Where Experience, Care,
and Purpose Come Together
Choosing a senior living community is about more than amenities or location—it’s about trust. At Buckner, decades of experience, faith-based values, and a commitment to thoughtful care come together to create communities where residents feel supported, respected, and confident in the choices they’re making for today and the future.
Serving Texas
Seniors Since 1954
For generations, Buckner has served senior adults with integrity and distinction. As a mission-driven nonprofit organization, Buckner is guided by purpose rather than profit, allowing decisions to be made with long-term well-being, stability, and quality of care in mind. That experience brings confidence to residents and peace of mind to their families.

Residents also have peace of mind knowing that we are committed to serving and caring for those in our community for life. Buckner’s Senior Care and Assistance fund ensures residents will never be asked to leave due to a genuine inability to pay or for those who outlive their resources.
Promises made and promises kept
Buckner’s promises. are backed by generations of faithful stewardship and financial stability. With eight communities across Texas, Buckner has a long history of serving seniors. Buckner was founded in 1879 and the first Buckner senior living community opened in 1954.
