Philosophy 

We want you and your family to be happy with your new lifestyle; we promise you that we will be with you every step of the way during this important transition. Our membership process assures a good fit for both your loved one and you. We guarantee it.

Our Approach is based on these five factors for life quality:

• Holistic wellness

• Total Personalization

• Dignity

• Encouragement

• Acceptance

  These five factors comprise a life well lived at any age, any one of them lost creates a dependence that is unfulfilling for the individual.  Within the framework of the copyrighted Oak Crest Keeping Program these components ensure individuality and meaning in a seniors’ life.

Historical Tradition

 exceeding your expectations

Oak Crest was founded by local philanthropists to meet a growing need for care of older adults. In 1901 George and Mary Lord leveled their home and donated the site for the construction of the Old Peoples Home of Elgin. In the 1950’s the name was changed to Oak Crest Residence and in 2000 the Atrium was added.
