Greetings and Happy 2019! With a new year, we have decided to kick off our Byron Blog. If you know a lot about Byron and our history, then you know how much fun we have and how much we love our residents. If you don’t know a lot about Byron, you should know that we love to have fun and we love our residents! But either way, we are starting this blog to share more about what we do, who we are as an organization and some education about the long-term-care industry and the different government regulations that we work within.

Ultimately, our aim is for the general public to learn more about why we do what we do, which is to provide an inclusive multi-generational community fostering purpose-filled lives by focusing on the individualized strengths of our family members. We have younger residents but we also have older residents. We have residents that have lived with us for almost 40 years and residents that moved in a month ago. We have residents that love to go out to the community each day and we have residents that like to stay in their room, enjoying watching TV. We want them to feel comfortable doing what it is that makes them happy and gives them purpose.

And throughout our blog posts you’ll also learn about our staff. We have the best staff, truly! Some team members have worked here for over 40 years and we even have a 20 Year Club because so many staff members work here for decades. We will highlight some different staff members and the work they do on a daily basis as well as what our residents mean to them.

We hope you’ll keep up with us and if you are ever in the neighborhood, stop by and say “Hi!”
