Watermark Retirement Communities, headquartered in Tucson, Ariz., brings a 20-year history of designing purposeful living and growth for senior living retirement communities.

Under its new owner, The Watermark at East Hill will further enhance its commitment to providing an engaged senior lifestyle for its current and future residents.

"We see great potential in the future of The Watermark at East Hill and all that it will continue to offer older adults in the Southbury area," said David Barnes, president of Watermark Retirement Communities.

"This is a very successful and financially sound community, which is what attracted our interest. Our investment in East Hill goes beyond the physical structure of the community.

"We, at Watermark, are committed to creating a culture where people can fully experience and celebrate their lives and express their true selves."

Situated on 55 acres overlooking the Pomperaug River Valley, The Watermark at East Hill features maintenance-free living in 164 apartment homes, with multiple customizing options.

The Watermark at East Hill embraces residents' independent lifestyles, while offering the security of priority access to on-site assisted living and skilled nursing care, if ever needed.

Mr. Barnes said Watermark has plans for expanding and renovating The Watermark at East Hill to firmly establish it as the community of choice for current and future generations of "un-retiring" retirees.

In addition, Watermark will be enhancing the programs to give residents further opportunities to take their lives in new directions. Watermark will bring its "express your Self" program to the community to encourage everyone to express their true selves.

In 2008, lifelong learning and wellness programs will be added through Watermark University, and service opportunities through Watermark for Kids, the non-profit foundation that partners residents, staff and their families to reach out to local underserved children.

The community provides fitness and wellness classes, nutritious dining options, a wide range of educational, cultural and creative programming, and encourages residents to express their creativity.
