Sage Park San Antonio Celebrates Great Place to Work Certification Under Watercrest Management

Sage Park San Antonio Achieves Great Place to Work Certification

Sage Park San Antonio has reached a significant milestone by earning the prestigious Great Place to Work® certification, managed under the operational expertise of Watercrest Senior Living Group. This achievement, announced on June 19, 2026, honors their commitment to creating a supportive and engaging workplace environment for all employees.

The Great Place to Work® certification is awarded based on a comprehensive workplace survey that evaluates critical aspects of the employee experience. Key elements assessed include trust in leadership, camaraderie among coworkers, growth opportunities, and the overall meaningful impact of their roles. With this recognition, Watercrest proudly marks its ninth consecutive year of receiving the prestigious title, a clear testament to its unwavering dedication to cultivating an exceptional work culture.

Marc Vorkapich, CEO and Principal of Watercrest Senior Living Group, commented on this accomplishment, stating, “Achieving Great Place to Work certification for nine years in a row is truly a remarkable reflection of our associates and the culture we have built together. We believe that when individuals feel valued and inspired by a purpose greater than themselves, extraordinary things happen.” This sentiment captures the essence of Watercrest's mission, which revolves around honoring elders through compassionate care and servant leadership.

Great Place to Work's analysis reveals that the highest-performing workplaces prioritize trust, connection, and pride among their employees. Organizations that receive this recognition, such as Watercrest, additionally demonstrate remarkable leadership effectiveness, innovation, and long-term sustainability—qualities that resonate within the organization's culture.

Jessica Desjarlais, Director of Associate Experience, emphasized the importance of investing in employees: “When associates feel appreciated and supported, residents and families experience the very best of who we are.” This positive ripple effect underscores Watercrest's commitment to employee welfare and, in turn, enhances the care and service provided to residents.

In a notable expansion in Summer 2025, Watercrest Senior Living Group took over the management of the senior living community previously known as Juniper Village at Lincoln Heights, located in San Antonio, Texas. As of August 1, Watercrest began providing operational leadership under the new brand identity, Sage Park San Antonio. This rebranding effort also included the establishment of new communities, Sage Park Austin and Sage Park Guadalupe, broadening Watercrest's reach and services into Texas.

Sage Park San Antonio offers a range of services, including assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care, all aimed at promoting personal wellness and healthy aging. Conveniently located between Lincoln Heights and Alamo Heights, the community is ready to welcome new residents into an enriching environment.
