Press Release
Employee of the Month
Date
October 31, 2025

      Jordyn Staveski was distinguished as Westview’s Employee of the Month in August. As an Occupational Therapist at Westview’s Outpatient Aquatic Center, Jordyn renders rehabilitative support in both the inpatient setting at Westview Health Care Center as well as their dedicated outpatient treatment wing. Whether helping long-term residents and patients or individuals by appointment, Jordyn’s goals at Westview remain constant: to maximize patients’ inner sense of potential and achieve what otherwise might be considered irresolvable. She joined the team at Westview Outpatient & Aquatic Therapy in 2023 and has appreciated her own growth as a professional, in-step, with the growth of Westview’s scope and scale of services. Jordyn acknowledges the warm welcome she received upon her arrival, noting her early perception that Westview would be a great place to continue learning; building experiences on the foundation of her education.

      Jordyn calls Woodstock, CT her hometown and she is a proud graduate of The Woodstock Academy. Feeling particularly motivated to study health sciences, sports medicine—and ultimately—therapeutic treatment, she enrolled in Springfield College’s well-renowned undergraduate program for this field of study. After earning this degree, she continued right along Springfield College’s educational path and promptly started working on her master’s degree there. Still—after achieving her Master of Occupational Therapy in 2023, then doing 6 months of field work, and then taking her board exams to finally attain status as and OTA/L, Jordyn hoped to find placement in a setting where all of her skills would flourish. She had a job shadowing experience at Westview during her high school years and she recalled this experience as she set forth professionally; finding an enriching space at Westview Health Care Center.

      One of the aspects Jordyn highly values about her role at Westview is the diverse and vocationally enriching set of patient profiles that she treats. By applying her expertise to a wide range of patients and abilities in different inpatient and outpatient settings, she rises to take on unexpected challenges each day. Working with patients in both long-term care and short-term care manifests a constantly changing application of Jordyn’s skills. Identifying different abilities within patient profiles challenges Jordyn’s mind as an Occupational Therapist and she devotedly seeks the most personalized pathway for patients to achieve as much as they can.

      “No dream is technically impossible! We can always adapt and find a different way to help patients get where they want to be—in terms of ambulation and overall quality of living,” Jordyn asserted. “We like patients to know that our therapy teams commit our best efforts to accomplish their patient goals. Whether it’s something specific, like a car transfer so they can go to restaurants and errands; or something basic but essential, like wheelchair comfort, we want patients to know we are dedicated to meeting their individual needs.”

      Jordyn celebrates the team camaraderie among the staff at Westview Outpatient & Aquatic Center. She notes that they all work together very well, and that their wide range of expertise and experience in the field of therapy complement each other’s attributes. They operate in a culture of constant self-improvement among both patients and staff. Adding to her appreciation, Jordyn enjoys the fact that they’re all “dog people” in Westview Outpatient & Aquatic Center! A rotating roster of four-legged friends regularly joins the team to stimulate smile muscles.

      A proud pet owner herself, Jordyn adores the company of her two cats. Reading ranks among her favorite interests; acknowledging that while she enjoys a wide range of genres, she is inclined to read current and historically-set fiction. Jordyn loves to travel to destinations domestic and international. So far, she has visited France, Germany, Italy, and Australia—and hopes to make Japan her next adventure. Another one of Jordyn’s favorite pastimes is outland hiking in the spectacular landscapes of the New England region, or even more remote places like Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada.

      One of Jordyn’s favorite endeavors is attending concerts and reunion tours to celebrate the radio hits of amber adolescence. She has especially enjoyed seeing Blink-182 in recent times, and is drawn to alternative and metal concerts from time to time; especially liking the fan experience on the Xfinity Center lawn. Family is a centrally important theme in Jordyn’s life. She is close with her mother and father, Rebecca and Kenneth, and her younger sister Codi—who Jordyn is proud to have as her Maid of Honor in her wedding next year. An awareness and appreciation for family follows Jordyn in her professional pursuits, as she indicated in her remarks upon receiving Westview’s Employee of the Month designation:

      “I am fortunate to work in both the inpatient and outpatient settings at Westview. I enjoy meeting and working with patients, residents, their family members, and their caregivers; forming strong interprofessional relationships throughout the process.” Jordyn emphasized her gratitude, adding “I’d like to thank my family, my friends, my colleagues in the Therapy Department, and all others who have inspired me to be my best self—personally and professionally.”

      David T. Panteleakos, Administrator of Westview Health Care Center, lauds Jordyn’s multidisciplinary grasp of Occupational Therapy for patients across all levels of need. “Jordyn exhibits her strength of knowledge and command of treatment pathways in each case that she manages. Her flexibility across many different settings and scenarios is as commendable as it is congenial. Jordyn’s friendly presence is well-known to patients, residents, families, and colleagues throughout the facility. Congratulations to Jordyn!”
