Employee Appreciation Week

      The team of talented personnel at Westview succeeds with aplomb by celebrating their roles and responsibilities constantly. Thusly, the Westview organization is sure to dedicate a full week to applaud their victories and pay homage to their challenges every year—known to Westview staff as Employee Appreciation Week. Between Monday, August 26th and Friday, August 30th, gratuities were paid, swag was given, and smiles shone abundantly throughout Westview’s Dayville, CT campus. During this year’s celebration, equal honors rested upon the sturdy shoulders of Westview Health Care Center, Westview Outpatient and Aquatic Therapy, Westview Sports Medicine, Country Living at Westview Commons, and Westview Child Care Center. Today, Westview is proud to have over 315 teammates across all of these rosters. Westview Executive Vice President David T. Panteleakos wanted to be certain that every soul that wears a Westview badge felt the gratitude of every colleague, vendor, resident, patient, and family member connected with the facilities.

      Praising the entire Westview family, David T. Panteleakos commented about his joy in working alongside the individual contributors and the entire community that forms their team. “I am so proud of our group of graceful, generous, and dedicated individuals that make up this amazing brigade of Westview personnel. It is very important to me that we take the time to showcase our successes and thank our most valuable assets: our astonishing staff! Even during the most trying times, this cadre of professional providers bestow their best care and contributions to our patients, residents, clients, and friends. We greatly appreciate their hard work and honest efforts that lead to the patient population entrusted to our care. Congratulations to all of our honorees, and cheers to the future triumphs in the coming years!”

      Sister Noble practices her devout work in India as well as during her time here in the United States. Patients, residents, and staff at Westview really appreciate Sister Noble’s special way of delivering care—especially during the precious hours of the overnight shift. She remarked: “I really enjoy the people that I work with because we all work together. On the night shift, I find that we make a great team. It’s always teamwork that gets us through the evening, and I know that I can trust all of my staff. I have confidence in every one of my colleagues—from the other nurses to our Certified Nursing Assistants. I always get great support from the rest of the staff. I feel so comfortable working here because I know there is always someone there for me too.”

      During her off time, Sister Noble enjoys gardening, cooking, and baking as a strong passion. Sister Noble likes to listen to music—especially with bedridden patients. She will go in and listen to music with them, and hold their hands as a means of offering additional compassion to the medical aid she provides. She has a sibling, Sister Brigit Pulickudiyil, and she enjoys their time together during pastimes and prayers.

      Her heart is full of love for the patients whose care is entrusted to her. “Sometimes the patients are feeling down, and I will talk to them to help them feel more comfortable. Recently I had a patient and the first night she was with us she was very unsure of her condition and prognosis. I told her that in the early stages of her treatment, things may go up and down but you will feel better tomorrow. She later told me that our conversation on her first night here made her commit to her own full recovery and she was very thankful.” She went on further about her commitment to helping others:

      “I believe very strongly that the secret to all of my success, especially in healthcare, is the background of prayer. Without failing, every single day, I offer all of my patients, colleagues, and this facility to take God’s hand and to help them in caring for others. I feel strong grace in every situation—whether it is small or critical. I also get true joy by bringing Holy Communion to the patients who wish to receive it. I am blessed to have this role in patients’ lives!”

      Westview Administrator and Executive Vice President David T. Panteleakos spoke highly of Sister Noble’s impact at Westview Health Care Center. “We are blessed to have Sister Noble, Ansamma George, RN as a member of our community here at Westview. She has made a profoundly positive impression on patients, residents, and her fellow colleagues in this community of care. I am proud to see her dedication to professional medical care along with her faithful devotion to bedside manner. Congratulations to Sister Noble!”
