Residents are Rocking Around the Christmas Tree at Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care

VERO BEACH, Fla., Dec. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The twinkling of Christmas lights reflected in the eyes of residents at Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care as they danced the evening away surrounded by friends and family at their annual holiday dinner party.

Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach was transformed this season into a winter wonderland complete with snow-tipped trees, brilliant bulbs and festive holiday adornments. As family, friends and residents gathered to celebrate the holiday season, Chef Will and his talented culinary team delivered a mouth-watering feast.  Chef Will served savory prime rib and honey baked ham, scalloped potatoes and bacon wrapped asparagus, finishing with pecan pie and red velvet cake delicately laced in cream cheese icing.

"The feeling of joy and love in the room was electric," beams Kim Haddon, Executive Director of Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach.  "Every member of our Watercrest team dedicated themselves to creating a magical holiday experience for our residents and their smiles and laughter said it all."

With bellies full, guests enjoyed gathering for complimentary photography from Sydney Bassett of Mills Photo Design. Yet, the highlight of the evening came as dozens of residents, family and associates hit the dance floor, grooving to the tunes of live music by Michael Bethea.
