Castleberry honored at Westview
DAYVILLE — Hayleah Castleberry merited recognition as Westview’s Employee of the Month for February 2026. As a Certified Nursing Assistant at Westview Health Care Center, Hayleah forms essential connections with patients and residents across their continuum of care. While the responsibilities are considerable—requiring both physical effort and emotional awareness—she approaches each day with a steady commitment to her patients and her team.
Teamwork is central to her approach. She values the cohesion of her nursing unit; noting that communication is the foundation of their success.
She grew up in Moosup and attended Norwich Technical High School. She earned her CNA certification directly through an accelerated program at Norwich Tech. She entered the healthcare workforce upon graduation; building a strong foundation of experience over her five years at Westview thus far.
Meaningful moments of care are often on display at Westview, and one such interaction recently reflected Hayleah’s humility and unassuming dedication. At the end of a full day’s activities in assisting a resident, she was met with a simple but heartfelt expression of gratitude as the resident expressed her appreciation for Hayleah and the nursing team, telling her “Thank you for today—you did great!”
Outside of work, sheh enjoys spending time with family and embracing the natural beauty of New England. She lives in Putnam with her boyfriend, William, and remains closely connected to her family across the Windham County region. Whether visiting New England beaches (Rocky Neck State Park in Niantic is a favorite), exploring regional hiking trails, or competing in spirited family game nights, Hayleah values quality time spent with those closest to her. Monopoly competitions, in particular, are known to frequently spark lively rivalries whenever the board is set.
Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos said: “Hayleah’s commitment to her patients’ care, her reliability as a teammate, and her ability to foster meaningful connections make her an invaluable member of our nursing team.”
