When you think of
Assisted Living, what comes to mind? Something dreary and boring, maybe? Dull hallways and bingo cards, perhaps? Many of us are stuck believing in outdated notions about senior living, but it’s time to refresh our thinking.
Did you know that approximately 800,000 Americans are Assisted Living residents? It’s true. And the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) estimates that number to double to 1.6 million by the year 2030 as more and more people discover the changing dynamic of today's senior housing options. Moving to an Assisted Living community for seniors is no longer about what you might be giving up — it's about what you’re gaining in return. At The Watermark at Marco Island, you can enjoy resort-style living with sophisticated residences, enriching activities, and integrative wellness options. Here, Assisted Living offers the perfect blend of personalized support and independence, with thoughtful care and abundant opportunities to engage, grow, and stay active.
What’s more, making the move to Assisted Living often means having more personal freedom – not less. We hear from our members time and again that they chose to make the move in part to gain freedom from the general upkeep of maintaining a home.
Mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, and other chores demand valuable time, but at The Watermark at Marco Island, there are so many more enjoyable ways to spend each day. Cooking and cleaning the kitchen? No, thank you. You can enjoy rave-worthy cuisine in the ambience of our stylish on-site dining venues.
Another key reason to consider a move to Assisted Living is the vibrant social life. Here, members have easy access to a multitude of diverse opportunities for true connection, such as award-winning Watermark University classes, fitness programming, local excursions, signature EngageVR® virtual reality experiences, and more.
Then there's the peace of mind — for you and your loved one — that comes with knowing expert personal care is right here, ready to meet any need, even if those needs change in the future. And, really, that might just be the biggest reason of all.
At The Watermark at Marco Island, we’ve gathered helpful information and resources to help provide insight into what Assisted Living is really all about and how it can create new opportunities for engagement, enjoyment, and enrichment.
