The Watermark At Marco Island

Marco Island is the largest of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, a barrier island in Collier County connected to the mainland by bridge and known for its Gulf-front beaches, and The Watermark At Marco Island runs a 92-bed assisted living facility at 1170 San Marco Rd in the heart of it. Ninety-two beds places this community near the upper edge of what's typically considered mid-size, enough residents to likely support more than one dining seating, but still short of the scale where a facility starts to feel like a large institution. Many families who retire to or near Marco Island came from colder climates and choose island-adjacent care specifically so an aging parent isn't relocated far from the home they already know. A fair question here is how the facility handles hurricane evacuation planning, given the island's exposure to Gulf storms.
