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.

My parents are in Buckner Villas and they are liking it. The staff members have been wonderful. Any questions we have, anything that we need to be fixed, they've been wonderful throughout that. The residents are just so welcoming and the employees too. They have a gym, an indoor pool, yoga, and they have movies. The staff calls the residents by name and there doesn't seem to be a lot of turnovers. The food is wonderful; I've had their spaghetti, ham, meatloaf, and their appetizers and fish are very good. The facility is very clean and it smells clean, they do a nice job. They have little clubs, but it's very faith-based facility. They have Bible studies. They play all kinds of card games. They have a Spanish club, a German club, and things like that.

Buckner Villas was a beautiful facility. It's fairly new, well taken care of, very spacious, and welcoming, but the price range was not for me. The staff I met was very easy to talk to. I liked the openness of the meal situation. I think they don't have a swimming pool available yet, but they were planning to have one. The dining room was very nice and very classy, too.

I have always loved this place. All of the staff working everyday seem to care about the residents and want to make this a nice place to live and enjoy their lives. I know many of the staff by name and I visit often. Let me preface my comments and ONE STAR review with a bit of history. I have been visiting this place since it opened in 2011 and have had a few family members living in this facility over the past several years. Yes it is beautiful, the staff working everyday are great. My issues are within the past 6 months or so. The food quality has changed and higher management seemingly has a focus on the bottom line much more than the quality of certain aspects, especially the food and even resident comments about the food particularly. I say this with a lot of experience, this is not a random post about one bad meal. It is the overall quality of the food service and overall higher management care or concern for the comments and thoughts from the residents themselves. Also, this is not a reflection of the everyday staff themselves, it is a reflection of what seems to be higher management pinching pennies. They recently expanded the facility and it houses many more residents now, as a result, they should have a great deal more income, yet they have not increased staffing. They have also changed food vendors. Honestly, my current family member is picky, I will admit. Originally I thought it was just her being difficult, but now I have seen it first hand. I am not so picky and notice a significant reduction in quality as well as a significant dismissal of resident thoughts on the changes. This makes me sad as it has been nice for so many years, maybe things will improve sometime soon. When they do, I will happily update me review.

Pro's: central location Con's: Facility is in need of major renovation, poor hygiene (when patient is changed, material/bedding is thrown on the floor), nurses are not trained for hospice patients, expensive for private pay, food is terrible (cafeteria food), some patients are neglected because of staffing levels

My husband’s grandmother is in Buckner Villas. It looks like a resort and it’s beautiful. They have a lovely pool, a weight lifting room, and exercise room. They had big hallways that were well-appointed. Their apartments are big and spacious, and the food is great. She has a two-bedroom apartment with a balcony, it’s really big, and like a regular apartment.

Buckner Villas would be our top choice for mom because it is super nice, and they have the best physical fitness program of anyone. They have a fulltime employee doing it, and she is awesome. You get most for your money here, but I don't think you'll be able to get in. I think they have a waiting list like ten miles long. It is a huge complex, and they have all different things there. They have memory care, assisted living, and independent living. They even have a deal where you put in money and live in a place then pay the rent. In the end you get like 90% of it back. They have lots of options. For the money, it is the best deal I've seen.

We knew about Buckner Villas from my wife's grandparents because they were in Buckner many years ago. We visited the facility and we liked it. The place is very nice and very modern. The food was very good. Everyone was just very helpful. The staff looked they enjoyed with what they are doing.

Buckner Villas was a small complex and everything was brand new. It was an excellent place. If it was only my mother that I would move, but the place was not suitable for both my parents.

My friend from church hosts her personal events using the community facilities at Buckner Villa. As a result, I've seen the staff and resident interaction, tasted the food, experienced various events on site, and see that it truly provides a caring home-style environment where residents can maintain their personal activities and entertain. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. The public areas are clean and comfortable, and the food is exceptional. There are multiple food choices too. Last time I was there, we ate at a little bistro with sandwiches, desserts, salads, and snacks. Access to the community is easy, and it's close to shopping, dining, a variety of churches, and public transportation. I only give it four stars because they don't accommodate pets, which I feel is very important. However, some people don't want animals and I recognize that. Buckner offers a variety of care levels, various sizes of accommodations to suit singles or couples, and they welcome visitors too.
