This place rocks for senior resident living. They have independent and assisted living available. And all of the services are excellent. The entire team is very helpful, incredibly full of care, kindness, and empathy. It's a wonderful facility, like a well-run, enjoyable cruise ship, but on land. Food is great! Entertainment and activities are engaging! Also, the courtyard and gardens are quiet and beautiful…an open peaceful meeting place to get and know the other residents. For each resident has a heart-felt life story to be told. Stories we can learn from. Mangement, sales and activity directors, reception desk greeters, caregivers, transportation drivers, nurses, med-techs, the chef and food prep team, food attendants, and maintenance staff are stellar, always looking out for the betterment of the residents. It's a great day at Byron Park - every day! Personal attention to every need, going the extra mile to solve problems and striving to build lasting relationships are key ingredients for the high on-going success at Byron Park. Each employee I have engaged with, takes a personal interest in what is going on; as it seems to be like an inspired vocational passion, with compassion, rather than just an ordinary daily job. This organization knows how to hire right! Five star rating. Mom is very very happy!

Byron Park is such a wonderful place! My mother used to come visit her friend here regularly and knew that this is where she wanted to move to if she needed assisted living. I have spent a great deal of time at Byron Park visiting and I love it. Everyone is so kind, friendly and helpful. My mother is so happy here with new friends and her longtime friends also enjoy coming for visits. Our very first contact at BP was Maria Petrescu when we were looking for an apartment and she really helped with the not-so-easy stuff involved in this process. Maria made Mum feel at home and helped my sister and me navigating all the things we had to juggle. She was fabulous! Lots of emotions and sensitive situations in this transition and everyone at Byron Park has been so wonderful and welcoming!

A SWEET PLACE TO BE!! I am Julie and have known this place for a while now. Now I know few people at Byron Park and the Kensington senior living. Athena, Maria, Cheryl are amazing to reach out to and get the real and truthful answers to your questions. My experience of interaction from the front desk to med tech and so many more have been absolutely amazing. I would recommend this place highly to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, well taken care and trust worthy staffs to make this life little more enjoyable. This would be the place for myself, my family member and my friends to call it HOME when the moments come! Julie S.

The team at Byron Park has been absolutely exceptional as my brother and I collaborate with my mother and her financial advisors to make the best decision about the next step in her life as she departs her home of nearly 60 years! Special shoutout to Maria P who has become her confidant and our friend through the process!

Byron Park is a wonderful facility. It hosts events for residents and that are made available to the public. The events are well organized by their leadership and they have an excellent and engaging staff who make an event fun and memorable. On top of all that the chef is excellent and creative. Byron Park is worth a visit.

The staff at BYRON PARK are incredibly efficient, caring, and patient. There is never a problem that is too big or too small for them to take care of. I have full confidence in the care they are taking of my mother . it is a relaxing and beautiful environment.

The facility and staff are very nice. My mother has lived in Bryon for over 6 years. The only bad thing is that management has to get a handle on expenses. Mom's Rent and care has increased over 8.3% in the last year and a half. They just pass along increases without consideration for people on fixed incomes. Its getting too expensive.

We had a wonderful tour with Maria P. today. she answered all our questions as we walked around the beautiful premises. We were extremely impressed with the facilities, activities, friendliness of the staff. Maria was most helpful and knowledgeable. When the time comes, there is no question as to where we will go. Byron Park is the place for us! Thank you again, Maria

Wow! This place is great. I am looking for a place for my father. Now that he is in his 90's he needs more care than my sister and I can give him at home. We went and met with Maria, their Sales Director. She patiently explained everything and showed us around. Large renovated apartments, a pool and a very nice dinning room. The menu looks great and on top of that they have a lot of fun activities that my father can participate in. I am looking forward for him to make new friends as he has been a little secluded at home. The most attractive trait that this place has is the people that work there. We immediately felt at home because everyone was very friendly and the residents seemed happy. Maria actually took time to get to know my father which pretty much convinced us that this is the place for us.

We needed to get my 93year old father into an assisted living facility after a bad fall . I had checked out Byron Park 4 years earlier due, to another hospitalization, and was very pleased. He was able to stay home then but now needed further assistance with care. I met with Maria, Aida, Gia and Danika who were very caring, empathetic and understanding . They worked with both of us trying to decide the best living situation for him. We placed him in assisted living. Everyone is very friendly and personable. They offer many exercise classes, social activities, and special events . I feel so much better knowing someone is watching over him and available when ever needed.

I moved in about month ago and this was one of the easiest decision I have ever made. The apartments are beautiful, the residents could not be more friendly and kind. The employees are kind, thoughtful and generous with their time. The food is amazing. I could never prepare this kind of variety for myself! There are more activities to try than I ever thought of doing. If you are looking for that next step in your life Byron Park should be your choice!

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!

I have been here over 2 years. I came from Florida, and my sons researched many communities and suggested this one. I'm very very happy I came here. I participate in many activities including live music, exercise classes, and programs that stimulate thinking . I have made many many friends in this community. The food is excellent, the staff is here to help you with any of your needs.

Maria Petrescu was a fabulous introduction to the Byron Park community, touring our family through the facility and amenities, providing helpful and specific information about the community, financial arrangements and continuum of care. She was knowledgeable and answered questions thoroughly. She was particularly nice to my granddaughter and encouraged her questions. The interaction with her makes me consider Byron Park favorably as I look for the best new home for me.

Byron place is such an amazing place. The place is clean, staffs and management are all wonderful. You can truly feel that they love and care for everyone. Especially Aida who is such an Angel, greeting everyone with a big smile and a warmest hug. Bill who manage the dining room also do an excellent job making sure that he fulfills what the residents wants and needs. We love this community.

I took my mom on a tour of this facility. I can't say enough positive words about our experience. The facility is by far the nicest of the four different senior facilities we toured. The staff was professional, friendly and fun. Maria, the Sales Director, gave us a wonderful and informative tour. The facility is well maintained, the rooms beautifully updated and the activities are varied and interesting. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch in the dining room. One highlight that stuck out to me, that we did not find in other facilities, is that they offer transportation with 3 or 4 vans running seven days a week, with a 24 hour notice. Most facilities have set times and days they go to doctor appointment and other locations, so you must schedule your appointments to their schedule, not necessarily yours. Byron Park goes above and beyond to meet the needs of their clients in a beautiful way.

I'm recently widowed and needed a place to live that provided peace, but not quiet or loneliness. After looking at many communities, I'm so glad I found Byron Park and love the fun activities and programs, festive mood and everyone's great attitudes. I have a beautiful and quiet apartment and enjoy watching the deer and wildlife outside my window. I feel very safe and supported and love everyone here. We just had a wonderful belly dancer performance and I'm heading off to happy hour now. I couldn't be happier to call Byron Park home.

So I don't usually leave reviews however, I came to visit with a friend who brought her aunt in. We went into the dinning room area and it was 1. so clean, 2. such a beautiful experience everyone was so full of smiles and just so warm I always worry what would I do when I'm older and I can definitely see myself coming here. From residents in the wheelchairs to my friend aunt everyone was treated so nice and welcomed here I love when I feel at home at a place and have that type of personal experience, phenomenal place and Great job to the staff.

Byron Park is a most delightful place to live. I was a resident for six full years. When I went there I was just recuperating from three spinal surgeries and not sure how much longer I would be alive. But the care and affection both from the Staff and other residents, the lovely gardens, the fun music and Friday Happy Hours brought me slowly back to life. I now live elsewhere because they nursed me back to my old self, and came back to an Independent life situation, but I cannot think of a better place to go when the time comes again to be pampered and leave all my daily living worries behind. I am glad to leave this testimonial because I want to make sure you know about this wonderful place in Walnut Creek, less than one hour away from beautiful San Francisco.

My grandma has lived at Byron Park for three years and she loves it! After my grandpa passed away, she was isolated and lonely at home. At first she was reluctant to move, but she settled right in. She's made several dear friends and enjoys the live music, art classes, happy hours in the garden and restaurant outings. Meals are always a highlight as she enjoys the food and company. As visitors, we always feel welcome and can see how much the staff loves her.

We contacted Edrienne Baebler at Byron Park over a year ago to arrange a tour with our father and his girlfriend. Our visit there was pre-pandemic, so my very much-belated review of this spectacular facility will be reflective of that. While deciding on a time to visit, Edrienne remembered from our initial phone conversation that both my father - as well as his girlfriend - are musicians...so she suggested coming to tour on a Friday afternoon, as Byron Park features a Happy Hour, along with live music on Fridays. Upon arrival, Edrienne took us to a private area where we could talk...we discussed what my fathers current situation was, what he liked and did not like about it, and what would be important to him in planning a move from the home that he built, and has lived in, for the past 60 years. (My mother suddenly passed six years ago, so he has been living alone since.) His girlfriends daughter was also in attendance, and we then talked about what she would be looking for. As we meandered down the hallways, on our way to look at one of the 2- bedroom units, we were greeted by not one, but EVERY SINGLE RESIDENT that we passed. The amazing and positive energy throughout the facility was undeniable. By the time we passed and were greeted by the fifth resident, I jokingly asked her (the resident) if Edrienne had slipped her $20 to be so happy and friendly...it was truly unbelievable how everyone - both staff and residents alike - made you immediately feel at home. And that was the feeling we all shared, from the moment that we walked through the front door. Edriennes attention to detail and listening skills are second to none...she remembered things from both our first and second phone conversations that I had already forgotten. After we had finished looking at the unit, we then headed downstairs for their Friday Happy Hour. Again, many more Hellos and waves along the way. The staff at Byron Park was professional, yet also both very warm and friendly...it was obvious that they all took great pride in their work. Sitting on the patio outside, we were all admiring the beautiful flowers, landscaping, and impeccably maintained grounds. The live music that evening happened to be piano, which my fathers girlfriend particularly enjoyed, having been a concert pianist - as well as a piano teacher - for over 50 years. Looking around the room, we saw everything from a subtle toe tap, to others practically dancing in their chairs...again, the amount of positive and upbeat energy in the room was overflowing. Having enjoyed Happy Hour, we then headed to the dining room for dinner. That was the biggest, and the most unexpected surprise...it felt more like a restaurant - with servers, and even MENUS - my father looked over and again said, Wow, I really do feel like Im on a cruise ship! We each ordered something different (so as to try as many things as possible), and all agreed that the food was phenomenal. After dinner, Edrienne rejoined us and we went back to the private area to talk about our experience. She asked us several open-ended questions - what we liked, what we were impressed by, what our general feeling was - to which we shared the aforementioned. It was refreshing that there was nothing salesy about any part of our interaction, no pressure to make an instant decision...just more caring and thoughtful discussion about what they were looking for in consideration of their move. Edrienne then explained that this was going to be a process, and boy, was she right! My father? Still in the same house, and has yet to make a move...yet, on more than several occasions, he fondly recalls our incredible experience at Byron Park. We can now only hope that when it is his decision to finally make the move, that he, too, will choose Byron Park. Thank you, Edrienne, for creating a wonderful experience for our families...no wonder you are so highly regarded in your profession - you are truly a gift!

Byron Park is such a wonderful senior community! I have been to this facility as a visitor and as a health care worker. My grandmother lived in Byron Park and we so enjoyed visiting her here. Her apartment was so nice with a small kitchen, living room and bedroom that made it so inviting for us to visit. We loved to visit on Sundays so we could enjoy the delicious brunches. The staff is so friendly and all of the residents seem to really enjoy each other. As a healthcare worker, I have also been able to see the workings of Byron Park and the staff. They are all so professional and you can tell they really care about the residents. I highly recommend Byron Park if you are looking for senior living for your loved one!

We visited Byron Park to bring my parents out from the east coast. It is a very nice facility with lovely grounds and a wonderful staff. Sales director Edrienne Baebler showed us around on 2 occasions. The apartments are spacious and nicely appointed. We really liked that there was a mixture of independent and assisted living units. It is a very warm and friendly community. My favorite place that we visited! Thank you, Edrienne!

My mother has been living at Byron Park for 5 years and her overall experience there has been wonderful-- particularly during the Covid-19 crisis, when the management at BP has totally stepped up to make the experience SAFE, and as easy and positive as possible for the residents. A recent highlight has been their setting up opportunities for families to visit their loved ones-- from an appropriate distance, having creating the Romeo and Juliet apartment. Great for Mothers Day, for birthdays or simply to drop by and say hi-- we love you!

I moved in after choosing a bright, clean apartment as I was so lonesome even with the kindly 45 year neighbors we had. No one in a 2 story house but me, myself and the silence. Whats that song, The sound of silence Whats interesting to me is that there are so many employees and as I see them helping, I notice they seem to all have an innate qualification which is the desire to comfort and care for people. First night at Byron Park I slept all night through! Byron Park works for me in so many ways. Check them out!

Ive been here for a year and a half and Im really happy with my decision to move here. This place has everything, and all in a relatively compact space so that its easy to get to the exercise classes, the pool, the dining room and the library with just a few steps. The list of activities is outstanding and there is something for everybody. I looked at a wide range of senior housing alternatives before I chose Byron Park; I believe this is the absolute best choice among them.

My wife and I moved from the East Coast about 16 years ago to be closer to our children and grandchildren. We settled in Rossmoor near Byron Park, and lived there for 11 years until the every day drudgery got too much for us. We had passed by Byron Park practically daily and when the time came we realized that that would be an ideal place to move to. We have been here just five years and find that it has exceeded all of our needs. There are numerous opportunities such as ceramics and art and much music to make and to listen to. The food is great prepared by a wonderful chef, and the personal services are of the highest quality. We wholeheartedly recommend Byron Park to any one considering moving to a senior residence.
