Let's Celebrate National Caregivers Day

National Caregivers Day, observed annually on the third Friday of February, is a special occasion dedicated to honoring the invaluable contributions of caregivers. At Jawonio, we take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to our exceptional care teams at every level. Each of our lifespan services division staff provides holistic and personalized services in: Early Childhood Education, Residential and Day Services, Mental Health Services, Vocational/Employment Services, as well as our Article 16 Clinic, Care Management and our Commercial Cleaning Company. Their selfless dedication and unwavering commitment to providing compassionate care are truly remarkable. Our staff is the reason why Jawonio is known, since 1947, as “The Place Where Miracles Happen Every Day”.

Celebrating Our Unsung Heroes: Jawonio’s Investment in Staff and Recognition on National Caregivers Day

At Jawonio, we firmly believe that our staff are the heart and soul of our organization. Their unwavering dedication, compassion, and expertise enable us to provide exceptional care and support to the individuals we serve. We understand that investing in our staff is not just an ethical imperative, but also a strategic priority. By fostering a culture of caring, we ensure that our Jawonio staff are equipped to deliver the highest quality of care and continue to inspire our children and adults to their highest potential.

Investing in Our Staff:

Our commitment to staff investment is reflected in a comprehensive range of initiatives:

  • Make a Difference: Discover a world of opportunity where your talents and compassion can truly inspire. We offer a generous benefits including medical, dental and vision plans, generous paid time off, 403(b) plan and tuition assistance program.

  • Professional Development Opportunities: We provide ongoing training and development programs to enhance the skills and knowledge of our staff.

  • Supportive Work Environment: We foster a culture of respect, collaboration, and open communication to ensure that our team members feel valued and supported.

  • Recognition and Appreciation: We regularly acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of our staff through various recognition programs including employee of the month, employee of the year and longevity awards.

 

March 7th at 10am | Rally in the Valley | Clover Stadium, Rockland County, NY | A Powerful Show of Support

The upcoming Rally in the Valley will bring together 2,000 advocates from across New York State to demonstrate their unwavering support for our staff. This event serves as a powerful testament to the recognition and appreciation that our caregivers deserve. We are immensely grateful for the overwhelming support from our community and stakeholders. We expect our elected officials on both the federal and state levels will commit to protecting Medicaid insurance while at the same time ensuring disability rights for all of the most vulnerable children and adults in our society.

Our Staff: The Backbone of Our Organization

CEO, Randi Rios-Castro states: “On National Care Givers Day we are reminded of what we already know each and every day for almost 80 years that our Jawonio staff are the heart, soul and backbone of Jawonio. Through their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to our mission, they make a profound difference in the lives of the individuals we serve in both Rockland County and Yonkers in New York. We are deeply proud of our team and remain steadfast in our commitment to investing in their well-being and professional growth.”
