Watercrest Buena Vista Senior Living Community Celebrates 100% Resident Occupancy

VERO BEACH, Fla., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Watercrest Buena Vista Senior Living Community celebrates the outstanding achievement of reaching 100% resident occupancy in their award-winning senior living community in The Villages of Central Florida. The community hosted a celebratory event with residents, associates, and family members to mark the significant milestone of filling their independent, assisted living and memory care residences.

Reaching 100% occupancy at Watercrest Buena Vista is a tremendous accomplishment and a true reflection of our associates' commitment to excellence, servant leadership, and creating meaningful experiences for those we serve," says Marc Vorkapich, Principal and CEO of Watercrest Senior Living Group.

The celebration at Watercrest Buena Vista is not just about a full building, but about a community filled with stories, friendships, and people who feel like family.  Diane Coleman has been a resident of Watercrest Buena Vista since the building first opened in February of 2018, when she and her husband, who has since passed, moved into independent living. Over the years, Diane discovered that Watercrest was much more than a place to live. "Not only did we make new friends, but we also made a family here," Diane says. The community became a place of connection, belonging, and comfort. For Diane, community life is about being surrounded by people who share memories and understand experiences.

Watercrest Buena Vista has recently received multiple awards of distinction, including the prestigious recognition by U.S. News & World Report as two-time Best Independent Living Community in the Best Senior Living Communities Report, and a 100% deficiency free survey from the state of Florida.

"We are thrilled to celebrate this achievement as a result of our teams' dedication to serving a purpose greater than themselves and creating a community where people feel valued, cared for, and respected." says Jennifer Butler, Executive Director of Watercrest Buena Vista.
