OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org "MY PERSPECTIVE" Almost forty years ago, the leaders of the local Methodist church envisioned Oak Crest. When it opened in 1980, I began as a volunteer, a role I enjoy even today. In 1984, my father entered Oak Crest where he received excellent care. In 1995 I was elected to the Oak Crest Board of Trustees, and served as president when we built and dedicated a new independent addition that opened in 1999. Fast forward ahead and I am now a resident living in that very same addition. I have arrived! What am I experiencing here in my new home? I'll tell you, life at Oak Crest goes beyond delicious meals, a lovely apartment, security of life care, individualized fitness and a heated pool and the many social and educational opportunities. Life at Oak Crest means I discovered a big loving extended family. DiAnne Schmitt My circle of friends expanded when I made the move to Oak Crest. I invite you to come and experience all that Oak Crest offers. My son, Phil often teases me saying, "Mom, you are having entirely too much fun!" You know what? He's right.
