U.S. News & World Report Names Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach a Best Assisted Living and Memory Care Community For Two Consecutive Years

VERO BEACH, Fla., June 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida has once again been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a “Best Assisted Living Community” and “Best Memory Care Community” in the 2023-2024 Best Senior Living Communities Report.

This is the second consecutive year Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach has been prestigiously recognized by U.S. News & World Report, earning “Best” status by achieving the highest possible rating for both Assisted Living and Memory Care. U.S. News awards the designation of Best Senior Living only to those communities that satisfy U.S. News’s objective statistical assessment of each senior living community’s performance from consumer satisfaction surveys administered between March 2022 and February 2023. These surveys reflect the viewpoints of more than 250,000 current residents and family members of residents living in nearly 4,000 senior living communities nationwide.

“It is a distinct honor to achieve the U.S. News & World Report designation of a ‘Best Assisted Living’ and a ‘Best Memory Care’ community for two straight years,” says Marc Vorkapich, principal and chief executive officer of Watercrest Senior Living Group. “This truly reflects the spectacular work of our Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach team and their dedicated leader, Kim Haddon, in creating an award-winning environment for our seniors.”

Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach was dually recognized for excellence in the categories of food and dining, care services, value, activities and enrichment, management, staff and hospitality, location and environment, and safety.

The second annual U.S. News Best Senior Living ratings and profiles offer comprehensive information and exclusive analysis of consumer satisfaction data evaluating such factors as safety, caregiving, management, staff, food and dining, and activities. The ratings recognize communities that excelled at making residents feel safe, well cared for and highly satisfied by the services provided by their communities. For more than 30 years, U.S. News has served the American public as an unbiased arbiter of quality across a variety of important choices. Whether picking a college, selecting a hospital or moving to a nursing home, consumers go to U.S. News to research and make consequential life decisions.
