Buckner Retirement Services

My parents have now been at Parkwood for 16 days. They are settling in and making new friends. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The kitchen staff knew my parents name, and mine, the second day we were in line for a meal. So far the food is good and my mother hasn't cooked since they arrived. There are enough activities to keep anyone busy. The grounds are nice and have a ton of very mature trees, very homey. The other residents have been very helpful and friendly too. They have only been there a short time, but all is good and they are happy. My dad has some dementia, so his adjustment is slower. My mom is having a great time. One nice perk is they have apt. that you can rent if you come for a visit. That was a very nice feature while moving them in. [Removed], and the whole staff has been awesome and we so appreciate all of their help!

We moved my Dad to Parkwood six months ago. I had two friends from church who live at Parkwood and are very happy so I thought that was the best possible referral. The staff is always around, super helpful and friendly. You can be busy and social, or quiet and private. Plenty of activities offered. The choice is yours. Meals are good and take-home is available for those times when you have a conflicting appointment with lunch. This is an older facility, but it is cozy, well maintained and the residents love living there. Options for 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom extra, and 2 bedroom size apartments with patio/balcony. Dad has acclimated well and is enjoying life at Parkwood.

We helped Mom relocate to Parkwood about six months ago from California. Parkwood offered the 2 meals a day we wanted as well as 24 hour oncall staff. The decor is a plus. Mom didn't want a modern stainless and chrome decor. The couches in the lobby and the comfy dining chairs are just her speed. The staff is unbelievable...so personal and warm and caring. At any price we couldn't have chosen better!

My loved one was about to move into this community but, due to some health issues they weren't able to. We really liked Parkwood Retirement for my mother. Everything was beautiful. Staff were friendly, meals looked very good and it was a very well up-kept community. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

We're very pleased with how things have turned out at Parkwood Retirement! It's a nice looking, clean, well kept community. The staff is very personable and professional, and I think they do a great job looking after the residents. They're definitely worth a look, if you're looking into senior living options in the area!

My wife passed away on Nov. 19, 2011. I lived at The Abbey in No. Richland Hills for 5 yrs. Then I felt I wanted to move to a retirement center where there were more people my age. I put down a deposit 1 year ago at Park Place. After 12 months, the apartment size I wanted did not open up. Subsequently, I put a deposit down for Meadow Lakes in North Richland Hills. A week before I was to move in, they returned my deposit--must have had someone willing to pay more. I visited 5 locations. Subsequently, I visited Parkwood Retirement and was greatly impressed: 1. They had a great discount offered for 2016 if you signed in December, 2015. I took it! 2. The size of the apartment was close to the one I was currently living in. My furniture fit just right. 3. Not only was the size and cost great, the staff was very friendly, informed and helpful. 4. I moved in last week and love the staff, the food quality and variety, and the friendliness of the residents! I never thought such a place would be so attractive and accommodating. It's the best! 5. I made the right choice and love it here! I rate it as a 5-star facility. I recommend it to all Seniors! Check this one out before you make your final decision. Oh yes, about a dozen members of our church already live here. It's a great fellowship. You'll love it too. Come join us!

Our experience here at Parkwood has been more than I had expected. The care and friendly attitudes from the staff are reflected in the residents' loving concern for each other. A true family feeling exists here, and there are so many very worthwhile activities that it is hard to keep up, but all are very good and contribute to the camaraderie of those who participate. All in all, more than I bargained for, and much better than I observed in all the other communities that I visited. I am certain we made the right choice

We're very pleased with how things have turned out with Parkwood Retirement! The facility is clean and well kept, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about senior care. They're incredibly responsive to any communications or requests, and they've done a great job helping my loved one get settled in!

Buckner was a good place. It was nice, and they did a good job. Mom only lived here for a couple of years, a lot of the residents had been there for many years. She played the piano a few times a week and was really happy here.

The complex itself is outstanding in that my mother will never have to leave the acreage there. Everything is there for her, it is totally transitional. They have been totally supportive. They have a full-time physical therapist working with people. There is plenty of food. The price is the best I found in town. She is very happy there.

As far as improvements, the only thing would be to change up and have a few more varied activities, instead of the same thing every time. As far as everything else, it has just been a good experience as far as the facility and the people with I have worked with.

It's been really good so far. We haven't had any complaints. The upkeep and the maintenance are good. We are happy with them. I would give them a five at this point.

Staff is friendly and welcoming. The apartments are being updated as tenants move out. Pleasant atmosphere and lots of things to do if you choose, or you can have your privacy.

We're very pleased with how things have gone at The Stayton at Museum Way! The staff here are very friendly and attentive, and very personally interested in the residents and their well-being! They seem to learn everyone's name almost from day one! The facility itself is well kept, and clean clean clean! It's just a nice place overall, and we are glad we found it!

My loved one is really happy there. She is participating in the activities, and she likes the food. She loves sitting out on the balcony, the access to outside, is one of the reasons we chose them. I see a lot of happy faces there.

Everybody here is extremely friendly, both the staff and the residents! Before I even moved in I had people coming up to me saying "you're really going to love it here!" and they were absolutely right. They have very neat activities, offering a little something for everyone. I can't relax think of anything they need to do to improve. The food is excellent. I am really happy here and thankful to be here!

They are great! They could not be more accommodating. If we had chosen any other place, I don't think we would still be there. My loved one is very difficult, and they have juts been fantastic. They have been so understanding, and Mark and Leslie are outstanding! On a scale of 1 to 5, I give them a 6!

This place is phenomenal. After touring, I felt so comfortable knowing my family member was going to stay here and be well taken care of. The staff is beyond helpful, the building itself is amazing, and the quality of care is superb.

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.
