Buckner Retirement Services

Calder Woods in Beaumont TX had transportation from 9-3 every day for all kinds of appointments. CW took a bus to grocery stores two days a week. Business office offered stamps for sale, would weigh your packages and the front desk would give them to postman, would make copies and fax documents for residents. CW also offered laundry services for your linens each week and delivered them to your door clean.

A place for mom is a wonderful organization. They helped me find a place for my brother in the san angelo tx area. They provided and set up appointments to see 3 different retirement communities. They helped with many things i needed help with, VA, personal care with Visiting angels.

Moved our demented father six weeks ago from a higher rated (and more expensive) facility. There is an enormous positive difference in everything - especially one on one care - at The Stayton and we are both pleased and grateful.

Being able to have all care done in one community, the amenities they offer, the cleanliness and the meals are all better than I expected. Everything smelled good, the apartments are beautiful and the views are great!

My mother ended up recovering and returning to her home, but she made good friends and my sisters and I felt very safe having her at Parkway Place while she recovered.

So my parents found themselves homeless after a house fire. Both of them have mobility issues with my mom being in a wheelchair. [name removed] from Buckners really went the extra mile to find a spot for them and was able to get one of the cottages modified for my mom in record time. The space is absolutely beautiful and everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. My mom and dad say they feel like they are on a cruise. Thank you everyone for helping us in what has otherwise been a traumatizing event.

Buckner is fabulous! The experience has been excellent.

This place has the most friendly residents and help you could ask for. We are very happy and content with our accommodations.

The menu doesn't change that much at all and food is very bland. They seem to have a hard time keeping serving staff on hand. They also close the cafe at times due to shortages and that doesn't help those that don't cook anymore. Considering that specific town and lack of choices I would still say it's the top place. My parents are getting so much more there than they did before moving. They are getting more exercise daily by walking to the cafe. They have so many friends now that it's better for them mentally because they are engaging in conversation more. They love the convenience of having a nurse or doctor during the week as well as a barber/beauty shop and free rides to/from medical appointments and once weekly to local store. Laundry on site too.

Extremely supportive staff especially at the beginning when it is hard emotionally. The rooms and facilities are not clinical but homey and cozy.

Safety is an important factor. Gated parking for residents, always have someone at the reception desk or security person at night. Staff is great about helping with anything you ask them to do. If they can't help, they will put you in contact with someone that can help.

I feel really good about my mom being at Parkway Place and in their care. I am not worried at all. Communication with the family is great, the staff knows who the residents are and chat with them. The meals are AMAZING! I would highly recommend Parkway Place to others.

I would like to say that i have a family member in this facility. I am very pleased with the decision i have made. The staff is WONDERFUL. They have been very accommodating and welcoming.. anything that we have needed and ask for they have done it in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend Ventana to anyone that made need an established such as this one.

We have nothing to say but good things about Parkway Place. We would recommend them to anyone looking. I would tell others that all of the staff are exceptional. Because they are part of the Buckner group, they have a Christian mindset, and philosophy.

The friendliness of the staff should get 5+ stars. The staff is fantastic. The residents of the facility are all quite friendly. We pay for our meals, but they are very inexpensive. My wife and I really enjoy it here and highly recommend Baptist Retirement Community to other families based on the experience we have had so far

My loved one is in the independent living area. The people are really friendly, and so are all the workers. I think they are doing a great job. I would definitely recommend this community to others families.

We are very pleased with Buckener Villas - they seem to really care about the residents.

Our family had an in person tour and from everything we saw on the tour and all the staff members we spoke with, we thought it was a great experience

This facility is the best place around. My mother-in-law is very happy there! They have so many activities from cake decorating to bingo. She was hesitant to participate at first. But now, sometimes when we go visit we can't even find her because she's out doing her activities. She truly loves and enjoys them. The meals are ok, she says they're a hit or miss. But we're able to go get her and take her out to eat often, so it works out. She also has a little personal kitchen area where she can make things for herself if she wants to. They do offer housekeeping and laundry, but she's pretty independent and likes to mostly do those things on her own. Periodically, we do request that they do a deep clean for her, which they willingly do and they do a great job. The staff is great and very helpful. I would definitely recommend The Stayton!

It appears my sister is very happy there. Nice community - Everyone is really nice and welcoming. Common areas are very inviting especially the library. Lots of activities too!
