What makes
Buckner Different?

We're a nonprofit senior living provider

Buckner is a nonprofit service provider versus for-profit, meaning your financial investment is re-invested into the communities themselves to preserve the longevity and financial sustainability of the communities instead of meeting a shareholder’s bottom line objective.

Promises made and promises kept

Based on the consolidated 2023 audit for Buckner International and its subsidiaries, the consolidated net assets as of December 31, 2023 were $532 million. A factor that is important to Buckner Retirement Services, Inc. as well as current and future residents is ensuring the organization’s long-term ability to honor resident agreements and refunds as outlined thereunder.

Buckner’s obligated group of communities which includes communities in Austin, Beaumont, Houston and Longview, Texas have a combined Fitch financial strength rating of BBB+ indicating that expectations of default risk are currently low.

We bring a legacy of strength and stability

Buckner has a long history of serving seniors. Buckner was founded in 1879 and the first Buckner senior living community opened in 1954. However, the Buckner mission to serve seniors dates back to the early days of the ministry when aging widows lived at the Buckner Orphans Home and helped care for the children. Organizations do not last for more than 145 years unless they are operated wisely. Never in the history of Buckner has a program, location, or ministry been allowed to fail. Buckner has never lost any of asset to bankruptcy or mismanagement and Buckner has never missed a debt service payment or defaulted on a loan. Buckner has had one pre-planned bankruptcy as part of the debt restructuring for the acquisition of a new community.

We take a long-term approach to senior living

Buckner’s approach prioritizes consistency, thoughtful planning, and continuity of care. Communities are designed to adapt as needs change, helping reduce disruption while preserving familiarity and stability.

We offer a balance of stability and independence to residents and members

Buckner gives residents the ease of maintenance-free living with the added benefit of our signature hospitality and service. We’re best known for providing residents with a deep sense of community, purpose, and connection while prioritizing independence and freedom of choice in daily living through lifestyle and wellness programming, a diverse culinary experience, and a range of living accommodations.
