VERO BEACH, Fla.—Watercrest Senior Living Group announces Joy Patterson as executive director of Watercrest Fort Mill Assisted Living and Memory Care in Fort Mill-Indian Land, S.C. Watercrest Fort Mill is a 107-unit resort-style senior living community currently under construction by Shiel Sexton and scheduled to welcome residents this spring.
Patterson joined Watercrest Senior Living Group in early 2019, successfully leading the pre-operational management of Watercrest Columbia Assisted Living and Memory Care, before transitioning to her new position as executive director of Watercrest Fort Mill.
Patterson’s health care career began as a senior living marketing director, where her love for seniors and the industry flourished. After achieving her nursing home administrators license and residential care community license, she excelled in a regional role providing leadership and implementing strategic growth for multiple senior living communities.
“I am deeply moved seeing the love, care and happiness in our communities, and I look forward to serving the residents, families, and associates of Fort Mill-Indian Land with excellence,” says Patterson.
Watercrest Fort Mill will offer 75 assisted living and 32 memory care apartments with premium accommodations, resort-style amenities, and world-class care. Residents will enjoy pampering in elegant Spa W, savor private label Watercrest wines at the wine 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.
The innovative design of Watercrest Fort Mill includes a stunning promenade, pool, fireplace, signature water wall, multiple dining venues, and children’s play space. Watercrest’s uniquely designed Market Street Residence will showcase an ‘outdoor’ streetscape with salon and spa, bakery, post office, and numerous LifeBUILT programming touches; a highlight and crucial element of their multi-sensory memory care programming.
Watercrest Fort Mill is ideally situated at 8154 English Clover Lane, in one of South Carolina’s fastest growing communities. It is the second senior living development project partnered between Watercrest Senior Living Group and Waypoint Residential. Their first project, Watercrest Newnan Assisted Living and Memory Care is recently celebrated their grand opening in Newnan, Ga.
