Throughout her decade at Watercrest, Jeffries has profoundly impacted the lives of residents and their families, dedicating herself to the enhancement and excellence of service in senior living communities.

A Journey of Excellence

Sheena Jeffries embarked on her journey with Watercrest in the fall of 2016 when she joined as the memory care director for the very first community developed by the company. Demonstrating exceptional skills in training and program implementation, she quickly established herself as a vital part of the organization. As her community thrived, her ability to foster a supportive environment was evident.

By June 2019, her talents led to a promotion to Engagement Specialist. In this role, Jeffries not only mentored others but also spearheaded a dedicated team focused on enhancing memory care and programming at Watercrest. Under her guidance, the introduction of the trademark Live Exhilarated™ program marked a paradigm shift in how residents engaged with their passions, aligning with the principles of holistic wellness. This innovative initiative emphasized the importance of tailoring activities to individual interests, significantly elevating residents' quality of life.

Recognizing her exceptional contributions, Jeffries was promoted to Regional Director of Engagement in 2020. During this period, her focus on training and mentoring became instrumental in elevating Watercrest's illuminate™ approach, further distinguishing the company's memory care offerings. As Watercrest expanded its reach across the Southeast, Jeffries uniquely positioned herself with her robust expertise in program development and dementia training, advocating for both residents' and families' needs.
