The Village at Buckingham is a gated 55+ community made up of 56 single-family homes that were built between 2002 and 2006, and they all come with first-floor master suites, two-car garages, gas fireplaces, and floorplans that run from about 2,024 to 2,730 square feet, with options like cellars or walkout basements and deck areas for relaxing outdoors, so there's plenty of living space whether someone's in a Bartlett, Cambridge, or Alcott model. The homeowners' association manages things like landscaping, lawn mowing, and snow removal to make living there easier, and there are walking trails, a park with a pond where people often take wedding photos, and even a playground and lacrosse field at the entrance, so it has some nice outdoor spaces for different activities.
The Buckingham Club sits at the center of the community with its fitness center, card rooms, library, kitchen, and an outdoor patio as well as a cozy lounge with a big screen TV and a gas fireplace, and residents can use nearby green spaces and get together for annual block parties, tag sales, or holiday events organized by the community, which really tries to keep everyone active with both resident-run activities and scheduled daily events like movie nights. There's an active architectural review and landscaping committee, plus a wellness program and arts, activity, and game rooms, so folks have options for staying involved, and people have access to a clubhouse and library along with walking trails for fresh air.
As for care, The Village at Buckingham offers varying levels of help, including independent living where folks can get support services if needed, as well as assisted living for those who want help with daily tasks like medication, meals, bathing, or dressing, and personal care is available, with 24-hour help always on call for peace of mind. For people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, the memory care program provides a secure space with all-day support, specialized activities that aim to help memory, and supervision, while the skilled nursing section covers rehabilitation, wound care, and care for those with complex medical issues, with nurses present around-the-clock.
Respite care is also there for families who need a break, and dining options include meals made by a professional chef, restaurant-style seating, buffet and all-day dining, and meal plans for allergies or special needs, plus private bathrooms, small kitchens, cable TV, internet, and air conditioning in the rooms, as well as regular housekeeping, laundry, concierge help, and move-in coordination to keep things smooth.
The Village at Buckingham is close to Countryside Park and isn't far from shopping, dining, and medical services in Avon and Farmington, so getting out for errands or entertainment isn't a hassle, and the whole place is set up for people who value health, independence, safety, and staying connected with their neighbors, and even though the place has a lot of amenities, the focus stays on providing the support and choices seniors need to live the way they want.
