Overview of The Buckingham

The Buckingham occupies a 130-bed facility at 8580 Woodway Dr in Houston’s Mid West neighborhood, 11.4 miles from downtown Harris County. Operated by Greystone Management Services Company LLC and administered by Elise Green, the facility opened in August 2006. The license designates it a long-term care facility offering independent, assisted, and memory care alongside nursing home services.

Current occupancy sits at 51% (66 of 130 beds), trailing the Texas average of 63.5%. The community operates on a Medicare-and-private-pay model: 69% of new residents are Medicare-funded short-stay rehabilitation patients (averaging 18 days), while 31% are private-pay residents with typical stays of 1–2 years. Medicaid is not accepted.

Daily nursing hours/resident total 5 hours 5 minutes; 34% above the Texas average of 3 hours 47 minutes, positioning The Buckingham 18th among 289 state nursing homes.

The RN component, at 1 hour 31 minutes daily, surpasses the average by 250%, delivering markedly stronger clinical oversight than peer facilities. LPNs contribute 1 hour 18 minutes (37% above average), and certified nursing aides 2 hours 56 minutes (45% above average). Weekend nursing sustains 4 hours 13 minutes/resident, 41% above state benchmark; with weekend RN hours at 1 hour 6 minutes, 230% above average. Physical therapy hours run 7 minutes/day, 75% above average.

Personnel comprise 22 registered nurses, 18 licensed practical nurses, 47 certified nursing aides, seven speech language pathologists, four clinical nurse specialists, and auxiliary therapy staff.

Health inspection ratings stand at 2 stars, 30.8% below Texas average.

Three-year citation totals reach 25, including 2 critical and 23 moderate violations, with quality-of-life-and-care deficiencies comprising 36%.

Federal penalties imposed over 2023–2025 total $138,000 across nine assessments; 71% above the Texas average and 866% above the typical fine count.

An administrative penalty in January 2025 ($2,250) specifically addressed inadequate staffing for resident supervision.

Pressure ulcer prevalence in high-risk long-stay residents registers at 34.8%, drastically, 687%; above state benchmark of 4.4%. Urinary tract infections affect 4.6% of residents, 467% worse than the 0.8% average. High-risk clinical events score 13.2, 53% worse than Texas average. Functional decline metrics, conversely, run 39% better.

Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes show 60% of residents successfully discharged to home or community, 19% better than average.

Financially, The Buckingham reports gross revenue of $32.2 million but carries a net operating loss of $12.7 million. Payroll comprises 48.1% of revenue, ranked 123rd of 297 Texas facilities; below the typical 51–63% investment.

Occupancy declined 12.5%age points between 2022 (63.4%) and 2023 (50.8%).

The Buckingham accommodates Medicare-funded short-term rehabilitation and private-pay long-term residents, supported by high nursing staffing levels yet marked by clinical risks and regulatory penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions about Senior Living Resources in Texas

What is senior living?

Senior living is an umbrella term covering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes — communities and services designed for adults aged 55 or older.

How many senior living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 12 senior living communities in Texas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right senior living community in Texas?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Texas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting senior living communities in Texas?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
