Lillian Curtis
Focused Care at Westwood is a clean, well-managed facility with a caring and compassionate staff. Mr. Bernard Tanyi, (Executive Director of Operations) sets an example of excellence that continues throughout the individual departments in a high level of unwavering dedication to patient care and family support. A special Thank You is extended to Ms. Tonya Wallace (Social Worker) for always going above and beyond her regular duties to give families the information and guidance that they need to make informed decisions on a daily basis. Ms. Carla Hudgen is the perfect person to lead all of the well-organized fun activities. Her energy and enthusiasm help draw the residents out of their rooms and into fellowship with other people, especially during BINGO Games (a group favorite). The monthly Birthday Party is a hand-clapping, dancing-in-your-seats celebration that lets folks forget about their troubles for at least a little while. Thanks Focused Care at Westwood for bringing a ray of sunshine and joy to those who need it most.
