Living Water Communities – New Beginnings

In today’s fast-paced world, home is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a sanctuary. That’s where resort-style living comes in. This lifestyle trend blends the comfort of home with the luxury and convenience of a high-end resort. Think spa-like amenities, lush outdoor spaces, and personalized services that make every day feel like a vacation.

Defining Resort-Style Living

Resort-style living is all about elevated comfort, convenience, and community. Hallmarks of this lifestyle include:

• Luxurious amenities like pools, spas, and fitness centers
• Concierge services that cater to your daily needs
• Beautifully landscaped grounds and tranquil outdoor spaces
• Social hubs such as lounges, bars, and clubhouses
• Pet-friendly features and wellness-focused design

It’s a lifestyle that prioritizes well-being, relaxation, and connection—without ever leaving home.

• Physical Health Decline: Aging involves oxidative stress, reduced organ function, and increased risk of chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
• Mental and Cognitive Changes: Memory and processing speed may change, while emotional health can be challenged by loss, loneliness, and anxiety about the future.
• Social and Functional Changes: Independence may be challenged, leading to the need for lifestyle adjustments and, for some, reduced social circles. 

• Emotional and Psychological Shift: Many experience a loss of purpose, identity, and structure, leading to “retirement syndrome” (feelings of emptiness or uselessness).
• Social Isolation: Retirement reduces daily contact with colleagues, which can lead to loneliness and decreased social interaction.
• Health and Lifestyle Impact: While some enjoy better health due to reduced stress, others may experience a decline in physical health or, conversely, improvement, depending on whether the retirement was voluntary and if they remain active.
• Financial Adjustment: Retirement often leads to a shift in income, creating financial stress for many, especially if they haven’t planned effectively. 

• Social Connections: Active engagement with family, friends, and community is crucial to buffer against loneliness and depression.
• Purposeful Activity: Volunteering, hobbies, or part-time work can replace the sense of achievement previously provided by a career.
• Financial and Health Planning: A secure financial footing and proactive health management are significant predictors of a healthier, more active retirement.

Average life expectancy is also increasing. In increased the U.S., it68 years in 1950 to 79 in 2013. Today, a male turning 65 is expected to live to age 84.3 on average, while a 65-year-old female is expected to live to 86.6. Of the babies born in 2007, 50 percent are now predicted to live to 104 in the U.S.

This is not just a U.S. phenomenon. According to the United Nations, the number of people 80 years of age and older globally is predicted to triple in less than four decades, growing from 137 million in 2017 to 425 million by 2050.

Our desire is to impact the largest segment in America, those 65 and older to fill a vital need for humanity of making the SILVER YEARS to be the most productive years.  We began by contacting Churches across the United States concerning extending their outreach to make a true difference in the Senior Communities.  Many churches in America have attained extra land that often sits vacant.  They purchased large tracts to include larger Sanctuaries as well as  Schools and Day Cares and as a result have 5 or more acres sitting vacant.  Initially we worked exclusively with Churches to consider leasing us this land and provide additional income streams.  But we have expanded to include purchasing strategic plots of ground and are working to incorporate Churches to become actively involved with us to impact this vital segment of our Society.  

 Living Water Communities has expanded to include its own Development and Management Partnerships offering a combination of more than 100 years of experience within the Senior Living Industry as well as in the Marketing, Construction and Faith Initiatives.  We began working to raise funding for 7 plus communities and in the fall prior, to the out break of Covid 19, we were in the final stages of raising more than $800,000,000 for the construction and development of Senior Communities.    But as a result of Covid 19, the movement toward funding and construction came to a virtual halt.  Today, once again we are approaching the final steps of Closing the Capitalization of nearly $900 Million for phase one of meeting this enormous Humanitarian need in America and have agreements in place for an additional $1-2 Billion in the next 2-4 years.  Additionally, we are working to meet a vital need in Yulee, Florida for Workforce Housing.  The Omni Hotel and the Ritz Carlton see their workers traveling as far as 50 miles daily due to the lack of Workforce Housing.  We have positioned ourselves to fund this tremendous need for the Workers in NE Florida.

During the second and third quarters of 2026 we will begin the construction of these projects:

• Jacksonville, Florida (ILF, ALF, MC Community)
• Yulee, Florida (200 plus unit workforce housing project)
• Yorktown, Virginia (ILF, ALF, MC Community plus discussions with a local YMCA for the construction of a new facility with the capacity of including Physical Therapy as well as a workout facility including an indoor pool)
• Johnson City, Arkansas (ILF, ALF, MC Community)
• Altamonte Springs, Florida (55 Plus Living)
