Shana Gresh Takes Helm at Watercrest Spanish Springs

Gresh brings over a decade of healthcare experience to her new role, having transitioned from nursing case management and emergency care into senior living. Her focus on personalized, dignified support solidified during her 2021 pivot to memory care, where she prioritized building long-term relationships with residents and their families. At Watercrest, she is tasked with overseeing the community’s signature Live Exhilarated programming and managing a team recognized for its clinical excellence.

The facility maintains a high operational standard, holding a 100% deficiency-free survey from the state of Florida as of 2025. This performance record complements its reputation as a three-time recipient of the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Assisted Living” and “Best Memory Care” designations. Based at 930 Alverez Avenue, the community continues to emphasize specialized care for those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, backed by the broader training and development infrastructure of the Watercrest Senior Living Group.
