Buckner Retirement Services

This is a beautiful facility that has a very warm, inviting atmosphere. Our contact was very welcoming, friendly and took time to show us each of the different levels of communities. This would be great for Independent Living or Type A Assisted Living where there is no need for outside doors to be secure. They did have all levels of care, but was outside of our budget.

Despite being priced on the higher end of our family's budget, this place made a *fantastic* impression. The lady I toured with was very careful to make certain all of my questions were answered and really spent time listening to me describe my elderly relative's situation. I like that an easy transition from independent to assisted is possible, should the need arise (with the community fee covering both locations), and I especially like that there is no lease as such, one only needs to give 30 day notice to leave so there's no "being locked in" to arrangements that may not work for whatever reason down the line (with folks of variable health, that can be important). The seniors we met in the hallways were of various health ranges, but everyone seemed to recognize my tour guide, and they were wishing her happy birthday and such - as opposed to other locations I'd viewed where the folks didn't seem to recognize or have a relationship with the staff really. I admit it's a tad pricey, but I at least feel like I'd be getting my money's worth.

I moved to Parkwood Retirement fall of 2018. I I really enjoy living here. [Name removed] and [name removed] and everyone here are so nice and helpful. They serve 2 full meals a day here. Breakfast and lunch. The food is very food. And they clean my apartment every week. That is so helpful after my husband passed away. My daughter and I looked at several places to live and she found this one, which turned our to be the right one for me, because they take good care of me and my family doesn't have to worry about me.

I have lived at Parkwood Retirement five years. The people are very friendly. I felt "accepted" right away. The kitchen staff knew my name after the first day. The office staff is great. They know all the residents and truly care about each one. Someone checks on each resident every day. The people here are like family. Parkwood is my home.

Mom loved the place as soon as she stepped foot in the door. Everyone looks out for each other and the staff is second to nun.

Lovely facility and very accommodating. Nice residential setting. Lots of grass and trees. The staff and residents were very welcoming. We did not sample the food but the dining room was nice and the food loooked good.

I moved to Parkwood Retirement Community December 15, 2016. I love living at Parkwood. When I decided to sell my home and move, I never considered any place other than Parkwood. It was a good move for me and I have no regrets about leaving my home. The entire staff is wonderful. All are very caring and make us feel like we have an extended family or at best that is how I feel now. My plan is to make Parkwood my forever home!

I think this is the one for her. She loved the staff and the independence she still needs.

Parkwood is a facility that truly cares for the residents. The aging process is not always easy and the outstanding staff here is trained and always available for any assistance needed. The residents know this and they also truly care for our staff. This makes for a happy atmosphere and a very pleasant place to live.

We haven’t made our final decision, yet, but this place was all [Name Removed] (our advisor) said it was and more. From start to finish of the tour, it just felt like the perfect place for our mom. [Name Removed] answered all our questions as did the residents we spoke with. Lovely, calm and restful property. Well maintained. Very spacious apartments. All other properties we visit will have to ‘measure-up’ to Parkwood.

What a wonderful place here! The people living here at Parkwood are friendly and caring. Our director, [name removed], and the other management leaders are fantastic! They are keeping us active and involved in many things that are fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. Also the meals are very good and the kitchen personnel are excellent. I'm happy!! I couldn't be in a better place than Parkwood Retirement.

I have been very happy with my living at Parkwood. Everyone on the staff knows my name. If I don't show up for a meal, someone either comes to my apartment of calls to make sure I am ok. There are numerous activities in which I can participate if I chose. The staff, and other residents, are all very friendly and helpful. We are like family. I could say more, but no more room!

Parkwood living is the best choice I could have made. Activities are varied and fun under Haine's direction. Besides activities, food is great. I am trying and eating food I thought I disliked. The food is delicious! Besides activities and food, the complete staff (admin and all of the staff works cohesively and know everyone by name) Residents are welcoming and look to help newcomers. Parkwood was the best choice formed.

Mom has lived at Parkwood for about 6 years now and couldn't be happier. The loving care and attention she receives is exceptional. There are plenty of activities and social events to keep her active and engaged. Our family thinks this is the perfect place for her.

When my mom moved out of her home 7 years ago she wanted to move to a place that was a family and Parkwood was the place. She has been so happy there. The staff take care of her like their own family. I have such peace of mind knowing that she is in a safe place where she is loved and well cared for.

My mom has resided at this facility (Senior Living) for more than a year. She is extremely happy with the meal service and general security. The staff performs daily non intrusive wellness checks on all of their residents. They employ a security feature that monitors the apartment door, and If the resident's door has not opened for a day, the staff will verify that the resident is safe and well. There are daily activities and weekly transportation offered to local department and grocery stores. Both my mother and I are extremely satisfied with our choice of Parkwood Retirement Bedford.

My dad loved everything about this place, but was just hesitant about the distance there will be between him and I and the fact that he just isn't familiar with his surroundings. We did, however, put a deposit down on an apartment there that has a fenced in private yard space for his dogs. Unless he changes his mind and finds something he likes better or becomes unwilling to move from his current home, the tentative move in date would be by 2/20/18

Parkwood Retirement was chosen by a neighbor and good friend of mine two years ago. She had looked at a lot of possibilities, but chose Parkwood to be her home. It was the right decision for her! From the coziness of her apartment, to the numerous choices on the food menu, to the entertainment and the caring and committed staff, she is a very happy resident. As she says, "I can be as busy as I want to be!" I would be remiss to say she also is very happy with the hairdresser at Parkwood!

An elderly friend of ours visited several retirement facilities two years ago. After much deliberation she decided on Parkwood. I must say that she could not have made a better choice. From the onset, the caring staff, the excellent facilities and many activities have only solidified that Parkwood was the right choice.

We toured this community. They offer a different environment for the residents. the staff is friendly. This was a different type of community that we were needing for my mom's care. We did like the staff and the care that is available. The menu was appealing. We would suggest that other families tour this community for the care of a loved one.
