Buckner Retirement Services

I took a tour of this community with a family member and I was blown away by the amenities The Stayton has to offer. You could not ask for a better location than being in the heart of Downtown. The views are incredible. Everyone on their staff was courteous and attentive and helped us with anything we asked for. The residents were extremely welcoming. I noticed various signs of different activities The Stayton offered so one would not ever be bored while living there. Overall, The Stayton completely surpassed my expectations and I would highly recommend it.

This community is like a cruise ship on land! They have every amenity I could think of. The views, location, and staff are all top notch. Lot's of smiling faces when I took a tour. This place really seems to get what a "community" is all about. I was even able to meet Oliver North and Henry Winkler as part of their Red Carpet Speaker Series. 5 stars all around! Hope to be making a move soon.

After visiting several communities over the last couple of weeks I was beginning to get bored with the pitches and feel they are all the same. What a pleasant surprise to visit The Stayton. From the moment I walked into the lobby, I felt like I just entered a five-star hotel. Every employee greeted us with a genuine and warm smile. Our counselor was punctual, friendly and sincere. I truly felt she had my best interest at heart. The rooms are beautiful. The amenities and activities are all I could hope for. I had an opportunity to meet a couple of the residences during my visit. Their warmth and graciousness made me feel like I had known them all my life. This has been by far our most impressive community yet. Hopefully I to will soon become a resident of The Stayton.

We toured this location when we were looking into care options for our loved one. Out of all the place we saw I think this one may have been the nicest. It was beautiful, and everyone was very friendly. However, it is located in a busy area of town that I don't think some of my relatives would have been comfortable getting to and from.

This is a very nice community with tight security and many living options. Their clubhouse is equal to many country clubs. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I toured a 2/2 Apartment and a 2/2 Villa. The location is very convenient.

Did not have a meal, but impressed with their $300 monthly meal allowance. Best option. Large variety of room plans. Site has assisted living and full medical care on-site. Good location with pleasant grounds. Offers various buy-in options to reduce monthly rental costs. Villas complex on south end of property.

Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing & Memory Care. Independent under construction and finished 10/10. Assisted very nice but small member community.

The interaction with the staff is good. They do so much for the residents, with the variety and the menu. We picked this place based on research, and recomendations. They have so much going on, as far as activities. For the cleaniliness, food and activities, and for the value you can't beat it. They have a chapel for those who want to attend on Sundays. The staff gets along very well.

A big plus at Ventana for my husband and me are the other residents. We've been here a year and have wonderful new friends, both singles and couples. Another plus is the staff - the positive attitude of management which carries throughout. Meals in the restaurants and room service also earn a thumbs-up. With considerable effort and flexibility they try to accommodate many different culinary preferences. There are countless events appealing to a variety of interests - music, movies, Bible studies, parties, style shows, lectures, book club. The Wellness Center offers a full range of fitness equipment and programs. Or you can create your own regimen by walking in the adjacent residential neighborhood, across the street at North Park, or swimming/exercising in the salt water indoor pool. During the COVID challenge, management has comprehensively addressed safety provisions without smothering our lives. We made a smart choice by moving here.

I toured here when I was originally looking for a place for my mom to go but ultimately decided on a different community. It’s a beautiful place and there were people from her church that were there, but their financial office was difficult to deal with. The rest of the staff and the management seemed easy to communicate with and easy to work with. The community was kept clean, the food was good, and the people were wonderful. The residents seemed to be very happy there and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Overall, it just came down to the cost of everything that kept us from moving mom in.

The facility is good. It's just that there is a lot of bureaucracy, and the communication isn't as good as it should be. They need to communicate better with family members. It seems to be reactive as opposed to proactive. It's clean the staff is friendly, the food is good. We haven't really been there long enough to judge the value.

It was very good. I probably would have left him there but for one thing it was about $2500 more than the other place and it was less convinient. The staff were pretty good, they had a lot more people there, sometimes you couldn't get someone instant, that was one of the things, he's incontinent so it would take awhile for them to come but I'm sure that's the same any place. They were very good, they had a couple of staff that we weren't real crazy about but for the most part they were good.

We toured Buckner Villas and it was an older community, but we had a great tour experience and first impression. We chose another community because Buckner was located too far away.

Excellent place to live. Overall the CNAs and helpers are all very caring and personal. Food is absolutely delicious. The staff are all sympathetic and encouraging.

It is a very well run community. They provide some medical assistance-very efficiently (bringing pills to your apartment, etc.) Entertainment things are usually provided at various times of the day and evening.

I love living here.

I love living at Parkway. They take care of us and it's nice to have friends among the employees. The rooms are nice, meals are good, and activities are fund and intended for us to participate. It's a nice place to live and I would recommend anyone who was looking for a place to live. Fix the dryer on the 3rd floor please.

I enjoy many things we do here. The staff is very compassionate and care a lot. Dining and activities are better now that we can get out more I have fun.

I have lived at Calder Woods 5 years the people that live here are very nice and pleasant. We have many games we play for fun such as 42, bridge, bingo, and others. We have exercise classes. Also swim classes. We have a library with many books to read. Calder Woods is a good place to live.

Many friends here-The staff trys hard to meet our needs through activities. I love the Christian atmosphere.
