Mainstay is proud to announce that one of our employees, Lead Home Health Aid Julius Sanchez, was featured in the latest issue of the Massachusetts Providers’ Council’s newspaper, The Provider. Read the article below!
Julius Sanchez is a rising star at Mainstay Supportive Housing and Homecare
“He’s only been with us for 5 months, but in a short period of time, he’s made a huge impact on the lives of our clients,” Larry Oaks, president and CEO of Mainstay.
Julius Sanchez is a lead home health aide at Mainstay Supportive Housing and Homecare, a Newton-based agency, and in short order he’s made himself an integral part of Mainstay’s Supportive Housing program. He provides compassionate, hands-on support to individuals who have been chronically unhoused, and he travels more than an hour to and from work every day to do this work. Julius ensures residents feel respected, safe and empowered in their homes because these are values that matter deeply to him.
In Sanchez’s words, “I chose human services because I genuinely care about people and have a deep desire to make a difference in their lives. I’ve faced my own challenges, and those experiences have inspired me to help others who are going through similar struggles. Being able to support someone in their time of need means everything to me.”
Sanchez is a reliable presence for his clients and provides assistance every day with the activities of daily living including meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship and support. One client stated that Julius has helped them “learn to keep up after their place which has given me more self-confidence.”
It’s clear to Mainstay that he is passionate about making a positive impact on his client’s daily lives. His direct supervisor, Mainstay program manager, Jennifer Jutras noted that, “Julius consistently goes above and beyond to ensure his clients receive not just care, but genuine connection and respect. He often travels to different sites to ensure his clients are well supported. He radiates warmth, compassion, professionalism and his attentiveness, reliability, and kind heart have made a lasting impact on both our clients and his coworkers alike.”
Sanchez was Mainstay’s Employee of the Month in June of this year. As Sanchez continues in his role, Mainstay looks forward to seeing program participants continue to thrive under his care.
