Watercrest Naples Receives Award of Merit as Best Service Enriched Senior Community in the PCBC 2020 Gold Nugget Awards

The Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC) Gold Nugget Awards recognize top innovators in design, planning, and development for builders, developers, architects, interior designers and land planners with communities across the United States and internationally. Now in its 57^th year, GNA is the largest and most prestigious competition of its kind in the nation.  Watercrest Naples Assisted Living and Memory Care received an award of merit in the Best Service Enriched Senior Community category for independent living, assisted living and memory care communities.

Watercrest Naples is a 128-unit luxury senior living community developed by Watercrest Senior Living Group and United Properties; and constructed by Walker & Company. The community offers 96 assisted living and 32 memory care apartments with premium accommodations, resort-style amenities, and world-class care. Residents enjoy pampering in 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.

Architected by D2 Architecture with interior design by Interior Design Associates, the community boasts a stunning promenade, fireplace, signature water wall, multiple dining options, pool, salon and spa, grand balconies, and Florida-style outdoor living spaces in a peaceful setting. Watercrest’s uniquely designed Market Street Plaza showcases an ‘outdoor’ streetscape with numerous LifeBUILT programming touches; a highlight and crucial element of their multi-sensory memory care programming.

“It is an honor to be recognized by PCBC as a leader in innovation and design, and specifically for the exceptional services we provide to seniors at our Watercrest communities,” said Marc Vorkapich, Principal and CEO of Watercrest Senior Living Group.
