Sage Park Guadalupe Achieves Great Place to Work Certification with Watercrest

Sage Park Guadalupe Earns Great Place to Work Certification

Sage Park Guadalupe, a senior living community in Texas, has proudly announced its recent certification as a Great Place to Work® under the operational guidance of Watercrest Senior Living Group. This distinguished certification, awarded by the Great Place to Work Institute in association with Activated Insights, underscores the commitment of Sage Park to creating a workplace culture that prioritizes the well-being and satisfaction of its employees.

This accomplishment marks the ninth consecutive year for Watercrest to gain this prestigious recognition, evidencing their ongoing dedication to fostering an environment where associates feel valued, supported, and empowered. The Great Place to Work certification is based on comprehensive employee feedback collected through a thorough workplace survey. This survey evaluates various aspects of the employee experience, including the level of trust in leadership, opportunities for growth, camaraderie among coworkers, and the meaningful impact employees feel they have in their roles.

Marc Vorkapich, Principal and CEO of Watercrest Senior Living Group, expressed pride in this achievement, stating, "Achieving Great Place to Work certification for nine consecutive years is a remarkable reflection of our associates and the culture we have built together. At Watercrest, we believe that when people feel valued, supported, and inspired by a purpose greater than themselves, extraordinary things happen. Our associates embody our Principles of Service and demonstrate each day what it means to honor our elders through compassionate care and servant leadership."

The research consistently indicates that high-performing workplaces are built on trust and pride among employees. Those organizations recognized for excellence in this regard also show remarkable leadership effectiveness, innovation, and sustainability—qualities that are integral to Watercrest's corporate culture. Jessica Desjarlais, Director of Associate Experience, emphasized the importance of investing in people, noting, "Investing in our people creates a positive ripple effect throughout our communities. When associates feel appreciated and supported, residents and families experience the very best of who we are."

In the summer of 2025, the Watercrest Senior Living Group took on the management of the senior living community previously known as Juniper Village at Guadalupe Riverfront, located in Kerrville, Texas. This transition, which took effect on August 1, involved a rebranding to Sage Park Guadalupe and represented an expansion of Watercrest's operations into Texas. Additionally, this led to the launch of two more communities rebranded as Sage Park Austin and Sage Park San Antonio—all underlining the growth and reach of the company.

Sage Park Guadalupe provides a range of independent and assisted living accommodations, featuring various spacious floor plans designed to promote personal wellness and healthy aging. The community is conveniently located at 135 Plaza Drive. For those interested in exploring their options, tours can be scheduled by contacting the community at 830-396-5946.

Importantly, the Great Place to Work certification extends to all senior living facilities operating under the Watercrest umbrella, which includes not just Sage Park communities but also Pelican Landing Assisted Living and Memory Care, as well as LifeBUILT Architecture.
