our mission.
We honor and serve older adults as an expression of Christ’s love.
OUR HISTORY.
Crestview first made an appearance in 1964 later joining MRC (Methodist Retirement Communities), a system of not-for-profit corporations headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas in 1970. MRC continues to own and operate Arbor Oaks and Crestview, together with the 3 other properties in Bryan for limited income seniors. Crestview Terrace, Crestview Place and Crestview Unity. The MRC family grew again when it added The Langford in College Station. With deep roots, abiding faith and a legacy for excellence, the Crestview name means something much deeper to those touched by the community, they call it home.
ALL ARE WELCOME.
MRC serves about 2,500 residents each year in 13 senior living communities, including Bryan, College Station, Huntsville, La Porte, League City, Lufkin, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, and Texarkana. While MRC still maintains a valuable covenant affiliation with the Texas Annual Conference of United Methodists, the Conference has no legal or financial responsibility for MRC. We serve seniors regardless of nationality, race, gender, disability or religion. And while we’re proud of our Methodist heritage, you don’t need to be United Methodist or Christian or religious in any way to be warmly welcomed.
ROOTED IN FAITH, DRIVEN BY MISSION.
Around here we are motivated to show Christ’s love in all that we do. We are reminded of scripture’s Matthew 7:12 where we are encouraged to treat others as you wish to be treated. It is from these biblical principles that we set our core values, we call them ICARE values. ICARE stands for I-Integrity, C- Compassion, A- Accountability, R-Respect, and E-Excellence. It is from this baseline that we hire passionate, engaged team members. The best part is, their passion and dedication creates a standard of excellence that our residents have come to expect. An expectation we are fully committed to fulfilling, each day, in every way.
THE NON-PROFIT DIFFERENCE
Crestview is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so all leftover margin can be reinvested in improvements and rate increases kept to a minimum. Non-profit status requires a high level of accountability, which means higher standards for activities, care, housing, programming and services. In short, as a staff, we’re committed to maintaining Crestview as the best senior living community in the Bryan-College Station area.
The Eden Alternative®
The Eden Alternative® is an international, non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to creating quality of life for Elders and their care partners, wherever they may live.
Crestview is proud to have officially been certified in the Eden Alternative Registry, which honors those organizations deeply committed to transforming traditional models of care into person-directed approaches that put the individual first.
