04/26/2024 Jazzy tunes drifted through the hallways as Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach hosted a roaring 20's cocktail party for residents, associates and friends. Men donned their finest hats and ties while the ladies sparkled in jeweled flapper gowns, feather boas and ornate headpieces.
Guests gathered at their own speakeasy for a lavish charcuterie spread and a glass of "hooch," as it was called during Prohibition times. The lively notes of the big band had guests on the dance floor showcasing their best dance moves like 'the Charleston, the Shimmy, and the Fox Trot.'
"Our residents were delighted to 'Party like Gatsby' and enjoy the nostalgia of a 1920's throwback party," says Kim Haddon, Executive Director of Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach. "As part of our Watercrest culture, we embrace the opportunities to engage with our residents through unique events that spark fond memories and traditions."
These events are part of the signature Live Exhilarated™ programming by Watercrest Senior Living offering diverse and enriching programs whose benefits greatly exceed the traditional activities typically found in senior living communities. The Live Exhilarated™ program includes thoughtfully planned, multi-part programs: Get Active, Be Curious, Get Connected, Be Uplifted, Get Creative, Be Social, Be Adventurous. These facets focus on celebrating the residents' story, encouraging their pursuit of new passions, optimizing their experience, and offering variety and choice to all residents.
