      Tiffany Alvarado earned Westview’s Employee of the Month recognition this September. Tiffany has worked at Westview for the past five years in a variety of roles. She began her tenure in the Dietary Department of Country Living at Westview Commons on a per-diem basis, then accepted a part-time role, and eventually rose to the full-time position she now holds. Through her considerable and consistent performance providing hospitality to the residents at mealtimes, she has now elevated to the role of Server Supervisor. In this capacity, Tiffany provides residents with their custom food orders and provides leadership to her colleagues in The Great Room during food service. Additionally, she works alongside her colleagues in Westview Commons’ Dietary Department and Hospitality Team in-between meals to ensure that settings are properly prepared, restocking various dining room staples and food items, and rearranging the tables and chairs to make space for the many forms of activity and entertainment that are held in The Great Room. This is Tiffany’s second time earning the Employee of the Month designation; having previously earned the recognition in October 2022. Ever the ambitious individual, Tiffany is currently cross-training to add front-desk receptionist to her employment repertoire at Westview Commons.

      Family is very important to Tiffany and her kin. She is close with her mother and offers her loving care and many smiles. Tiffany’s daughter Tyasia has worked with Westview Commons in the past, and Tiffany’s sister Erica is presently a member of the dietary team at Westview Health Care Center. Tiffany and her family coordinate dinners together as often as possible to cherish their bond and have a few laughs around the table. Tiffany was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and graduated from The High School for Enterprise, Business, and Technology there. She moved to Connecticut nearly ten years ago and she currently lives in Danielson, CT. Prior to bringing her talents to Westview Commons, Tiffany worked for over 20 years in home care. Kindness, a good work ethic, and hospitality come by her naturally.

      Reflecting on her journey at Westview Commons, Tiffany expressed gratitude for her accomplishments and excitement for her future at the 75-unit independent and assisted living facility in Dayville, CT. “I am thankful for the opportunity to start my role at Westview Commons on a per-diem basis and work my way up to a full-time position. I was extremely proud when they offered me the promotion to become the Server Supervisor. I am now working at the front desk as well, and I am excited to grow with this organization!”

      Country Living at Westview Commons Executive Vice President David T. Panteleakos spoke to the professional, pleasant, and passionate qualities that Tiffany brings to their team: “Tiffany has shown great dedication in all of her roles here at Westview Commons. I am very proud to see her successes continue to develop with us, and I am grateful for the strong example that she sets for fellow colleagues.” Mr. Panteleakos went on to celebrate Tiffany’s opportune pursuit of working with Westview Commons’ administrative staff at the reception desk. “It’s wonderful that Tiffany is also going to be a part of our front-of-house staff in the main entrance office. I know she will bring her great personality and professionalism to that role—just as she has done as a server. Congratulations to Tiffany!”
