Recreation: Fun and Creativity
At Westview, we don't focus on what residents can't do- we focus on what they can do. This philosophy is the basis for our highly creative recreation program. In addition to bingo, bridge, arts and crafts, residents can also take advantage of various entertainers, painting classes, pet therapy, exercise sessions, excursions to local beaches, theme parties and fall-foliage bus trips.






Volunteer Programs
Westview is very fortunate to have a strong volunteer program of dedicated community organizations and enthusiastic adult and teenage volunteers. These individuals donate hundreds of hours to help enhance the programming and family-feel of this special community. This personal touch is especially appreciated by the residents and staff.

It is our goal to create an atmosphere that puts patients at ease, reduces their anxiety and helps them focus on their own well-being. Because we pride ourselves on offering the most progressive treatments available, patients can count on their stay to get them back on their feet and enjoying a more active lifestyle.
