DAYVILLE — U.S. Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-2) recently visited the construction site for Country Living at Westview Commons, an independent and assisted living facility.
The new 75-unit facility is under construction and slated for an autumn 2020 opening. Congressman Courtney toured the site with David T. Panteleakos, administrator of Westview Health Care Center and executive vice president and co-owner of Country Living at Westview Commons, and Donna Copeland, executive director for Country Living at Westview Commons.
When completed, the facility will be a 115,000-square foot building including 75 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom living units encompassing up to 1086 square feet. There’s also a large Great Room for dining, entertainment, a movie theater, beauty parlor, café, an Irish styled pub, a Family Gathering Center, physician office space and even an indoor parking garage.
The facility is part of the Westview Commons property that encompasses a 32-acre campus that includes; Westview Health Care Center, two outpatient centers for aquatic and sports medicine therapy, Country Living at Westview Commons and newly constructed model units at 124 Ware Road.
After the tour, Congressman Courtney discussed with the Westview leadership team the Oct. 1, 2019, changes to the Medicare program for skilled nursing facilities nationwide. “We are truly grateful to Congressman Courtney for taking the time to visit with us and for listening to how the decisions being made in Washington are affecting our seniors, residents, family members and health care professionals,” said Panteleakos.
“I will also say that since his election to the House of Representatives in 2006, Congressman Courtney has visited Westview several times and has always made himself available to us to listen, which we greatly appreciate.”
