Overview of Watercrest Buena Vista

Facebook

Watercrest Buena Vista offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in The Villages, FL. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having several care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community. Suite housing is available. Starting monthly prices are $4,500 for independent living, $4,900 for assisted living, and $6,695 for memory care; the differences reflect the increasing level of daily assistance and supervision associated with each care type.

Residents can use the pool, verandas, rooftop social area, and other outdoor living spaces for time outside. Dining includes chef-prepared meals in the W Room, poolside, or a private dining room, while salon services, massage, Spa W, fitness, Therapy Services, and rehabilitation services provide on-site options for personal care, wellness, and therapy needs. Transportation is available for residents, and pets are allowed.

A Walk Score of 37 / 100 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. Jennifer Butler serves as the administrator, and PX SHS Buena Vista Operator operates the community.
