     Westview Health Care Center, a 103-bed inpatient and outpatient skilled nursing facility located in Dayville, Connecticut has achieved America’s Best in the United States with a 5-Star overall rating according to U.S. News and World Report for the 9th consecutive year and since the inception of the ranking system. The report based its findings from the federal government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Nursing Home Compare data of over 15,500 certified health care facilities in the country and other factors based on quality of care measures.

     U.S. News and World Report began this rating system in 2009 and in 2016 the system was modified to also include evaluating a facility’s historical performance, averaging monthly data over an entire year, placing more emphasis on strong performance in medical quality measures and the level of rehabilitation services provided to patients.

     The U.S. News and World Report ranking information aims to make one of life's decisions a little easier by providing performance ratings to millions of Americans who are researching health care facilities to find the highest rated providers likely to meet their needs and level of expectations.

     Westview Health Care Center has remained one of America’s Best 5-Star overall rated facilities since the inception of the U.S. News and World Report article published 9 years ago on May 9, 2009.

     “We are very excited to be so highly ranked by both U.S. News and World Report and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,” stated Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos. “We are also truly humbled by this fantastic acknowledgement and 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. Of course, these accomplishments are not possible without the hard work, dedication and outstanding contributions of our most valuable asset: our amazing health care professionals and staff members.”

Westview Health Care Center is a 103-bed skilled nursing inpatient facility, which includes a distinct and self-contained 28-bed subacute short-term rehabilitation unit and an Outpatient Rehabilitation and Aquatic Center, both dedicated to providing quality health care services. Along with garnering a perfect five star overall rating found on Medicare.gov Westview is proud to have received such accolades as US News and World Report America’s Best, Consumer Reports Top 10 Connecticut Nursing Facility rating and Health Grades 5-Star Top Ranking.
