Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach, which opened in 2021, offers 75 assisted living and 32 memory care apartments with resort-style service. Residents enjoy pampering in the elegant Spa W, savor private label Watercrest wines at the bistro, and relish the flavors of locally grown, seasonal ingredients and organic fare whether dining outdoors, bistro-style, or in the chef's private dining room.

This is the second consecutive year Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report, earning "Best" status by achieving the highest possible rating for both Assisted Living and Memory Care.

"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 for Watercrest. "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."

Later this year, with its joint venture partners, St. Joe intends to open Watersound Fountains, a luxury independent living community, near the entrance to St. Joe’s Watersound Origins community. Watersound Fountains will feature 148 independent living apartments and a suite of on-site amenities.

“These two communities are complementary to each other given that they cater to residents at different stages of life,” said Dan Velazquez, Senior Vice President of Commercial Real Estate for St. Joe. “We are very proud of this national recognition for Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach, and we look forward to the opening of Watersound Fountains. Each fills a specific need in the market for seniors looking to call Northwest Florida home.”
