Crest

Life is more than living in the walls of your home. It is doing those things that bring enjoyment, add zest to your day and interactions with family, friends and community. Need support as you navigate this unknown path? Providing the tools to maintain your independence. Want to make a difference in the lives of others? Looking for information and... a chance to meet other people? Volunteers Helping Neighbors In Need provided the foundation for CREST to be born in 1997. Focused on the needs of caregivers and receivers, the faith based founders envisioned Care Teams of Volunteers to provide needed serviceshence the official name Caregiver Response Effort & Service Team which was soon shortened to CREST. Enhancing the quality of life for those we serve. When we were young we dreamed of leaving home. When we grow older we dream of staying in our home. Living lives to the fullest, being as active as possible, enjoying family and friends, engaging in favorite activities and even exploring new interests, most of all being independent are dreams shared by most Senior Citizens and Caregivers. Thats where CREST comes inTo Keep Dreams Alive! Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, over 200 persons are served annually. We have a growing number of people who want to live in their homes, but finding they can no longer do some things such as vacuuming or driving. We have a growing number of caregivers taking care of loved ones or others 24/7 and feeling overwhelmed. We have a growing number of people retiring from their career jobs looking for something meaningful to do with their time. And we have an increasing number of people looking for information related to diseases or just tips for growing older. These are all peoples for whom CREST provides services in Martin County.Read More
