Waterstone Appoints Advisor for Stamford Senior Living Community

STAMFORD, CONN. - (February, 2021) – Waterstone on High Ridge, Stamford’s most comprehensive senior community offering luxury independent, assisted living and memory care has announced the appointment of Sara Philpott as its new Senior Advisor.

Ms. Philpott of Stamford has extensive experience in program development, sales and marketing in the senior living industry. Prior to joining Waterstone on High Ridge, Ms. Philpott served as Community Sales Director for a senior living community in Darien, Conn.

“Sara has achieved a high level of success in her previous positions in the senior living industry. As a resident of Stamford, Sara is well acquainted with the community and understands how to build relationships and connect with new and prospective residents. We welcome her to Waterstone on High Ridge,’’ said Joanna Cormac Burt, COO of Epoch Senior Living.

In her new role, Ms. Philpott will be responsible for all aspects of internal and external sales and marketing. She will also build relationships with families, clients and prospective families within the community and referral sources.

Located at 215 High Ridge Road in Stamford on a beautiful wooded campus next to a conservation area, Waterstone on High Ridge features 146 residences. There are 88 independent living apartments ranging from one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus, to two-bedroom and two-bedroom plus. The 36 assisted living residences include studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments. Memory care has 22 suites. Waterstone on High Ridge is being built by leaders in the field Epoch Senior Living and National Development. It is currently under construction and scheduled for opening late 2021.

Prior to her work in Darien, Ms. Philpott served as Community Sales Director at a senior living residence in Westport, Conn. She has served in various capacities at senior living communities in Chester, Conn. and Bridgewater, NJ.

“It’s wonderful being able to work in my home community of Stamford. Waterstone on High Ridge is bringing a unique, new product that has been missing from the Fairfield County market. The level and variety of amenities, programs and larger apartment options, combined with the broad continuum of care is typically only available at entrance fee communities. The Waterstone offers luxury living and quality care options on a rental basis. This model does not require residents to tie up a major portion of their assets and future estate by paying a large up front “buy-in” fee,” said Ms. Philpott.
