Watercrest Macon offers two primary levels of support: assisted living and memory care. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock, overseeing medication administration, vital-sign monitoring, and coordination of physician-ordered treatments. Care associates assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other daily tasks according to each resident’s service plan, which is reviewed regularly and adjusted as needs change. The community’s memory care program is designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, providing a secured environment, structured daily schedules, and evidence-based cognitive therapies aimed at slowing progression and reducing anxiety.
Beyond hands-on medical and personal care, residents have access to health and wellness resources that help them stay as independent as possible. An electronic emergency call system links each apartment to staff at all times, and routine health screenings, fall-risk assessments, and on-site rehabilitation services are available. Scheduled transportation helps residents keep external medical appointments, while visiting specialists—such as podiatrists, audiologists, and physical therapists—reduce the need for off-site travel. Family members receive regular care conferences to stay informed and involved in decisions.
Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom suites, each equipped with individual climate controls, barrier-free bathrooms, and basic cable. Some units include kitchenettes, walk-in closets, or private patios, but these features are not present in every floor plan. Weekly housekeeping and linen service are standard, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs to minimize disruptions. Safety measures such as sprinkler systems and smoke detectors are installed throughout the buildings.
Meals are served in a central dining room where residents choose from a rotating menu of chef-prepared dishes that accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, and heart-healthy diets. Pureed or mechanically soft options are available for those with swallowing difficulties, and a dietitian reviews menus to ensure nutritional adequacy. Lighter fare is offered in a bistro during the day, and snacks are accessible at any hour. Families can reserve a private dining space for special occasions, and room service is provided when residents are recovering from illness or prefer to dine in their apartments.
