Sage Park San Antonio Earns Great Place to Work® Certification with Watercrest Senior Living Group
VERO BEACH, Fla., June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sage Park San Antonio proudly announces their certification as a Great Place to Work® under the operational management of Watercrest Senior Living Group. Great Place to Work® certification is awarded by the Great Place to Work Institute and its senior care partner Activated Insights.
As part of the certification process, Sage Park associates participated in a comprehensive workplace survey evaluating key elements of the employee experience, including trust in leadership, workplace camaraderie, opportunities for growth, and the meaningful impact of their work. This year marks the ninth consecutive year for Watercrest to earn the impressive Great Place to Work® certification. This milestone reflects Watercrest's enduring commitment to cultivating an exceptional workplace culture where associates feel valued, supported, and empowered to make a meaningful difference in the lives of residents and families.
"Achieving Great Place to Work certification for nine consecutive years is a remarkable reflection of our associates and the culture we have built together," says Marc Vorkapich, Principal and CEO of Watercrest Senior Living Group. "At Watercrest, we believe that when people feel valued, supported, and inspired by a purpose greater than themselves, extraordinary things happen. Our associates embody our Principles of Service and demonstrate each day what it means to honor our elders through compassionate care and servant leadership."
Great Place to Work research consistently shows that the highest-performing workplaces are built on trust, pride, and connection. Organizations recognized for workplace excellence also demonstrate strong leadership effectiveness, innovation, and long-term sustainability—qualities that continue to define the Watercrest culture.
"Investing in our people creates a positive ripple effect throughout our communities," says Jessica Desjarlais, Director of Associate Experience. "When associates feel appreciated and supported, residents and families experience the very best of who we are."
