When you’re ready to discuss senior living care options, call Buckner Retirement Services at 214.227.7182. We’ve been providing dignified care to seniors in Texas since 1954.
Understanding Your Options
Your first step in navigating senior living is understanding your options.
Independent Living for Seniors
Independent living is an excellent choice for seniors who wish to maintain a sense of autonomy while enjoying the benefits of a vibrant community. It’s perfect for those who enjoy an active lifestyle but prefer to be free from home maintenance and other chores.
At Buckner Retirement Services, our independent living communities offer a wealth of amenities and services. From recreational programs that promote social engagement and activity to educational programs that stimulate the mind, there’s something for everyone. Plus, our pet-friendly environment means furry friends are welcome.
Assisted Living Services
Assisted living is designed for seniors who require a bit more help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or medication management. Here, you’ll receive the assistance you need while still maintaining your independence and enjoying a rich community life.
Buckner Retirement Services provides top-notch assisted living services. Our dedicated team of licensed nurse clinicians ensures your health needs are met while amenities like dining services, housekeeping, and transportation make day-to-day living comfortable and convenient.
Memory Care Services
Memory care provides specialized care for seniors dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive issues. This service includes around-the-clock care in a safe and secure environment, designed to enhance quality of life and slow cognitive decline.
Our memory care services at Buckner Retirement Services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each resident. We provide personalized care plans, engaging activities that stimulate the mind, and a compassionate team that understands the intricacies of cognitive health in seniors.
How to Choose the Right Option for You or Your Loved Ones
Exploring senior living options involves assessing the individual’s level of independence, health conditions, and lifestyle preferences. It’s crucial to tour potential communities, ask questions, and observe the atmosphere and interactions between staff and residents.
You’ll also want to have a discussion with your parents about topics like:
- Their current and future health needs
- What type of community amenities and services are important to them
- Their budget and how much they can afford for senior living care
- Where do they want to live geographically
- How involved they’d like you or other family members to be in their care
- Any cultural, religious, or dietary needs that should be considered
You should also consider the continuum of care available in the communities in your search. Buckner communities are life care communities. Your parents will be able to gradually transition to higher levels of care as they need without having to uproot.
