“I did it my way…” You know that old Sinatra song, the one where Frank croons, “I did it my way?” Well, when it came time for me to think about the future I knew for certain I wanted to remain in the DeKalb community, in a place I know and love, surrounded by good Marguerite Key friends. I also knew that I didn’t want to rely on others to make my decisions and wanted to have the ability to choose not only where I live but how I live. I was so impressed when I visited Oak Crest and saw the many and varied options.
