About Watermark

The Watermark Story

Transforming senior living with passion and purpose for more than 30 years.

What do you call a person who sees possibilities, who looks at what is and imagines what can be? Some say “dreamer.” Others say “visionary.” And the doubters, well they say “fool.”

Back in 1985, David Freshwater took a chance. He saw those senior “homes” that told residents when to wake up, what time to eat, and how to “safely” stay entertained. He talked with the residents — the men and women who’d created businesses, raised families, played symphonies, penned novels, fought in wars — and heard how they yearned to keep on living, even as their bodies slowed down.
