Ventana by Buckner accepts Medicare.
Ventana by Buckner is a high-rise nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care community at 8301 N Central Expy in Dallas’s Park Cities neighborhood. Buckner Senior Living, Inc. operates it; Mariana Brinegar is the administrator.
The building is six years old, part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and requires a minimum age of 55. Medicare and private pay are accepted. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas is 1.29 miles away.
Seventy-two beds, 49 currently occupied, puts occupancy at 67%. The average stay is 42 days. That figure, combined with the CCRC structure and five care levels under one address, tells you something specific: this is a community built for short-term rehab with a longer-term care framework in the background for residents who need it.
Nursing care totals 6 hours and 7 minutes per resident per day: 56 minutes from an RN, 1 hour and 27 minutes from an LPN or LVN, and 2 hours and 16 minutes from nurse aides. Transportation services, fitness and recreation, and pet accommodations round out the on-site offerings. A Residents Group and an Active Resident Council are both CMS-recognized and meet regularly on care quality and daily life.
State inspections by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have focused on emergency preparedness, and care planning and documentation. The Walk Score is 77, genuinely very walkable for a Dallas address, and the Park Cities location puts a range of neighborhood amenities within reach.
A five-care-level CCRC in Park Cities with a hospital less than two miles away, high nursing hours per resident per day, and a 42-day average stay: Ventana by Buckner is configured primarily as a short-stay post-acute community with a larger continuum available for residents who age into it.
