I think the elevator is opennow.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So we're getting off, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Good job there.
So Florida Healthcare, you'rethe president.
Why do you desire to becomepresident of the board of
directors?
Actually, the first.
That's a lot of work.
You know it's a little extraworkload on you.
It is a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But you know it's a desire for.
But it's something that Idesired to do after my first
meeting at a Florida healthcaredistrict meeting.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I absolutely I said it.
I actually went home and said Ithink I want to be the
president of this organizationbecause I saw there was so much
that you could impact, there wasso much that you could do and
be a part of, and so I kind ofgrew through the ranks of the
role.
So I started as a districtofficer I.
(03:09):
So I kind of grew through theranks of the role.
So I started out as a districtofficer.
I moved into a committee chairposition, co-chair, then a
committee chair position, ranfor a region office and then
jumped onto the executivecommittee as a secretary,
treasurer, senior vice presidentand president.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Wow, really involved practicing what she preaches.
So, in your role as president,how do you advocate?
Offers solutions to providequality care or improving
quality of care for seniors inthe state of Florida.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So it really starts with our grassroots.
It really starts with becomingmore involved at the Capitol
level with the Lobby Wednesdayevents that we do.
I have seen a lot of impact ofwhat our voices can do when we
go to the lobby Wednesday eventsand we go to the Capitol and we
meet with our legislatorswhether it's the House of
Representatives folks or it'sour senators and we get in front
(03:50):
of them and we give them achance to hear from our folks
that are working on the floor,our folks that are working in
the centers, doing what they doevery day in the post-acute
buildings that we run, andgiving them the opportunity to
hear firsthand stories, evenfrom some of our residents.
So that has really been a hugeimpact on improving quality of
care and then knowing, afterthey voted for the budget, of
(04:13):
how much money that we'reactually receiving and that goes
back into the buildings to helpus get the funding that we need
for that Medicaid reimbursementand how we can impact that.
It's huge.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yes, it is.
It is and thank you for youradvocacy.

seniors and their familiesappreciate what you do as well
Just any trends or innovationthat you know about that's

several vendors who did somedemos as well as doing some
panels discussions with themembers in the audience, which
(05:02):
was great.
It opened it up for them tohave one-on-one discussions.
They had a chance to do someQ&A sessions, but it was an
opportunity for us to look atwhat AI software is out there to
assist the buildings in doingtheir jobs better.
And it's just, it's somethingwe can move forward with.
It advances quicker than we caneven talk about it.

compliment you've receivedprofessionally?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
that's something that I said to someone.
Help them do their job better.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I had a tremendous preceptor when I did my AIT
about 32 years ago and I stilldo things to this day that she
taught me then.
And when I mentor newadministrators or even other
professionals and I have achance to pass that wisdom on, I
do so, and when they tell methat they've used it, or they've
reflected on that, then that'sa huge compliment to me.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Very big compliment Hearing from even now I have
CNAs from like five years agothat I work with cause I don't
have the long tenure like you,but just to remember my birthday
and you know, text me and sayhappy birthday hey you know,
norm, this building is open overhere.
You want to be the administrator?
You know it's a wonderfulcompliment from, and is open
over here.
You want to be theadministrator?
You know it's a wonderfulcompliment, uh, from, and I
(08:31):
received that from every level.
Uh, you know, so I can justattest to that absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
When somebody follows you somewhere, too, that's a
huge compliment.
Compliment, yeah, it's verygood.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I always used to say it.
I'm not causing any drama hereon the show.
I always just say you have adirector of nursing that's
coming to your building.
She can't bring anybody, that'sa sign that is a sign right
there.
It is a huge sign ashton hill,yeah, as the health making waves
uh here in the state of florida, uh, so what impact you'd say
uh, long term in the long-termcare industry?
(09:00):
Uh, your role with ashtonhealth, uh has impacted.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But overall as an organization, the impact in
senior care, I think, probablyjust bringing some awareness
more of what the organizationdoes, what we kind of find our
niche to be and what our reachis.
Aston is now 50 buildings.
We have buildings fromPensacola down to Delray Beach,
(09:24):
all across Jacksonville, downthe I-4 corridor, all over the
state of Florida.
So we've grown tremendously.
We've almost doubled in size inthe last two years.
So Aston's done a wonderful jobof maximizing our impact.
In the areas that we can, wegrow our own.
So we do a very strong AITprogram and we encourage our VPs
(09:50):
of operations to be mentors andto continue to build their
bench and grow and grow theirown Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I will also give compliments to Asking Health.
About is the upgrades infacilities, because a lot of
these facilities you don't seeas much investment but the
upgrades and entering to thosefacilities, because it's very
nice facilities that you guyshave but the upgrades and
entering to those facilities,because it's very nice
facilities that you guys have.
Thank you, but it didn't startthat way, no, so I really
(10:18):
appreciate that.
And just because I go, I coverwith Evolutionary Healthcare
sponsor of the show, by the wayI actually cover Central Florida
, so I go to Orlando, tampa,sarasota, boca Raton, delray
Beach, so I see the differentfacilities there.
So really good job overall andas we wrap up your show here
today, ms Morris, if you couldshare your messagea message to
(10:39):
future long-term careprofessionals.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh gosh, my message.
Continue to pay it forward.
Somebody paid it forward to you.
So, you continue to do itforward.
Somebody paid it forward to you, so you continue to do the same
.
Nominate someone for a FloridaLeader Program through FHCA.
Get involved in FHCA as much asyou possibly can.
Bring more awareness to theorganization that you work with.
If there's an organization thatyou want to work with, get more
(11:04):
involved with what they do.
Promote yourself, alwayspromote yourself.
If you can't sell yourself,then you're not going to be able
to sell the care you provide.
There you go, so pay it forwardand be that mentor.
Yeah, that's a big one.
I want to add, mr Carnegie.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
he stated something that I still.
He said if you want success andyou want to become rich, make
yourself valuable.
That's right, right.
You want to attract thosethings make yourself valuable.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I couldn't agree more .
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, and as we wrap up, this show is always
dedicated to our caregivers andfamilies out there.
If you could share your messageto caregivers and families
throughout the world, whoeverlistened to the show?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I guess probably the last thing I would share is, if
you're going to take care of aresident, make sure what you're
doing is the right thing.
Always do the right thing.
And if you're going to askyourself about a decision that
you're making in the role thatyou serve, ask yourself if it's
going to improve resident careand the quality of care that you
provide, because that's alwaysgoing to be the right answer.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Right, absolutely, that's a good answer.
Good answer.

She can't bring anybody, that'sa sign that is a sign right
there.
It is a huge sign ashton hill,yeah, as the health making waves
uh here in the state of florida, uh, so what impact you'd say
uh, long term in the long-termcare industry?
(09:00):
Uh, your role with ashtonhealth, uh has impacted.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But overall as an organization, the impact in
senior care, I think, probablyjust bringing some awareness
more of what the organizationdoes, what we kind of find our
niche to be and what our reachis.
Aston is now 50 buildings.
We have buildings fromPensacola down to Delray Beach,
(09:24):
all across Jacksonville, downthe I-4 corridor, all over the
state of Florida.
So we've grown tremendously.
We've almost doubled in size inthe last two years.
So Aston's done a wonderful jobof maximizing our impact.
In the areas that we can, wegrow our own.
So we do a very strong AITprogram and we encourage our VPs
(09:50):
of operations to be mentors andto continue to build their
bench and grow and grow theirown Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I will also give compliments to Asking Health.
About is the upgrades infacilities, because a lot of
these facilities you don't seeas much investment but the
upgrades and entering to thosefacilities, because it's very
nice facilities that you guyshave but the upgrades and
entering to those facilities,because it's very nice
facilities that you guys have.
Thank you, but it didn't startthat way, no, so I really
(10:18):
appreciate that.
And just because I go, I coverwith Evolutionary Healthcare
sponsor of the show, by the wayI actually cover Central Florida
, so I go to Orlando, tampa,sarasota, boca Raton, delray
Beach, so I see the differentfacilities there.
So really good job overall andas we wrap up your show here
today, ms Morris, if you couldshare your messagea message to
(10:39):
future long-term careprofessionals.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh gosh, my message.
Continue to pay it forward.
Somebody paid it forward to you.
So, you continue to do itforward.
Somebody paid it forward to you, so you continue to do the same
.
Nominate someone for a FloridaLeader Program through FHCA.
Get involved in FHCA as much asyou possibly can.
Bring more awareness to theorganization that you work with.
If there's an organization thatyou want to work with, get more
(11:04):
involved with what they do.
Promote yourself, alwayspromote yourself.
If you can't sell yourself,then you're not going to be able
to sell the care you provide.
There you go, so pay it forwardand be that mentor.
Yeah, that's a big one.
I want to add, mr Carnegie.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
he stated something that I still.
He said if you want success andyou want to become rich, make
yourself valuable.
That's right, right.
You want to attract thosethings make yourself valuable.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I couldn't agree more .
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, and as we wrap up, this show is always
dedicated to our caregivers andfamilies out there.
If you could share your messageto caregivers and families
throughout the world, whoeverlistened to the show?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I guess probably the last thing I would share is, if
you're going to take care of aresident, make sure what you're
doing is the right thing.
Always do the right thing.
And if you're going to askyourself about a decision that
you're making in the role thatyou serve, ask yourself if it's
going to improve resident careand the quality of care that you
provide, because that's alwaysgoing to be the right answer.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Right, absolutely, that's a good answer.
Good answer.
