Date
August 19, 2025

      Ty Nilo earned acknowledgement as Westview Health Care Center’s Employee of the Month in June. Ty provides operational support to multiple teams at Westview as an Administrative Assistant; aiding the healthcare, maintenance, and business systems throughout the Dayville, CT skilled nursing facility. At times in this role, Ty specializes his duties to help complete the goals of specific departments and has excelled in adapting, asserting, and assisting in a great variety of Westview’s efforts. Through these endeavors, he has become well known among the staff at Westview Health Care Center, Country Living at Westview Commons, and Westview Child Care Center.

      While living in Union, CT for most of his life Ty maintains connections with friends across the state. He is a graduate of The Woodstock Academy, and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Nichols College. Ty’s father Terry is a carpenter and his mother Phuong is a Doctor of Physical Therapy—specifically the Director of Westview Outpatient and Aquatic Therapy. As a result, Ty has been mutually familiar with Westview facilities and staff for many years, and his present-day professional performance is a strong compliment to his narrative. This recognition signifies facility-wide praise for Ty’s myriad contributions since joining the staff in October 2023. Among his outside interests, Ty has a keen sense of style and steady intentions for his fitness. Ty asserts that spontaneously planned adventures he has with friends are celebrated the same as their long-scheduled trips and traditions. Concertgoing is another passionate pursuit for Ty. While is proud to have seen Blink 182 four times (he insists that he truly enjoys a diverse array of music!) he appreciates everything from pop hits to punk rock to film scores.

      During his professional tenure at Westview, Ty has held many different responsibilities as a direct assistant to the Support Services Director, the Staff Education Director, and the Infection Prevention & Control Director. In addition to those roles Ty has also served salutations and smiles at the reception desk for visiting guests of Westview. Throughout all the reconfiguration of duties and relocations around Westview facilities, Ty comports as calm, cool, and collected. He welcomes the challenge of multidisciplinary understanding, and finds it to be a good application for his education in business management:

      “Working at Westview has presented me with a lot of different departmental perspectives, and I like to understand the organization’s structure through all of these contributing parts. There are so many different realms of operation at all of the Westview facilities—I really appreciate being able to experience as much of it as possible.” Ty further detailed his gratitude for all of his interactions at Westview contributing to his success: “I am blessed to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing and supportive team here at Westview. I thank my co-workers, friends, and all the wonderful community members who visit their loved ones here at Westview. You have all helped create a supportive and empathetic atmosphere that has really helped me continue to grow as a person. I truly am so grateful to you all, and I hope to continue making you all proud.”

      Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos appreciates all the adaptability, intuition, and interest Ty shows in his efforts. “Ty combines an innate understanding of facility operations with a continued curiosity to learn more about all of the functioning aspects at Westview. I especially value his cohesion across multiple departments here, and I know that he has become a trusted teammate throughout our organization.”
