Morning Pointe Senior Living campuses across the Southeast are celebrating National Certified Nursing Assistants Week, June 13-19.
Also known as CNAs, nursing assistants provide clinical assistance, helping assisted living and memory care residents with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, eating and more. They also bring emotional support for residents and their families. These professionals help monitor health conditions, provide essential basic care and serve as an additional communication bridge to keep families updated.
During Certified Nursing Assistants Week, Morning Pointe Senior Living is saying a special thank you to each CNA across its 38 communities in Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama and Indiana.
"Certified nursing assistants are the backbone of our care teams,” said Greg A.
Vital, Morning Pointe Senior Living co-founder and president. “Their dedication, compassion and hard work make a profound difference in the lives of our residents every day. We are immensely grateful for their unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care and support."
“I love being here because there’s different residents with different backgrounds, and you get to know everybody,” said Tiffany Murphy, a CNA at Morning Pointe Senior Living. “I love what I do.”
