Watermark Retirement Communities runs senior living facilities in many states like Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Washington, and they've been managing communities for more than 30 years. They have a location in Casas Adobes in Tucson, Arizona, close to Northwest Medical Center, where folks can get care for different needs, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for dementia, The Bridge, and short-term stays. People can pick housing like studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units, and everything's single-story, which makes it easier to get around, and pets are allowed.
The staff at Watermark are known for being caring and well-trained, and you'll see programs geared toward wellness, choice, and personal comfort, like Medical Concierge, Extraordinary Outings, and In the Presence of Horses®. There are many signature offerings, such as Watermark University classes, Prema Memory Support℠ for dementia needs, Gourmet Bites Cuisine for special diets, 360Well® Coordinator for wellness, and Memory Care resources, so residents get support that fits them. There are extra activities, too, including Resident Ambassadors who help new folks settle in, musical and lifestyle magazines, and My Watermark Experience℠.
People living here have access to technology some might not expect, like EngageVR®, Accushield, LifeLoop, Smart Exercise Equipment, Circadian Lighting, PalCare Real-Time Location System (RTLS), and Technology Concierge to help with devices, plus Channel Insertion and iN2L, which keep folks connected and active. Watermark's also got safety and privacy features, plus transportation, beauty services, housekeeping, parking, exercise programs, social and cultural events, and things like BrainCafé℠ for brain health. Gourmet Bites Cuisine helps those with trouble chewing, while dining services adjust to dietary needs.
Programs such as Medical Concierge, Dining for the Soul, Thricycle, and Watermark at Home® serve a mix of care needs and personal interests, and the Bridge program helps those between assisted living and full memory care. Cultural series like Feeling Our Age, Not Another Second, Ageless, and Behind the Scenes add a creative touch.
