VERO BEACH, Fla., March 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- At Palm Bay Memory Care, residents, family members and associates joined together for festive and friendly competition in the Palm Bay 2020 Winter Olympic Games. Watercrest Senior Living, operator of Palm Bay Memory Care, coordinated the Olympic Games as part of Watercrest's Live Exhilarated™ program, which encourages resident's creativity, activity, and social engagement while engaging in diverse and enriching programs.
