Elizabeth Byrd

Vice President for Health Services/Chief Health & Wellness Officer, since 2024

My professional journey in senior living has been filled with meaningful connections, personal growth opportunities, and a deep commitment to the well-being and fulfillment of those I serve. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege to lead with a focus on innovation and collaboration. Key milestones, like earning my Nursing Home Administrator License, have also shaped my journey.

This path has led me to Arbor Acres, where I’m excited to continue this work in a place that already feels like home, and where the values of compassion, care, and connection are at the heart of everything we do.

What drew me to Arbor Acres is its unwavering commitment not just to care for residents, but to enrich their spirit and overall well-being through genuine engagement, a mission that resonates deeply with me and aligns perfectly with my leadership values. I’m excited to bring my experience in building collaborative teams and nurturing a positive work environment, while also learning from the talented people here.

My goal is to continue fostering positive outcomes for residents, staff, and the community, ensuring Arbor Acres remains a place of exceptional care and connection for years to come.
