Buckner Westminster Place
Operated by Buckner Retirement Services, Buckner Westminster Place provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Longview, Texas. The community can accommodate those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia through a dedicated program. With multiple levels of care, the community is best for older adults whose needs could grow over time or a family needing short-term support.
With 20 beds, it is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know one another. Furthermore, housing includes studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. A studio is one private space, while a two-bedroom layout may suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.
A Walk Score of 49 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for routine trips. Medicare is accepted as a payment option, though it generally applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence.
