Watermark Retirement Communities has appointed Mariano Perez as executive direc- tor at The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey, a new luxury senior living community in Oceanside, Calif., set to open in September. “The Hacienda is an extraordinary senior living community like no other that captures the laid-back coastal lifestyle of Oceanside. We are pleased to attract industry leaders like Mariano, who brings a wealth of experience and vision to guide us through the opening and into the community’s future success,” said David Freshwater, chairman of Water- mark Retirement Communities. The Ha- cienda is unique among other Watermark communities in that it is on the campus of the historic Mission Luis Rey itself, allowing residents to soak in the serenity, history, and natural beauty of the area.

• Tony Ruberg, senior managing director at VIUM Capital

“What Joe & Bella is creating is what has been long needed for senior-housing resi- dents and their families,” said Petras. “Joe & Bella provides a double advantage: clothes that residents love to wear because of their premium style and comfort, but that also make the dressing process easier and quick- er, in turn saving caregivers precious time, stress, and strain.”
