OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org "It's not a pure science" Making the decision to leave your home and move to a retirement community can be a pretty daunting experience. With so many choices, a variety of options, pricing and terminology to wade through, it's no wonder some people find the whole process overwhelming. As a scientist, I approached the retirement decision like I do many things. I collected all the data, examined the information, reviewed the financial requirements and surveyed many friends. I love to travel, and had been going on tours with people from Oak Crest for years. In all that time, I had never heard even one negative comment. I then took the first step and made an appointment to meet with the staff at Oak Crest. What I found only confirmed my earlier research and impressions. Oak Crest met all my requirements with wonderful surroundings, a solid financial background, a guarantee of life care and security and affordability. And, as I anticipated, from the minute I walked in I found a home that is warm and welcoming, supportive and caring and embraces my individuality and independence. Besides, I had many of my travel friends, nearby. When you get right down to it there's more to retirement than facts and figures. To truly appreciate all that life at Oak Crest has to offer, you have to experience it firsthand.
