ROSEVILLE, CA — Watermark Retirement Communities has announced that Sonrisa Assisted Living and Memory Care is now open and welcoming new members to its assisted-living and memory-care accommodations in this city 20 miles northeast of Sacramento. Developed in collaboration with real estate developer Alliance, Sonrisa Assisted Living and Memory Care joins the existing Sonrisa Senior Living, an independent-living community, to offer three levels of specialized care and support for seniors as they age.
“We’re thrilled to open Sonrisa Assisted Living and Memory Care and provide Roseville seniors with the care they need through every stage of their lives,” Watermark Retirement Communities CEO/President David Barnes said in a press release. “We’re confident that the opening of the Assisted-Living and Memory-Care neighborhoods will create a vibrant campus for seniors, allowing them to thrive while living a life of choice and possibility.”
Sonrisa Assisted Living and Memory Care spans over 128,000 square feet and features 110 assisted-living and 26 memory-care apartments. There’s an art studio for creativity classes, a dog park, a theater, a fitness studio and gym, and a garden.
“The experience we’re offering at Sonrisa Assisted Living and Memory Care is centered around dignity, respect, and joy,” said Jessica Galvez, executive director of Sonrisa Assisted Living & Memory Care. “Through our stunning space and robust list of programming, we’re creating a community where every resident feels valued and cared for — body, mind and spirit.”
