Date
August 5, 2013

Westview Health Care Center has enhanced its full range of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services and recreational programs by opening a multi-hole putting green. The putting green, constructed by River Valley Construction and Landscaping LLC, is used to improve balance, rotation, eye-hand coordination, range of motion and so many more benefits to assist patients in returning to community activity.

"It's a great idea," exclaimed outpatient therapy patient Rich Huoppi. "I am an avid golfer so this really appeals to me as part of my rehabilitation therapy."

Situated in Westview's courtyard, which includes a gazebo, sitting areas and gardens, the new green also complements a wide range of recreation programs for all residents and patients at Westview.

"The Westview mission has always been to provide a full range of services and amenities that appeal to our community", stated Administrator David T. Panteleakos. "We are truly excited to further expand our rehabilitation interventions with tools that ultimately provide for better outcomes."

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 www.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.
