Nancy Sirgo
My mom had 4 wonderful years in Independent living with wonderful food and great activities and parties. When the time came for a higher level of care, I was so relieved that it was such a smooth transition, and her friends were close by. I would recommend choosing the Buckingham because it has all levels of care. It really matters.
Lily Soriano
We had a great experience with this skilled nursing facility. Christina, the clinical liaison, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She guided us step by step, answered all our questions, and made a stressful transition much easier. The staff was caring, and the facility was clean and well-run. We're very grateful for Christina’s support and highly recommend this place.
Myron Wanza
The Buckingham's Skilled Nursing Facility including staff has been a welcomed experience for our Mom. The amenities offered at The Buckingham sets them apart from most some, if not most SNF's. The Buckingham is tucked away minutes outside of the Galleria area like the best kept secret.The ambiance immediately gets your attention upon entering. A tour of The Buckingham speaks for itself. Some amenities offer an almost like home atmosphere. Unlike other SNF's. The Buckingham's Admissions Coordinator Ashley Reed was extremely helpful in facilitating a transfer to The Buckingham from another SNF for our Mom. The experience since her arrival has been nothing short wonderful by comparison. The Buckingham is a breath of fresh air and the staff is as wonderful too. If you're like us trying to find a SNF that suits most of your needs and offer some peace of mind for perhaps your entire family, I recommend giving them a call before rolling the dice and thinking all Skilled Nursing Facilities are the same. I believe a tour of their SNF will speak for itself. If this is your first time dealing with a parents care, I recommend you begin with The Buckingham and if you're lucky you may get to speak with Ashley Reed and meet their phenomenal team and staff. The Buckingham, where you may find some peace of mind, especially during unique times, in the life of a loved one!❤️
