  My mother recently moved to Byron Park from a nearby "55+ community". She could not be happier! Candidly she's more engaged on a daily basis than she has been in recently. Daily exercise classes, wonderful meals and conversations in the dining room, a gorgeous courtyard to enjoy. While she downsized in square footage, her 2-bedroom apartment is perfect for current lifestyle. Weekly linen and clearing service is much appreciated. Most importantly, the Byron Park staff is warm and welcoming in every interaction. We're more than pleased with Byron Park.

  This was A huge decision for our family and my mother. I don’t think we would’ve made the move to Byron Park if it wasn’t for Maria. She was patient and kind and sensitive to our needs and made my mom feel very comfortable with this big move. We are very pleased with our decision. My mom is more active now and happy :0)

  Since the beginning of the year, I have been discussing with my elderly parents, a move from their east coast home to the Bay Area, so they could be closer to family. My goals were to find a senior living community where they would quickly acclimate and hopefully thrive. After visiting 10 communities, I wasn't sure I was going to meet those goals. It wasn't until I visited Byron Park, and talked with Maria, that I knew that this was the right place for my parents. It is a beautiful complex with a caring staff who work together to promote a safe yet vibrant family oriented community. When my parents arrived in June, they were greeted with open arms and were seamlessly integrated into life at Byron Park. Whether it's the accommodations, the activities, the dining experience, or the pleasant- caring staff, I believe Byron Park has been an excellent choice for my parents.

  My Husband and I lived in Sonoma in a home with 4 acres that required a lot of maintenance. We had signed up for a retirement home that was being built In Walnut Creek Four years ago. The date that this would be available keep getting pushed out and when we were told that it would not be available until the end of 2028 We sadly realized that we would have to look elsewhere Our Advisor referred us to Byron Park. We were very apprehensive and worried We will greeted On our initial visit by Maria, the sales director. Maria was incredible. She instantly understood our anxiety and concerns. She listened carefully and was very patient and smart, caring and funny. We trusted her. She spent a considerable amount of time showing us around and explaining all our options. She answered all our questions and responded instantly to our emails. We felt secure and are very grateful to her. Byron Park is wonderful. We have been here for four weeks. And are so happy. The staff is exceptional, and every aspect of life is taken care of. We are never bored, the food is excellent, and all our questions and concerns are addressed instantly. We are very lucky at highly recommend Maria and Byron Park

  Jane and I left our meeting with Maria feeling lighter than when we walked in. We had questions about assisted versus independent living, and she made everything easy to understand. She took the time to talk with us in a way that felt thoughtful and unrushed. What stood out most was her sincerity and warmth —she really wanted us to understand our options and feel comfortable. It was a calm, reassuring introduction to Byron Park, and we’re truly thankful.

  I toured Byron Park recently with my mother, who has been living at Rossmoor for several years but is now looking for additional services. We met with Maria, who spent a lot of time with us and was incredibly helpful in answering our questions. She was kind, patient, and after our meeting my mother and I felt very comfortable about her joining the Byron Park community. The other staff that we met during our tour seemed just as lovely as Maria, so I feel like my mother will be in good hands there. I'm excited for her next chapter, and I feel confident that she'll enjoy her time at Byron Park and be well cared for.

  Maria was absolutely wonderful to work with. My mom and I met with her at Byron Park while looking into assisted living options for my aunt, and she made the whole experience feel comfortable, welcoming, and reassuring. She was kind, funny, professional, and so personable from the moment we met her. Maria spent so much time with us, answered our questions, walked us through everything, and truly went above and beyond. You can tell she genuinely cares about the families she works with, and that made such a difference during what can be an emotional and overwhelming process. My mom liked Maria and Byron Park so much that she even said she would want to live there one day as well. That says a lot. We are so grateful for Maria’s time, warmth, and guidance. She made a lasting impression on both of us.

  My dad moved to Byron Park shortly after my mom passed away -- we were all reeling from loss and grief, and overwhelmed with all of the big and little decisions and transitions, especially for my dad. The staff and community of Byron Park have been a great support to us, and have done so much to make all of us feel welcome, loved, and cared for. The adjustment from independent to assisted living has been relatively easy and seamless and provides peace of mind that my dad has a community of care around him. It does come at a steep cost, which is reflective of the overall senior care market and the you-get-what-you-pay-for reality of dignified and high-quality caregiving options.

  Byron Park was very nice. The rooms were nice. My husband stated that he wanted to get the two rooms rather than just a studio. They had a one-bedroom and then a living room. Otherwise, you get a studio where you just go in and it's just one room and the bed is in there. He preferred a separated bedroom. The layout was OK and it was important to him to be near an elevator. They had elevators. The food was delicious and one thing he likes is salmon and that was available. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. After lunch, we met some people who lived there and were appointed to meet with new possible occupants. They were very nice and very helpful.

  Byron Park was just average. My friend lived there for a couple of months and left because it was awful. The staff was very nice. My friend's room was above average. It was a one-bedroom apartment. She had a balcony. For activities, they had a small pool, and they had happy hour once a week. It was not a good fit, and it was awful for her, so I don't give it a high rating at all. The residents were very unfriendly. I think management could have done something to make it easier for somebody to move in. There was no effort to introduce people to help her get acquainted with people. It was just a very unfriendly place. The place was old, too.

  My aunt moved into Byron Park and is having the best time! Every time we visit she's busy with her new friends, enjoying happy hours, live music and all the fun and interesting programs. She loves sitting in the garden and swimming in the pool. We love joining her for meals and activities and our kids and dog get so much love and attention from the staff. They treat her and our family so well and we always feel welcome when we visit. We can't recommend Byron Park enough!

  a rough ride for new residents

  The facilities and staff are superb. But it is not a happy place to live. The experience of living @ Byron Park did not match the written description or conversations with the sales staff. The activities were pitched at residents with much less energy and ability than my mother. The companionship in the dining room was much more residents from assisted living than independent residents. The more active and independent residents were cliquish and exclusive. Any move is hard, but this one was excruciating. My mother has been miserable every day of her residence there. After a month there she decided to move. Byron Park was simply not tenable for her. I hear from staff that there are lots of residents moving out this month. I don't know what's up among the residents, but there is a mean vibe there. Other residents have complained to me about the snarky comments from others. The staff could do more to introduce the active residents to each other. I got the feeling my mom was on her own to integrate into the community. At sales visits we were told about "ambassadors". New residents paired with someone who share some interests to eat a few meals with and facilitate introductions to other residents. That didn't happen at all.

  I liked Byron Park very much. I did a virtual tour and then we went in person to see them. What I liked, they're on a busy street, they have a large courtyard, and they have lots of activities that are done by the residents, which appealed to me. They have a greenhouse that is run by the residents, and they're very active with that. They're working on creating more space at the facility (they're on a hillside) for more gardening activities by the residents. They have a lovely library that is run by the residents. There seemed to be a lot of input from the residents from what we could see.

  It Has Been a Pretty Good and Smooth Transition

  I'm glad that my loved ones moved in here. My loved ones really like the community. There is a health provider that comes on site and this is a big plus that the doctor can see my loved ones on site in their apartment. There has been quite a bit of staff turnover. My loved ones have loved the food. It seems to be a rotating menu, but a lot of diversity of food, and feel it is the healthiest they have eaten in years. Some of the weekend menu items have included steak, salmon, rack of lamb, and more. The apartment, housekeeping, all the meals, utilities, changing of linens, laundry of linens, and 1 bag each of clothing laundered for each of my loved ones, internet, and phone is included in the monthly fee. The community will also include a land line if your loved ones would like one. My loved ones have enjoyed the sight seeing tour on Sundays the community provides. The community has transportation to take the residents to nearby shopping centers and near a clinic.

  Their Covid checking's is wonderful. One reason I came here. You care but why do accept new residents who are are not vaccinated.? Many activities to do; music brought in relax and listen to but we need more old folk music we listened to 1940's etc. Food can be good, glad they cut down on portions for women. Dining room too noisy. Help in thoughtful and kind. We need more knowledge of rules etc..
