DAYVILLE — For the 12th consecutive year, Westview Health Care Center, a 103 bed inpatient and outpatient skilled nursing facility has once again been reported to be among America’s Best Nursing Facilities in the U.S. with a 5 Star overall rating, according to US News & World Report and The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The ratings come from the federal government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Nursing Home Compare data on over 15,500 nationwide Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes in the country. CMS sets and enforces standards for nursing homes enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid nationally. The facility’s overall rating is geared to its performance in state conducted health and fire safety inspections, nurse and therapy staffing, and quality of medical care. Westview has remained one of the United States’ Best 5 Star overall rated facilities since the inception of the US News and World Report published article 12 years ago and since the inception of the CMS 5 star ratings program.
Additionally, Westview is one of only seven nursing facilities in Connecticut and the only facility in Windham, Tolland, New Haven and Litchfield counties to achieve a perfect 5 star rating in every category from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for staffing levels, quality indicators, inspection results and fire safety inspections as of Jan. 1. The facility is also the highest staffed facility for nursing and therapies in Windham County and ranked the 16th highest staffed nursing facility in the State of Connecticut.
“This mark of distinction is a direct reflection of the dedication and work ethic of our remarkable team of health care professionals,” said Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos. “This National achievement would not be possible without our amazing staff; and we will continue to work hard in order to provide a better quality of life for the patients and residents we serve, who are the ultimate beneficiaries of our efforts.”
