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 father moved to Byron park after some health issues and a disappointing short term stay at another assisted living facility. From his first day at Byron Park he has been very positive about the staff, the residents, the facilities, the activities, and the meals. He has truly found a home where he can enjoy life.

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.

I love living at Byron Park.  I have been here for a year and a half. I lived in Rossmoor for 18 years.  My health was declining and I realized I needed more help and support.  I looked at several senior living communities in the Bay Area and the minute I saw Byron Park I knew it was where I wanted to live. My life is so much easier since I’ve moved to Byron Park because I have weekly housekeeping, two meals a day, many activities each day to choose from, and always somebody to talk to.  I rarely feel lonely. If I do, I sit outside in the back courtyard on very comfortable chairs or in the living room where there is always someone to talk to and learn about their lives. After driving by for years, I was so surprised to see the large, beautiful and quiet courtyard and gardens. There are so many serene places to enjoy being outdoors. While I don’t swim, there’s a brand new pool and hot tub and many residents enjoy swimming laps and water aerobics. When I first moved in, I felt like I was living on a cruise ship. I would see people at meals and we would talk about what we had done that day.  I was surprised how easy it was to make friends. I’ve met people who have had the most interesting careers and personal lives. I’ve actually made quite a few very close friends while living here. All the staff are very helpful and available always. There are so many activities to do here. I especially like the exercise classes, the wonderful and varied live music programs, many of the life enrichment classes, programs and very fun & interesting outings; such as; the De Young, MOMA and the Legion of Honor, the Rosie the Riveter Museum, Filoli Gardens, a tour of the KQED station and many delicious restaurants.  Recently, I went to the Chabot Space and Science center in Oakland and to SF for dim sum. Byron Park offers transportation seven days a week to wherever I need to go.  This has been invaluable to me because I no longer drive. On the weekends, they offer a scenic drive each day where we go to interesting areas around the Bay Area. I’m able to have my dog live with me here in Byron Park which is very important to me.  All of the staff knew my and my dog’s name almost immediately.  I feel safe and well taken care of here. I couldn’t imagine not living here.  It’s the best.

I visit my friend Carol at Byron Park pretty regularly, and  I’ve eaten at their dining room about five times now and the food is really good. The staff is very friendly and it just feels comfortable there. It’s a bit high end compared to other places I’ve visited. Carol seems happy and always has something going on with their activities. After seeing how settled she is and not having to deal with all the usual household stuff, I’m actually starting to think it might be a good option for me down the road.

I feel compelled to share my experience with Maria at Byron Park. I first visited on my own to investigate potential assisted/ independent living places for my mom and her partner. Maria was not only warm and welcoming but very knowledgeable and low pressure understanding the magnitude of this decision. I just recently revisited with my mom so my mom could get the vibe of the place and see how it feels for her. I love that Maria met her exactly where she is and was able to communicate effectively in such a positive way.   Her sensitivity and insight as if she knew my mom was extraordinary. She shared that this is not a “facility” ( my mom’s word) but a boutique hotel where my mom can reclaim her independence. She shifted the way we think about senior care to allowing for the possibility of less stress for my mom. It was clear throughout our tour and interactions with residents who all engaged with us that this is a really special place. I was truly impressed with Byron Park but really appreciate the way Maria connected with my mom. Maria took a stressful challenging moment in our lives and reminded us of the positive possibilities. I’m so grateful 🙏💜

Maria has been an excellent resource in guiding me and my parents through the process of deciding to move to assisted living from their own home. Her energy and positivity is infectious as is her pride in Byron Park. So far the process has been very smooth.

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!

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!

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!

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.
