Press Release
Employee of the Month
Date
April 9, 2019

     Toby Mercier from Moosup, CT was named Westview Health Care Center’s Employee of the Month for March 2019. Toby has been employed at Westview since August 2016 within the facility’s Support Services department.

     Ms. Mercier’s position at Westview revolves around two primary areas of focus: housekeeping and laundry, two duties that most of us begrudgingly perform at home. But passing by Toby in the hallways of Westview as she carries out her work reveals the true nature of her personality; one that is earnestly interested in the well-being of others and diligently committed to her workplace obligations. Day in, and day out, it’s done with a genuine smile on her face.

     While not attending to the comfort and welfare of others at Westview, Ms. Mercier enjoys spending as much time as possible with her fiancé, Randy; son, Dylan; and their dog, Decon. Whether she’s getting her hands dirty in her garden or getting her feet wet at the beach visiting her parents in South Carolina, it’s easy to imagine that she’s doing so with the ease and grace that she exhibits for the patients and residents of Westview.

     “Toby’s positive disposition and attention to detail are just some of the reasons that she was awarded this distinction, “stated David T. Panteleakos, Administrator. “We’re proud to have her on our team of caregivers.”

     “I work with a bunch of great people,” added Mercier. “Not only are the staff at Westview amazing, but I love getting to know the residents and their families. I truly feel lucky to have received this award.”
