VERO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Watercrest Richmond Assisted Living and Memory Care has not yet opened their doors to residents but is already creating an impact in their local community. Last month, the team at Watercrest Richmond partnered with the Aging & Disability Service in Chesterfield County for their 'Christmas in July' program. The 'Christmas in July' program aids aging seniors in the community by providing specific items on their wish list.

Christine King, Community Relations Director at Watercrest Richmond Assisted Living and Memory Care, delivers items to Terry and Ann Donohue who recently suffered a house fire. The Donohue's expressed their sincere gratitude to everyone involved in the Christmas in July assistance program.

"Our Watercrest team received a list from Terry and Ann Donohue who had lost many personal and household items in a fire," said Christine King, Community Relations Director. "Delivering the items to the Donohue's was a very moving experience; they were so incredibly grateful. Our hearts are filled with joy knowing Watercrest made this couple's day brighter!"

As neighbors, family members, and friends, they share the emotional connection that inspires a sense of community at each Watercrest location. As part of the company-wide effort coined "Common Unity" initiatives, Watercrest associates are committed to positively influencing the fulfillment of needs in their hometown.
