The Watermark at Continental Ranch is a senior living community located on a quiet northwest Tucson campus that offers many types of care, so folks can find what fits their needs as things change over time, and you know, it helps having someone like Tony Burja as the move-in coordinator since he guides new residents through the process. The place runs its business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with office hours from 8 in the morning to 6 in the evening every day, which makes it easier for people to stop by or call when they need to. The campus has a calm, retreat-like atmosphere that's supposed to feel like a five-star resort but in a way that feels friendly and comfortable, not stuffy, and the grounds are intimate compared to some of the bigger places around. The community offers assisted living, independent living, memory care-including specialized support for folks living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia-plus nursing home care and even short-term stay options for those who might need just a bit of help for a while, and there are caregiver support resources available too. Amenities cover a lot of ground, from pet-friendly policies and handicap accessibility to a spa and salon, community common areas, transportation, parking services, and meals that have earned awards, with Gourmet Bites Cuisine offered for those who need it. There are structured activities through programs like Watermark University, Prema Memory Support℠, the Expressions Calendar, Everyday Outings, and EngageVR®, which means residents can join educational opportunities or even try out new technology like virtual reality sets, and they also have a Lifestyle Magazine and an activity calendar to keep everyone in the loop. The staff's known for being friendly, helpful, and always available, which helps a lot with things like bathing, medication management, and making sure everyone's safe-especially in the memory care area, where the setting's tailored to reduce confusion and wandering. Residents can choose from different floor plans shown in their photo galleries, and everything's set up to support living as independently as possible, but there's always someone around if extra help is needed, whether that's assistance with daily activities or access to skilled nursing care. Social events, wellness services, and partnerships with groups like SAGE help keep the community lively, and there's also a Technology Concierge, Accushield for safety, LifeLoop for family connections, and Channel Insertion for entertainment and information. Watermark at Continental Ranch makes it more manageable for folks over 55 to stay active, avoid feeling isolated, and enjoy reliable dining in a secure, welcoming environment, and they offer lots of plans and tools to help both seniors and their families decide what living arrangement is best, with resources like reviews, floor plans, and easy ways to log in and connect using Facebook or Instagram.
