On Aug. 30, 2023, Latrice Hubbard celebrated a milestone anniversary – 20 years of working as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Morning Pointe of Frankfort (KY) Senior Living!
“Latrice has been the Dayshift Lead, worked in Activities, Housekeeping and so much more and has done it with that big, bright, beautiful smile!” said Staci Dennis, Vice President of Morning Pointe Senior Living’s Bluegrass Region.
When Latrice started at the community in 2003, the building was owned by another company and called The Neighborhood. She began her journey in the building on second shift and worked her way up to day shift.
“I come from a family of caregivers,” Latrice said. “I believe in putting family first, and the residents are like my family, so that’s what I do for them.”
In addition to enjoying the residents’ stories and getting to know them personally, Latrice has a special interest in helping new residents adapt to life in senior living.
“It’s a hard change for them, so I try to make it a smooth transition,” Latrice said. “That’s my goal, to show them that it can be a positive experience. When they first come in, I sit down and find out about them and their routine so it won’t be such a drastic change.”
One special memory from the last two decades of service at the community was a resident who wrote a poem thanking her. Latrice found the gesture touching.
Latrice is also well known for going all-out when it comes to dressing up, whether it be for special events or Spirit Week for the associates. She has dressed in poodle skirts, MC Hammer pants for ‘90s Day, and even a gumball machine.
But what has truly led Latrice to stay at Morning Pointe of Frankfort is the team of associates.
“That’s the main reason I’ve stayed here for so long – it’s a family environment,” she said. “I’m grateful for how Morning Pointe takes care of its own.”
