First-ever assisted living community to open on Marco Island

Leasing is underway at the first-ever assisted living and memory care community on Marco Island. 

The community, The Watermark at Marco Island, has 86 units, according to a statement. The Watermark, according to a statement, “will place a unique focus on whole-person wellness and healthy aging and offer resort-style amenities, waterfront views and longevity-based care to local seniors.” The community, at 1170 San Marco Road, is scheduled to open later this year on Marco, which is linked to Collier County by bridges south of Naples. 

Tucson, Arizona-based Watermark Retirement Communities manages The Watermark at Marco Island. The company’s model, the release states, revolves around helping “residents develop, manage and implement comprehensive health, fitness and wellness programs rooted in the four interconnected circles of wellness: mind, body, spirit and community.”
