Waukee, Iowa (July 15, 2015) Each year, when determining award winners, Watermark Retirement Communities looks at dozens of factors when evaluating its 38 retirement communities throughout the nation.

This year, following these evaluations, The Village at Legacy Pointe took home a whopping 12 Thrive Awards.

The awards were won by associates in many different roles and departments, from administrator assistant to nurse to executive director, showing that the commitment to excellence at The Village at Legacy Pointe is community-wide.

Not only did associates win awards, but resident Anna Marie also won for her role within the community. Even Miss Kitty, Waukee residents Loren and Jo Roiger’s cat, won the pet ambassador award for the joy she brings to residents.

“There’s no substitute for great service and it’s wonderful to see our commitment is making a difference and is being noticed on a national scale,” said Tammy Olson, Executive Director at The Village at Legacy Pointe. “I can’t wait to see how we continue to grow in the next year.”
