VERO BEACH, Fla., Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Watercrest Senior Living Group proudly announces that Sage Park San Antonio has been prestigiously recognized by U.S. News & World Report earning “Best in Nursing Homes/Short Term Rehabilitation” in the 2025-26 Best Senior Living Communities Report. Sage Park San Antonio earned an impressive score of 5.0 out of 5.0 in overall ratings.
U.S. News & World Report honors Sage Park San Antonio as
Best in Nursing Homes/Short Term Rehabilitation. Watercrest Senior Living was awarded operational management of the community in August 2025.
Watercrest Senior Living Group was recently awarded management of the senior living community formerly known as Juniper Village at Lincoln Heights located in San Antonio, Texas. As of August 1st, Watercrest Senior Living has stepped in to provide operational leadership of the community under new management and launched the brand repositioning to Sage Park San Antonio. This expansion broadens Watercrest Senior Living operations across the Southeast into Texas and includes the launch of two additional communities rebranded as Sage Park Austin and Sage Park Guadalupe.
The U.S. News & World Report distinction places Sage Park San Antonio among the exclusive 19% of nursing homes nationally to earn the “High Performance” rating, the highest possible achievement. Sage Park San Antonio rated as high performing in all categories: staffing, healthy outcomes, and processes.
“Since the transition to the Watercrest family of communities, the Sage Park San Antonio team has risen to the occasion to ensure accountability and exceed expectations in honoring our seniors with the highest level of care and dedication,” says Marc Vorkapich, principal and chief executive officer of Watercrest Senior Living Group. “To be named the Best in Nursing Homes/Short Term Rehabilitation, and to be amongst the nation’s top tier performers, is truly a testament to the outstanding team in place at Sage Park San Antonio.”
Best Nursing Homes ratings are based on U.S. News’s in-depth analysis of publicly available data, including information that is not factored into the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) star ratings. Unlike the CMS star ratings, the U.S. News ratings recognize that patients undergoing relatively short-term rehabilitation have very different needs from those who require longer-term care.
Founded by Marc Vorkapich, CEO, and Joan Williams, CFO, Watercrest Senior Living Group is unique in their growth mindset, modeling servant leadership and exceptional standards of customer service within every level of the organization. Watercrest associates champion a culture which nurtures relationships in the interest of acting as trusted advisors. By continuously investing in these servant hearts, Watercrest develops value-centered leaders who deliver personalized service.
