Watermark Retirement Communities
What Watermark Retirement Communities has in Tucson, AZ, is assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Assisted living lends support for dressing, bathing, and medication, while the apartment stays private. In independent living, a resident enjoys their own space along with community services, and care is not scheduled for them. Memory care brings a secured setting and staff supervision for individuals whose dementia could lead them to wander.
As needs increase, a resident has the option to change levels while remaining in the same community. Housing options include studios, one-bedroom units, or two-bedroom units. A studio is an individual’s personal area, while the two-bedroom accommodates a couple or someone seeking companionship. Pets can relocate as well.
Walk Score assigns the area a 33, which makes it car-dependent, meaning a resident who no longer drives will likely require transportation for everyday errands. There are outings to local art galleries, personal training sessions, spa and massage services, and nutrition counseling.
