The chef at The Watermark at Marco Island.

An associate from The Watermark at Marco Island was recently featured in an article published by Argentum on how he aims to change preconceived ideas about dining for seniors.

Chef Salvatore Pezzella has worked in five-star restaurants across the world and recently brought his talents to the community, where he is working toward being the first chef in a senior living community to win the James Beard Award.

“The first time I visited Watermark, I said I have an opportunity to make something special here,” Salvatore said. “The mentality at Watermark is very original — focusing on longevity and health — and I have the opportunity to tell my story and the story of Marco Island through food.”

Read more about Chef Salvatore and the special person in his life who inspired him to cook.

Now open, The Watermark at Marco Island is a sophisticated Assisted Living and Memory Care community. Here, residents can maintain an active lifestyle with the highest level of personalized support — and without ever leaving the island they love.
