As the premier Market Street Memory Care Residences prepares to open in Viera, Florida, Watercrest Senior Living Group has released the highly anticipated second site selection in Pinellas County, on Florida’s west coast.
“Market Street Memory Care Residences on East Lake Road will again raise the bar with a state-of-the-art community, unparalleled service, and personalized enrichment programming enhancing life experiences for our residents, their families, and caregivers,” says Marc Vorkapich, Principal and CEO of Market Street and Watercrest Senior Living Group.
Market Street Memory Care Residences are innovative and artfully designed memory care communities envisioned by Market Street co-owner Marc Vorkapich, CEO and principle of parent company, Watercrest Senior Living Group. Through an operationally driven design and experienced approach to Memory Care, Market Street Communities connect the hearts and minds of residents by stimulating their senses with the goal of re-experiencing memories. Market Street Memory Care Residences are purposefully designed to ignite the human spirit by identifying personal connections to specific sights, sounds, tastes and smells. Honoring each resident’s traditions and interests, certified dementia care practitioners and specialists will utilize specifically designed spaces throughout the community to stimulate the brain and spark meaningful connections.
Market Plaza is the highlight and central gathering space of Market Street Memory Care Residences. The timeless charm of Market Plaza is complete with fresh flowers, trees, and an enticing, active streetscape. Residents enjoying the plaza can stop by the Newsstand or Post Office, browse the Art Gallery and Bakery, and visit the Salon and Spa for special pampering. Multi-sensory activities such as painting, baking, or yoga class offer residents choice and independence while encouraging meaningful interactions.
Market Street Memory Care Residences, architected by LifeBuilt Architecture, will feature an inviting and purposeful design, including spacious accommodations, abundant natural lighting, internal courtyards with lush gardens, circular walkways, visual cueing and multiple social gathering places. Walker and Company plans to break ground on the 46,000 square foot, 64-unit memory care community this fall at 833 East Lake Road North. Ideally located in Tarpon Springs, the city is known for its cultural attractions and historic sponge docks set along 51 miles of alluring waterfront. This unique location offers seniors one of Florida’s most abundant qualities of life.
Market Street is committed to enriching the lives of seniors by providing world-class care, multi-sensory programming, extraordinary culinary experiences, and unparalleled associate training honoring seniors and their families. Market Street associates are Certified Dementia Care Practitioners and Specialists in their field and their unique memory care programming includes Personal Life Silhouettes, Music & Memory, Memories in the Making, For the Love of Color, multi-sensory culinary and gardening experiences, as well as personal well-being activities.
