The Buckingham

The Buckingham is a large senior living community in Houston, Texas, offering a wide range of living options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation all on one gated campus with 24-hour security which helps everyone feel safe and at ease, and while the property sits near outdoor spaces with views of the forest, residents get private apartments or rooms, and there's both indoor and outdoor areas, including a heated pool, putting green, and a creative arts studio, making it easy to enjoy time outside or take part in things inside. Men and women seniors live here, and thanks to wheelchair accessible facilities and showers, it's easy to get around, while pets are welcome too and that means animal lovers can keep their companions by their side. The staff here includes nurses on site and both doctors and nurses on call day and night, alongside dentist and podiatrist services, and since homecare, hospice, and respite care are available, residents don't have to leave if they need more help, and there's support for those living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, where thoughtful programming in memory care helps with daily routines and quality of life. The Buckingham provides physical, occupational, and speech therapies, plus rehabilitation with personalized therapy and care plans in skilled nursing for anyone who needs a higher level of support than assisted living provides, and with aging in place services, the move among the different levels of care happens smoothly as needs change. Residents get nutritious meals every day, prepared with quality ingredients, with dining menus that offer many choices for different tastes, and there's even beauty and barber services on site, which means folks can keep up with personal care without going out. Complimentary transportation and parking make it simple for residents or visitors to come and go, while air conditioning keeps apartments and common spaces comfortable inside no matter the weather. Social life here stays active, with onsite and offsite activities planned throughout the week, and a wellness program with physical fitness groups, the Aspyre Program, and devotional services for spiritual needs, so there's always something to get involved in, and people rate the activities highly. The Buckingham offers both private tours and Facebook login for interested families who want to look closer at daily life and details, and everything, from independent living to the most advanced skilled nursing, happens in the same community, so residents get to keep friends, routines, and favorite spaces as they age. Staff members here take time to be friendly, helpful, and kind, and because of this, the community has a warm feel without being too formal or fancy.
