If you go there, do not eat the food. It is very unsanitary in the kitchen. No gloves are ever worn when serving the residents. Kitchen staff yell at the residents. Kitchen staff are very stingy with food, portions are tiny and the quality is horrid. They rarely allow second servings and store leftovers to be used for puree meals. Sometimes, the food is not labeled and is outdated. I made it 2 months in the kitchen. Everyday I spent rigorously cleaning. After several times of reporting unsanitary and unsafe food practices to the CEO's managers, and everyone I could let know, they fired me. Those residents deserve far better than the get there. I wouldn't recommend letting my dog eat anything out of there. Even though they allow dogs free roam of the facility, even into the kitchen. I'm certain at one time one of the dogs defecated in the dry storage area. I smelled it for a couple of days. See the videos I've attached and the pictures. DONT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONES THERE!!

This is the worst facility around. Management sits in their office. They do not respond to family concerns. The staff should be ashamed of themselves. Patients arent showered routinely food is inedible No snacks or water is ever available Call lights are left on for a long time My family is always in a dirty diaper and clothes. Hair is oily and not combed. Only way to get a response is to threaten to call State. The aids and nurses spend more time talking to each other than taking care of patients. RUN far away from here

Byron is a place that all are taken care of like family. We love and struggle just like any family. We work through issues together and we have so much fun. I love going here and my two young girls love to visit all the residents. They all have huge smiles and are ready to give anybody a hug.

My husband was treated awfully here. Time and time again the staff were unprofessional, becoming angry and impatient with him. The only light there is the head nurse Tina. We transferred him to Life Care Center of Ft.Wayne and the difference was astonishing. They showed him kindness and respect on every level.
