La’Trice Thomas – Founder and Co-Owner, Teakwood Coves
I’m so honored to welcome you into what we proudly call our family. This residential assisted living home is not just a place; it’s a purpose born out of a lifetime of love, resilience, and compassion.
I grew up in the foster care system and became a teen mom. From a young age, I was deeply curious about people and their stories; whether someone was homeless or a CEO, I wanted to understand how they got to where they were. That curiosity led to a passion for helping others, and that passion has never left me.
With over a decade of experience in bedside nursing, crisis response, emergency care, long-term care, and our elderly population, I bring a comprehensive understanding of patient needs and a compassionate approach to care. I’ve had the privilege of serving people across many walks of life. But nothing has been more meaningful than building this home. It's a place where every person is treated with dignity, respect, and genuine care.
My daughter and I have always shared a love for people. We’re both natural nurtures, and it brings us joy to create a space where others can feel safe, happy, and truly cared for. We don’t say “residents”. We’ve adopted the term “members”, because everyone here is a part of something more —something personal, lasting, and real.
To our new members and their families: thank you for trusting us. Thank you for allowing us to walk beside you. We promise to always keep you number #1. Welcome to the family.
With love,
La’Trice Thomas
