Please join us in congratulating our first ever HA Medal of Excellence winner, Rafael Rodriguez, maintenance technician at Worthington Commons!   

Rafael received multiple nominations for demonstrating our core value of "Say It" and here's what his teammates had to say... 

"Worthington Commons had 100+ work orders when Rafael started with us, and he completed all of them within 2 weeks by himself.  Rafael always goes above and beyond for our residents by ensuring their work orders are completed promptly and correctly.  He helps the leasing office when a language barrier arises and has helped us close new leases.  Rafael takes pride in his community and the impeccable grounds at WC are proof of that.  We are very grateful to have him on our team!"  - Steve Turner, Community Manager at Worthington Commons 

"Rafael volunteered to go on call for Dave Ridgeway at the last-minute during weekend hours.  Not only did he volunteer, but he reached out and asked if he could help in any way.  Dave was so impressed; he could not believe that a company could care so much.  I told Dave this is how Homestead rolls."  - Rae Mckenney, Community Manager at Old Towne Apartments 

Thank you, Rafael, for demonstrating the Homestead Core Values through your actions, work ethic, and support.  You have made a huge impact on our team and our property in a short amount of time, I can't wait to watch you grow with us.  We appreciate you!!
