Alex’s father, Eddie, was a brilliant marketing executive at the pinnacle of his career when he suddenly began experiencing significant health issues. Alex sidelined parts of his own life to help save his dad’s. Hospitalizations followed by failed attempts at in-home care and several different residential programs left Eddie feeling empty. He didn’t want to “just sit around and stare at a wall.” Finally, after two years of constant exploration, the family found just the right senior living setting at a Watermark retirement community where Eddie thrives right through a pandemic.

Before Eddie discovered Watermark, his son Alex shouldered a heavy care burden. Afterward, even at the height of the pandemic, Alex said, “I don’t have to worry about my dad at all, you know. I know he is in great care.” Grateful to have traded sleepless nights for a healthier lifestyle for himself, Alex appreciates quality visits with his dad – even those that took place eight stories below his window.
