Open Mic

As part of an ongoing partnership with Interface-Samaritan Counseling Centers, The Buckingham senior living community recently presented a $5,000 donation towards the Powerful Tools for Caregivers program (PTC).  The donation included a match from the Senior Quality Lifestyles Corporation (SQLC) Charitable Foundation.  A national program that has reached more than 15,000 family caregivers in more than 20 states, The Buckingham was instrumental in bringing the PTC program to Texas, and continues to host PTC training courses, which are designed to empower caregivers with the skills and knowledge required to develop self-care strategies, including emotion and energy management.      

“The Buckingham is truly honored to be able to support such a wonderful course like the Powerful Tools for Caregivers program,” said Cathy Lightfoot, director of sales and marketing at The Buckingham.  “The information that the course teaches is very valuable .”

The Buckingham is Houston’s premier life care senior living community located in the heart of the Memorial neighborhood.  Situated on a 17-acre site along Buffalo Bayou at 8580 Woodway Drive, The Buckingham offers resort-style services and amenities for active, independent seniors, as well as all levels of health care services on-site at The Plaza at The Buckingham.  The community features 205 independent living residences; 42 private assisted living apartments; 16 private memory support apartments; and 60 private skilled nursing suites.
