OAKCRESTDeKalb Area Retirement Centerwww.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Opportunity is knocking…”I’ll be honest with you I have always been a planner and mybest decisions have always been after careful considerationand a great deal of thought. So, when it came time to thinkabout retirement I used this same approach. I knew all aboutOak Crest and even had some experience when seventeenyears agomy husband Bill spent his last days in the capableand caring hands of the Oak Crest nursing staff. I was soimpressedthatIknewthenandtherethatwhenthetimecameI would make my own home at Oak Crest. So, I had theeasy part done. I knew where I wanted to be, I just had to decidethe when. Keep in mind that in my planning the big move was still a couple of yearsin the distance. Well, as fate would have it I decided to take some time when mychildren were home to stop in for a visit. Call it fate or divine intervention but on thatday the perfect apartment, in the best location with the loveliest view had just becomeavailable. It was at that moment I just knew that opportunity was knocking and I didn’twant to miss out. My advice to you is that if you already know the where; then thewhen could be right now! There really is no better time than today to see all that OakCrest has to offer.Margie Moulton, Resident since 2013For more information call (815) 756-8461 orvisit us on the web at www.oakcrestdekalb.org
