Professional Healthcare Provider

LIPSTICK ON A PIG.. I have had multiple relatives there on multiple occasions and will not allow anyone in my family to ever be admitted there again. The Plaza is simply a dressed up version of a low price, low service medicaid facility. Per protocol, residents are evaluated and plans are developed. These are required for medicare and medicaid reimbursement. The problem is that the plans are not executed.
This facility maximizes their revenue from Medicare. Residents stay until their benefits run out and then are discharged.
Sometimes the patients are ready to go before the time limit runs out. They could be discharged earlier and are not. Sometimes they are not medically ready for discharge and are sent home only because their benefits run out. The Plaza is definitely a for profit business.
The care providers don't care. Their skills are marginal and they are lazy. I've seen their employees transfer to other similar facilities and they don't last because they had to work.
I have volumes of complaints but you get the picture. Please do not let your relatives be admitted to the Plaza if you love them.

We were able to visit The Plaza at The Buckingham, and the place was nice. I was able to see the rooms, and they were nice. I was able to eat lunch there, and the food was good. It's also reasonably priced and probably one of the nicest ones in Houston.

The food was fabulous. My mom was injured and spent two months in their SNF unit. This is not the place to be if you can't feed, bathe, or use restroom facilities by yourself. At one point we hired a sitter to come for a week and help. I spent all of my off days from work here. Discussed in detail any charges that might me incurred prior to choosing facility. Provided insurance information up-front. Was never told house doctor didn't take insurance and after two months was saddled with a $5000.00 out of pocket bill.

The Plaza at The Buckingham is very good and nice. There are a lot of facilities, but the place is very expensive. The rooms are nice and very good. The dining area is very well-done, nice, and has a lot of light. They have a lot of activities there. They have physical therapy. There's a library.

The Plaza at The Buckingham was probably the Taj Mahal. They have given my brother the ultimate care. They were in that room constantly checking on him, taking care of him, and keeping the facility so clean and nice. The food was good. It was just an unbelievable experience. He's very sick, so he didn't enjoy too many things, but he loved doing the physical therapy. It kind of got him out of his room. I liked the camaraderie. The people being so concerned, sweet, nice, and caring. He did go to the 10-year anniversary of the facility. They had bands, harpists, and different people playing music on each floor. It was quite an event, and it was his birthday that day; so that was something really extraordinary because he had not been getting out of his room. We took him out to give him a little party in his room. Then he went to experience all that on the different floors with his family and that was just wonderful.

Plaza at Buckingham was very lavish and royal-like for senior living but the nursing seemed to be worse than the other facility my father was in. The staff was very nice and the place was well kept.

I’ve looked at the The Buckingham. They have independent, assisted living, and memory care facilities. I was just checking their memory care. They don’t have enough caretakers to deal with the residents -- they did not have enough caretakers on the floor in general. They only have activities for them in the morning and nothing in the afternoon. They just let them sleep after lunch. They had bingo, bridge, and they take them out to different places like trips to museums. The staff was friendly enough, but nothing special. The food was good; the dining area was nice and clean. The apartments were nice. They need more care staff.

The Buckingham was very expensive and very large. It had many amenities. They had a lot of staff that took excellent care of the bedridden and the people who are up and rounded and eager movers. All kinds of people had good service there. There was a lot of freedom attached there. They had the Alzheimer's unit, skill nursing and health care units. They had all manners of gradation of facilities for the seniors. The dining rooms were very open, airy and lovely. There were linen napkin and flowers on the table. Their meals were nicely presented and it made me want to stop for lunch. I had seen scheduled deliveries of meals and people sitting in the dining room. The people seemed to be brought regular meals in smaller portion because the healthcare people don't eat a lot. But they came back with a little snack and a beverage later. They fed them often. The place was absolutely spotless. I would recommend them to others if they had the economic ability to pay for it.
