Froehlich Day Habilitation Supervisor
Joseph Castillo was hired in 2021 as an Activities Coach and in 2023 he was promoted to Day Habilitation Supervisor at Froehlich.
Gloria Richards, wrote, "as a supervisor, Joe has shown his interest and willingness to work with staff and individuals. He always politely greets anyone that enters the building and assists them in any way possible. He never raises his voice at anyone regardless of the situation. One of his priorities is assisting individuals with their activities, meals and medications. He is very good working with individuals who have behaviors and they listen to him and calm down in a timely manner."
Shahab Jamil said, "Joe is a dedicated worker and has a helping hand for everyone. When an individual is having a behavior, Joe is the first person to step in and assist the staff before it gets out of hand. Whenever we need information we all go to Joe."
Alexis Lindor, said, "Joseph goes above and beyond to help out on the floor whenever he can. He assists with changing many of the individuals when the program is short staffed without hesitation. He is also always quick to intervene when individuals ae engaging in behaviors and willing to give a helping hand to deescalate the situation. He shows up every day with a positive attitude that the staff feed off of."
Lucas Brazier, Paule Zephirin, Nilson De La Rosa, and Natacha Montes also submitted nomination forms nominating Joseph and they all had similar sentiments about Joe and why he deserves to be Employee of the Month.
Congratulations and thank you, Joseph!
