Employee of the Month

Sara Maturi received recognition as Westview’s Employee of the Month in October 2025. Sara assists in daily care as a nursing aide at Westview Health Care Center—but moreover—she lifts spirits as much as she lifts anything else. Her bright, buoyant personality is an accessory she wears throughout the facility as a Certified Nursing Assistant, and Sara is celebrated by residents, patients, families, and colleagues alike.

Sara joined the Westview Health Care Center team on October 31, 2023. She has always approached her work with a deeply rooted sense of purpose. Caring for what she fondly calls the “sweet folks” at Westview aligns with the central core of the organization’s mission. According to Sara, that care extends beyond task-based responsibilities. She values the human connections formed through caregiving, and invests in relationships that help her thoughtfully and respectfully accomplish what is needed—whether moments are gentle or challenging. Never shying away from the needs of her team or those entrusted to her care, she maintains a reputation for reliability; often working weekends and answering the call whenever she is available. Her commitment to service is both personal and cultural, informed by values that emphasize responsibility, diligence, and care for others.

Sara resides in Putnam, CT with her husband, David Maturi. Sara is the proud mother of four children—Karen, Jeannie, Giancarlo, and Mary—and family remains a central pillar of her life. Two of her daughters, Jeannie and Mary, have followed paths into the nursing field. Sara hopes to one day work alongside her daughters, united in a shared vocation of care. Sara’s recognition as Employee of the Month reflects the appreciation of those who experience her presence daily, albeit arriving as a heartwarming surprise to her: “I was shocked—in a good way—to learn that I was selected for this award! Truly, I come here every day to do my best. Thank you for the honor,” Sara exclaimed. Through her dedication, reliability, and heartfelt enthusiasm for caregiving, she embodies the spirit of compassion and professionalism that defines Westview Health Care Center.

David T. Panteleakos, Administrator of Westview Health Care Center, acknowledged Sara’s many contributions to Westview care, coworkers, and the overall community throughout the halls of the Dayville, CT skilled nursing facility: “Members of our care team like Sara help to sustain the spirit of care that defines Westview. The nursing care she provides is tender while thorough—and she encourages the spirits of patients, residents, and colleagues with her joyous approach. Sara’s bright presence is a boost to all of us, and she stimulates smiles across the whole facility. Congratulations to Sara!”
