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.
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.

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.

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.

Independent living at The Buckingham focuses on providing residents with a vibrant, maintenance-free lifestyle that emphasizes autonomy and social engagement. Unlike assisted living or nursing homes, independent living does not include daily personal care or medical assistance, making it ideal for seniors who are self-sufficient but wish to enjoy a community environment with peer interaction and access to amenities. Assisted living offers more support for daily activities, while nursing homes provide comprehensive healthcare services for those requiring constant medical supervision.

We offer a variety of spacious apartment options designed to accommodate couples comfortably, allowing them to enjoy their privacy while also being part of the community. Our amenities and services are tailored to enhance the lifestyle of all residents, ensuring couples have everything they need to thrive together.

With rotating specials, themed dining events, Sunday brunches and the flexibility to dine at your leisure, our dining program is designed to enhance both your palate and your social experience.

While independent living focuses on an active lifestyle, The Buckingham provides access to healthcare support through our continuum of care services. Residents have the convenience of on-site healthcare services and wellness programs to maintain their health. Should additional support be needed, you can seamlessly transition to assisted living, memory support or skilled nursing within our community, ensuring continuity and peace of mind.
