” he explains.

Designed with safety and accessibility in mind, Tom encourages residents to participate at their own pace. “You don’t have to do everything I do. It’s about listening to your body, doing what you’re capable of, and stopping when you need to.”

Beyond the physical benefits, the class has become a hub of community connection and support. “We usually have 10 to 15 residents join us weekly, and sometimes even up to 18. It’s wonderful to see that kind of turnout,” Tom says. “Residents have told me they feel stronger, their balance has improved, and they’re even performing better in other activities, like yoga.”

Thanks to Tom’s thoughtful instruction and the supportive environment he’s cultivated, residents are not just exercising—they’re thriving.
