Jose Dominguez, resident services coordinator

Extremely service oriented. He is instrumental in assisting families and residents manage through the wide array of public benefits.

Every application he has submitted for Medi-Cal coverage has been eligible, which means that the Home has not suffered any loss of reimbursement in those cases.

His job is not just a job but “a beautiful circle of helping”; connecting the residents with various government programs helps the Home.

A true gentleman who is pleasant to everybody. Jose always has a calm demeanor, regardless of how stressful a situation may be. A can-do attitude goes far!

Edwin Lagapa, CNA

A “man for all seasons.” No task is too small or too great; ask him to do something and you know it will be done.

When a wheelchair breaks in the Home, you don’t call AAA, you call Edwin!

A true pleasure to see him interact with residents, families, and staff. It is not unusual to hear him playing his guitar or ukulele for residents, or singing a soothing song to calm their nerves.

Ensures that all who enter the rehab department feel welcome and comfortable, and is always willing to answer any questions that may come up.

He not only has a love for his job, but a love for life and for his fellow man.
