Frequently Asked Questions

When is the right time to join an independent living community?

There is no right or wrong time to transition to a Houston independent living community, but there are signs. Are you tired of the stress of homeownership? Do you want easy access to amenities? If your answer is yes, independent living could be the perfect fit. Moving early gives you more time to enjoy the elevated lifestyle you deserve.

What are the requirements to join an independent living community?

Most independent living communities are exclusively for active older adults aged 63 and up. Aside from the age requirement, some independent living communities ask that residents undergo a health assessment to ensure independent living is the right fit, especially for those considering a Life Care plan. Those needing assistance with activities of daily living may find that assisted living is a better fit.

How much does independent living cost?

Every independent living community has its own monthly fee, and numerous factors influence the price. Location and quality of amenities play a role. Other factors, like whether you choose a townhome or apartment, also affect the monthly fee. The monthly fee covers everything — dining, amenities, transportation, programming, fitness classes, and more. For our pricing, visit our pricing page, or contact a Buckingham team member directly.

Will I benefit from living in a houston independent living community?

Numerous studies prove that adults living in retirement communities are happier and healthier than those who live alone. An active independent living community, like The Buckingham, is thoughtfully designed with older adults, their aspirations, and their desires in mind. The maintenance-free lifestyle allows residents to re-discover passions. Amenities, dining, and services create healthier living and personal wellness.
