DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org
“Opportunity is knocking‌â€? I’ll be honest with you I have always been a planner and my best decisions have always been after careful consideration and a great deal of thought. So, when it came time to think about retirement I used this same approach. I knew all about Oak Crest and even had some experience when seventeen years ago my husband Bill spent his last days in the capable and caring hands of the Oak Crest nursing staff. I was so impressedthatIknewthenandtherethatwhenthetimecame Margie M oulton I would make my own home at Oak Crest. So, I had the easy part done. I knew where I wanted to be, I just had to decide the when. Keep in mind that in my planning the big move was still a couple of years in the distance. Well, as fate would have it I decided to take some time when my children were home to stop in for a visit. Call it fate or divine intervention but on that day the perfect apartment, in the best location with the loveliest view had just become available. It was at that moment I just knew that opportunity was knocking and I didn’t want to miss out. My advice to you is that if you already know the where; then the when could be right now! There really is no better time than today to see all that Oak Crest has to offer.
