My grandfather has moved into Buckner Villas. We chose it because he had some friends that were already there. It's been a very positive experience. I like that they encourage social interactions. They have an activity calendar that has something every morning, and then there's a separate activity at 2:00 every day. There's a chapel once a week. They help provide transportation to and from appointments within a certain radius, so that helps with doctors and all of that. They have the option to eat in the dining room or to eat in their room, but I like that they still encourage them to be social to come to community events. I think that's a big one just because he was struggling with some depression with being by himself for so long. He has access to outdoor areas. There's a courtyard where he can walk around. There are some vegetables and things that they have planted in the back, but then he can also go out the front and there's kind of a roundabout that he can walk if he wants to take his walker out there. There's an activity area. They have exercise, dominos, weekly trips to H-E-B, bimonthly trips to Wal-Mart, ice cream socials on Wednesdays, and happy hour on Fridays. They have a beautician who comes in and for a nominal fee, she'll provide shampoos, washes, and haircuts for men and women. On Tuesdays, there's somebody who comes in and leads an activity at 2:00. There's also a bible study on Wednesday mornings. One of his favorite parts is the food. They've got a nice snack menu. On Tuesdays, if you give a two-hour notice, you can have hamburgers, sandwiches, and pizza delivered to your room. He can have anything on the menu and then he can also order breakfast, lunch, and dinner and have that delivered to his room or he can eat that in the dining room. He's mentioned having fish. I think they did barbecue one time. There are pies and they've got a big selection of desserts that he can have at lunch or dinner. Everybody smiles. They're pleasant. They seem to be very understanding of the age group and some of the difficulties. My grandpa had just gotten his hearing aids fixed and they were going to assist him with some bathroom needs and he said, "I just took my hearing aids out." The staff member just leaned in very close and she said, "OK." She was trying to make sure that he was heard and understood, even though he didn't have his hearing aids in. Everything was clean. It looks like a brand new carpet. They clean it every day. I went over there one day and then I went three days later and both times it looked like the carpet had just been vacuumed.

I will be moving into Buckner Villas. It had an apartment available at the time we were looking, whereas all the other places had a long wait. This place has a washer and dryer in the apartment rather than a communal one down the hallway that you share with other residents. They also have a parking garage, rather than parking your car outside or in a carport. The staff was very good and accommodating. The apartment is about 1,200 square feet. It has a large kitchen, two bedrooms, two baths, and a lot of storage space. It's light and airy, with a lot of windows and tall ceilings. I got a completely furnished kitchen with a large side-by-side refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and all the appliances that you need. They have one-bedroom apartments and cottages outside of the main building. They have movies to offer, all kinds of classes, a swimming pool, and a jacuzzi. They have a lot of water aerobics and water classes. They have a good-sized athletic area with new machines. They have transportation off campus. They provide meals. We got a complimentary meal during the tour, and it was excellent.

My mother is in Buckner Villas. She lived there in independent living and now she's going to go over to assisted living. She's been in the skilled nursing part of it for about a month. The staff members are very helpful and a large number of them have been there for many years. They've got longevity there. They've got more floorplans than I've ever seen before. They have one-bedroom and two-bedroom, but they have different layouts. She has a view from where she is. She was in a one-bedroom, but it seemed very spacious. It had a full kitchen, one bedroom, one bath, a walk-in closet, and tons of storage space. I've had a meal there and the food is good. They bring the food to your table. You don't have to go through a cafeteria line. They have a lot of in-house activities. They have an inside swimming pool, Taichi, yoga, and a lot of other things. They also have activities outside or people will come in. The grounds are very pretty.

My wife and I stayed in the independent living at Buckner Villas. I thought it was well managed and it was easy to find out information. Everyone was quite friendly. I liked the fact that they had a dedicated exercise person there in their gym, so you could always go to the gym and find somebody there that would help you, either with the machines or the pool or other sorts of things. Overall, the food was somewhat better than what my wife is getting at the other place. It's not exactly gourmet, but I consider it a step up from the other place. The building was older. The carpets looked a bit tired, but it was pretty easy to get around there. It also has a memory care unit, but it seemed a lot more depressing inside and things were older and darker. They tried hard when it comes to their activities.

Buckner Villas was newly renovated. It was very, very nice. The people were also very nice. The location just didn't work for me, but if people live out in that area, it's a great place.

Buckner Villas was impressive. It's clean, people seemed to be engaged, the staff was friendly, and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was a very positive tour experience. The rooms were very, very nice and adequate, and the person who toured us was very helpful, open, and seemed very knowledgeable. Everybody that they encountered knew their names. It was just an impressive visit. The dining area also looked good and they had a full array of things. They had a swimming pool, fitness equipment, a chapel, board games, and just about anything anybody could want.
