Watching someone you care about experience memory changes can trigger a flood of emotions, from grief to guilt and everything in between. But you’re not alone. Where care transcends expectations, Watermark’s signature Prema Memory Support program integrates each individual into the rhythms of daily living — creating mindful moments of connection, discovery, engagement, and growth that inspire longevity and well-being. We challenge traditional assumptions about what is possible, with a sharp focus on what residents can do. Each resident brings a unique life experience that becomes part of the fabric of the community. Compassionate, thoughtful associates pour their hearts and souls into creating meaningful ways for each resident to branch out and live life to the fullest.  Through our partnership with the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners, these thoughtful caregivers provide personalized care and one-on-one support 24/7 in a nurturing, warm setting where expert care is rooted in empathy, patience, and understanding. 

At Watermark communities, meals are a time to gather around the table, connect with family and friends, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Longtime favorites and interesting new delights are always on the menu at Watermark communities. For individuals living with cognitive, neuromuscular, or physical challenges, Gourmet Bites Cuisine ensures accessibility, dignity, and independence at the table. Driven by our insatiable desire to help people live well, we believe everyone can enjoy flavorful, nutritious foods as part of a joyful, more inclusive dining experience. Expert chefs transform freshly prepared, high-quality menu items into delicious, protein-packed meals. These visually pleasing portions are served as one-bite and two-bite hors d’oeuvres intended to be eaten by hand. No assistance, no distractions, no utensils—no problem.

For three decades, Watermark communities have challenged the status quo and pushed boundaries for what senior living can really be. 360Well embodies our passion for helping you lead a fulfilling life on your terms. It’s a holistic approach rooted in the four key “circles” of wellness: mind, body, spirit, and community. While each serves an important role on its own, the circles are interconnected. Strengthening one dimension empowers each individual to strengthen the others.You’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to mapping your own 360Well path. You’ll engage in a series of activities based on your needs and the areas of wellness you want to develop. You can then choose to travel your path independently or with your 360Well Coordinator serving as a guide. To support your journey, you’ll have full access to programming aligned with the 360Well circles, personal training to support your physical well-being, and programs designed to build connections and community.
