Frequently Asked Questions

When is an assisted living residence the right choice?

Our Houston assisted living options are ideal for people who are eager to continue living independently but need extra assistance with daily tasks. Every detail is designed to provide an individualized level of support in the comfort and privacy of the resident’s apartment while offering abundant opportunities to maintain an active lifestyle filled with friends, neighbors, and family.

How does assisted living at The Buckingham differ from a nursing home?

Traditional nursing homes are equipped to care for older adults who have extensive health care requirements. Assisted living at The Buckingham is intended for independent-minded people who want the comfort and security of knowing extra help is there when they need it. Every assisted living resident is supported by an around the clock, highly trained team of professionals. And with many amenities available at our community, as well as skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, we help residents easily enjoy what matters most to them.

Does insurance cover or pay for assisted living?

While policies vary, an individual’s health insurance program or long-term care insurance policy may reimburse some costs. Life insurance conversion benefits and veterans benefits are also good options for those who qualify.

Is it easy to get out and about?

Yes. Assisted living residents are greeted each day with opportunities to stay engaged, entertained, and enlightened, as well as access to life-enriching services and amenities. In addition to private transportation services for physician visits and other needs, The Buckingham offers frequent group shopping, dining, and entertainment excursions at popular Houston venues.

Are the apartment homes furnished?

No. You have the freedom to bring your favorite furniture and treasured belongings or start fresh with new furnishings that make everyday living even more comfortable.

Community testimonials

"The care and support I received at The Buckingham were exceptional. Thanks to the skilled nursing team and my commitment to staying active, I’m now walking independently again and couldn’t be more grateful for my recovery."

“The team is taking wonderful care of all of us! Good food, cheerful workers, many of whom stay on the premises 24 hours a day, impromptu fun activities and residents who help each other at every opportunity. I have lived here 12 years and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

“The team in the memory care community truly care and do their best for the residents. The memory support residents are always out of their rooms during the day, there's lots of activities and the outdoor area is safe and beautiful (and huge!) and available to the residents at their desire. I would recommend to anyone looking for a safe and pleasant memory care experience.”

“I highly recommend The Buckingham. One of my parents had the misfortune to be in several disappointing skilled nursing facilities over the last year. Once we came to The Buckingham, it was such a relief. They provided exceptional care, especially their PT services. The food was wonderful, too. If we ever need skilled nursing again, there is no question that we would return to The Buckingham.”

“Everyone, both the team and residents, are friendly and make life at The Buckingham a great place to live. Lots of activities for every level of interest and abilities. Friends for dinner every night. Assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing are just down the hallway — no need to travel to another building. Best decision we could have ever made.”
