My husband is at The Buckingham. I think they are trying; his case is difficult. On Monday I'm going to a meeting with the team and we're going to review how it's been going and what's the care ahead. The physical is beautiful and luxurious. His room is very clean and very nice. The staff is very nice, but sometimes they are difficult to understand because most of the people there are not native English speakers plus the masks. The food to me looks excellent, but my husband has a problem. One of his cancer symptoms is that he's lost appetite and with the chemo, for him nothing is appealing. But I think it's much better than the hospital food. They try to make a variety and to cook it in a way that's appealing with all sauces. It's excellent. I think it's kind of overpriced. It's very expensive and I'm not so sure that the care you get there is any better than the care you get somewhere else. But the facility looks better than the ones I've visited.

The Buckingham was a beautiful facility. The staff was very attentive and my friend enjoyed her stay there. She was doing some rehabilitation, and each time I visited it was clean, well taken care of, and they were friendly. Another thing I was impressed with was the level of security. When you go in there they get a copy of your ID, they take pictures of it, and give you a visitor's pass even before you get past the welcome desk. I've been there three times and each time there were multiple staff members at the front desk, mostly two of them, and they were very friendly and interacted well with the residents. They also had complimentary healthy refreshments out. It was a lemon-lime and cucumber water and they made it available to everyone, residents or visitors. I had some of it and I thought that was very nice. They had personal attendants or physical therapists that would come in, take them to the rehab, and bring them back. They were engaging with the residents, and that was good. The grounds of the facility were really, really clean, but I didn't see a whole lot of extra stuff on the grounds. I've seen some places that had the trees and all of that, they had some, but not a whole lot of them. If I lived there I would like to it be a little warmer or scenic.
