Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach delivers two primary levels of support: assisted living and a dedicated memory care program. Licensed nurses and certified caregivers are on duty around the clock to provide individualized care plans, medication administration, blood-pressure monitoring, and coordination with outside physicians or therapists. For residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, the community offers a secured neighborhood staffed by team members trained in redirection techniques and behavior management. Emergency response systems are located throughout the residence, and care staff track changes in condition so families and physicians receive timely updates.
Complementing the core clinical services are a range of wellness resources designed to help residents maintain stability and avoid unnecessary hospital visits. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged on-site, and visiting specialists such as podiatrists and audiologists hold regular clinics. Residents receive quarterly health assessments, fall-risk evaluations, and diabetic oversight when needed, while scheduled transportation ensures they reach outside medical appointments. A calendar of cognitive exercise classes, balance training, and disease-specific support groups rounds out the care platform.
Living accommodations include studio, one-bedroom, and companion-style apartments equipped with step-in showers, grab bars, and emergency pull cords; select floor plans add kitchenettes, walk-in closets, or patio access, but not every unit carries all of these features. Utilities, weekly housekeeping, and laundry service are bundled into the monthly rate, and maintenance staff handle repairs to minimize resident disruption. Residents are free to furnish their own spaces to create a familiar environment, and thermostats in each apartment allow personal climate control.
Three chef-prepared meals are served daily in the main dining room, with menu options reviewed by a registered dietitian to address sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets. A separate, quiet dining area is available for memory care residents who benefit from reduced stimuli and specialized plating techniques that encourage independence. Snacks, beverages, and hydration stations are accessible throughout the day, and families can reserve a private room for celebrations. Residents who prefer flexible schedules can take advantage of a lighter-fare bistro serving soups, salads, and sandwiches outside of standard meal times.
