OAKCRESTDeKalb Area Retirement Center
www.oakcrestdekalb.org
“We have it all...”You have probably heard the saying, seeing isbelieving. We had heard it too. But each and everytime we visited other retirement communitiesnear our home in Wheaton we found out they justweren’t able to live up to our expectations.At somepoint during our search, good friends told us OakCrest has it all – great location, beautiful homes,unbeatable amenities and future security. I’ll be honest with you, wewere still a little skeptical.Then we visited Oak Crest and after meetingthe friendly staff and talking with people who make Oak Crest theirhome we were convinced.
Now, we call Oak Crest home and tell everyone we know that it’s true.Oak Crest has it all and so do we.
