Benedictine Living Community-Byron is located in the active and progressive city of Byron, MN – just minutes away from downtown Rochester, MN. It’s first of its kind in the city, serving seniors with an option to live independently, yet have access to supportive services onsite if one’s needs change.
We believe everyone should live a full, healthy life in their community. That’s why we offer the opportunity for freedom from home maintenance, the chance to stay engaged with other people, or just knowing health care is available if needed. Whatever independence means to you, we’re here to make sure you achieve it.
A range of services make it possible to live as independently as possible for as long as possible.
- Independent Living – Apartment homes with access to additional care right on campus.
- Assisted Living – Staffed 24 hours to provide assistance for personal care and well being.
- Memory Care – Health care services for individuals with dementia-related diseases.
Imagine enjoying more free time to travel, visit your family and friends, and be a part of that interesting social club. Your independence is important to you and to us. Independent Living can mean freedom from home maintenance, the chance to stay engaged with other people, or just knowing health care is available if needed. No more shoveling, mowing or fixing. With someone else taking care of all the chores, you have plenty of free time to pursue new interests and do the things you love.
Dine with friends and neighbors in the restaurant-style dining room or grab a quick lunch on the way to appointments or outings at the community Bistro. Or cook for yourself – or host a dinner party – and enjoy an evening at home. It’s all up to you to live your way.
