Oak Crest Priority List Members Plan with Confidence

You've earned your retirement years! Whether you want to relax with a good book or pick up a new hobby, it's important to find an environment that best supports your goals for retirement.

If you're considering a move to Oak Crest, an Erickson Senior Living community in Parkville, Md., joining the Priority List is a risk-free way to explore your options.

Priority List members enjoy a wide range of benefits, including invitations to exclusive social and informational events, first choice of desired floor plans, and access to planning and moving experts so you can plan with confidence.

"My wife Marlene and I attended all of the Priority List member events," says Robert Lieb, who joined the Oak Crest Priority List in 2022. "There were great workshops and we took advantage of all of them. We got to know Oak Crest before we moved because we visited the campus regularly."

Spending time wisely
Oak Crest Priority List members receive invitations to luncheons and events, such as financial roundtable discussions and health and fitness events.

They also get special access to connections with real estate professionals, relocation experts, and moving companies, all of whom have experience working with Oak Crest residents.

Priority List members have the right of first selection to choose the residence they want to call home.

"Whether you see yourself moving to Oak Crest in several months or several years, joining the Priority List is the best way to guarantee you'll have a home once you're ready," says Sales Director Dan Plakatoris.  

While on the Priority List, members are also encouraged to take advantage of a "Live the Life" stay, providing the opportunity to live on campus for one or two nights while enjoying access to the same amenities and services as current Oak Crest residents. During their stay, guests can enjoy dining in any of the community's on-site restaurants and sample activities and amenities like the swimming pool and fitness center.  

Expert advice
Another significant benefit of the Priority List is access to Erickson Realty and Moving Services for help making a seamless move to Oak Crest. This complimentary program offers Priority List members support every step of the way, from downsizing to move-in day. Also provided are abundant professional resources including preferred real estate agents and moving companies, designed to ensure a smooth transition.

"We know one of the biggest challenges to moving to a community like Oak Crest is downsizing," says Plakatoris. "Our planning and moving consultant, Ashley Ruth, will come to your house and show you how doable it really is. We have a proven system that makes the process smooth and easy."

When it came time to sell their three-bedroom home in Abingdon, Md., Robert and Marlene took full advantage of these resources.

"Ashley showed us how our furniture would best fit in our new home," says Marlene. "We liked the fact that we were never pressured. Throughout the process, I felt very comfortable just picking up the phone to ask a question."

A smooth move
The Liebs even received a $2,000 rebate for using an Oak Crest preferred real estate agent.

"The rebate we received paid for the recommended movers. They did a wonderful job. They packed up everything in our house and set up everything the next day. The move itself was much easier than we anticipated," says Marlene.

Thanks to all the careful preparation, the Liebs enjoyed a stress-free move, and less than a year since arriving at Oak Crest, are fully immersed into life at the community.

"I love it here! We are literally steps from Town Center," says Marlene. "We have a patio that looks out at a courtyard. We sit out there and have lunch, and we meet a lot of people who walk their dogs. We have already made good friends and even reconnected with a couple we knew years ago."
