HELP - how to retrieve multiple fields on max 1 field

[Bad Programmer]

I've got a table that has IDs and a Date field.
I need to retrieve only the last record for each PersonID, DepartmentID combination.


I need the Department & StatusName in the recordset which requires joins.
If I use MAX(StatusID) I get the right StatusID (I think by luck) but still the wrong StatusName.
How can I get the records I need?

SELECT
StatusRecordID, PersonID, DepartmentID, StatusID, MAX(DateCreated), Department, StatusName
FROM status_records
INNER JOIN departments on status_records.DepartmentID = departments.DepartmentID
INNER JOIN status_mstr on status_records.StatusID = status_mstr.StatusID
