Jose Cruz started here at the Gables at Winchester in 1993. He joined our team as a maintenance assistant, and knows everything there is to know about the workings of this building. In 2019 Jose was promoted to Maintenance Director. Jose is a true success story; at the age of 17, he moved to Massachusetts from Puerto Rico, unable to speak a word of English, and overcame many obstacles to make a career for himself in senior living. He loves making the residents smile and laugh, and always goes above and beyond for everyone. In 2014, The Gables nominated Jose for the Mass ALFA Hero of the Year award, and he won! Jose is well known for his Christmas decorations, as every year he decorates his home and invites our residents to view his creative light display as an outing on The Gables van. When Jose is not at The Gables keeping things running smoothly, he loves to fish and attend to his vegetable garden; he also enjoys spending time with family and friends.
