Latino Janitor Turns Into Unsung Hero By Taking Care Of Abandoned Seniors

By Brian Llenas, Fox News Latino

A California janitor is being heralded for feeding, bathing, and comforting more than a dozen elderly and mentally ill residents left to fend for themselves amid suspicions of elder abuse in a shut down senior care home in northern California.

Miguel Alvarez, 33, started the $8-an-hour janitor job at Valley Springs Manor in Castro Valley on October 7. A stay-at-home dad, Alvarez had never worked in a senior care home before but hoped to make a few extra bucks to buy Christmas gifts for his children.

But just three weeks later, Alvarez and cook Maurice Rowland were left by themselves after the entire workforce at the senior center – including management – walked out of the facility after the state suspended its operating license on Oct. 24.
