(Newswire.net — August 3, 2013) Bradenton, FL — Water’s Edge of Bradenton, a premier senior assisted living facility in Bradenton, FL., was recently named the top retirement community and assisted living facility in all of Manatee County.

The honors came from the Bradenton Herald’s People Choice Awards. The senior rental retirement community, owned by the non-profit Florida Christian Homes Senior Housing, Inc., won number one honors in both categories.

 “What makes Water’s Edge of Bradenton so extraordinary is a special group of caring professions all working together toward the same goal… taking care of our residents,” said Jim Gillespie, the executive director of the senior retirement community and assisted living facility.

Retirement living should not be about adjustments, but about experiencing new things and having fun while doing it. The staff at this assisted living facility strive to provide ample opportunities for residents to stay active physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. Activities available include structured exercise classes, motivational programs, Water Aerobics, Restorative Yoga, writing and sewing clubs, and Grow Your Brain, a memory enhancement course.

Water’s Edge of Bradenton is consistently recognized for its dedicated, caring, thoughtful and experienced staff, its welcoming residents, the beautiful grounds and common space, the spacious rental apartments available and chef prepared meals. 

Living at Water’s Edge gives residents the opportunity to take an active role in their health as they grow older, Gillespie said. Healthy eating is an important component in that, he explained, and residents always have access to a wealth of nutritional expertise through a chef who provides delicious, nourishing meals every day.

“We provide an atmosphere for our residents to be the very best they can be,” Gillespie said.

“We are blessed to have some of the finest residents in Manatee County,” said Don Westerhoff, the chairman of Florida Christian Homes. “As I have watched our community grow over the past few years, I am always amazed to see how well the new residents fit in and how graciously the existing residents welcome new friends into the community. All of this together makes for a community where residents can thrive and enjoy life.”
