Watercrest Senior Living Group Earns Prestigious Fortune Top 25 Recognition Just 14 Years After Founding

VERO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Watercrest Senior Living Group has distinguished itself as the highest ranked senior living organization founded in the past two decades to earn the 2026 Fortune Top 25 Best Large Workplaces in Aging Services: Senior Housing and Care. Founded in 2012, Watercrest proudly ranks as No. 23 on the best workplaces list amongst the nation's long-established senior living organizations, an outstanding achievement as recognized by Fortune, a global leader in corporate ranking benchmarks.

The Fortune 2026 Best Workplaces in Aging Services rankings were determined in partnership with Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture and people analytics. Rankings were determined through an analysis of employee survey feedback representing more than 217,000 U.S. employees in the aging services industry. The evaluation recognizes organizations that demonstrate an exceptional associate experience, with employee feedback serving as the foundation for identifying workplaces where people feel valued, respected, and supported.

"Ranking among the Fortune Top 25 Best Workplaces in Aging Services is a significant accomplishment we are celebrating just 14 years into our founding of Watercrest," says Marc Vorkapich, Principal and CEO of Watercrest Senior Living Group. "Serving our associates is fundamental to serving our residents. By investing in our people, fostering trusted relationships, and living our Principles of Service, we cultivate a culture where compassion, excellence, and purpose are part of everything we do."

Achieving this distinction from Fortune adds to Watercrest's longstanding record of workplace excellence, including nine consecutive years of certification as a Great Place to Work®. At Watercrest, this recognition reflects a culture intentionally designed around the belief that exceptional resident care begins with associates who feel connected to a meaningful purpose. The company's "We Are Watercrest" movement further reinforces this shared commitment by celebrating the individual contributions of associates throughout the organization, encouraging team members to demonstrate Watercrest's core values in their daily interactions.

Watercrest Senior Living Group  recently celebrated the fourteen-year anniversary of its founding when principals Marc Vorkapich, CEO and Joan Williams, CFO built Watercrest with a simple three-part mission: To Welcome, To Care, To Serve. That mission is anchored by six guiding principles of service that Watercrest holds its associates to at every community: serving a purpose greater than themselves, acting as trusted advisors, honoring our mothers and fathers, raising people up, creating meaningful and memorable experiences, and committing to excellence as the standard in everything they do.
