Water Oak Villa

WATER OAK VILLA, a memory care facility that specializes in Alzheimer's and dementia in Jasper, opened its doors in February 2023. The first resident moved in on March 11.

Water Oak Villa is owned by Sam and Leigh Watts, and Dr. Jennifer Beasley serves as medical director, providing primary care services to the residents at the facility. "It's not as hard on the residents or the families to have to come and take them to those appointments. That's been a plus for her coming here to see them," Leigh Watts said.

Water Oak Villa employs around 20 staff members and offers 24/7 nursing care.

Residents are assisted with all activities of daily living.

Leigh Watts said she and her husband are excited for the facility to be open and look forward to welcoming more residents. "The outpouring of support from all around the community has truly been amazing," Watts said. "I've had lots of people already volunteer to come up here to do activities with the residents or just whatever they can do to help. The whole community of Jasper has just been amazing."

Water Oak Villa is located at 657 Curry Highway in Jasper and people may inquire about the facility by calling 205­265­2058.
