Your story!

My mom is now a resident of Buckingham South, after living in her home for nearly 70 years. Since her arrival at Buckingham South, her quality of life has improved immensely. I can’t say enough about the quality of the care that Rita and the wonderful staff provide to all of the residents. Visiting my mom is also like going home to visit family which is how the great people of Buckingham South make you feel. With all sincerity and love for those that care for our mom, Lee Green, we thank you all so much. James Green & Don Donahoe ❤️🌹

Our loved one has been a resident at Buckingham South for two months. The transition was made right before the COVID-19 pandemic, so the closure of the facility to outsiders has been difficult for all. The staff, led by Rita, has remained professional and caring during these difficult times. Rita's leadership during this COVID-19 crisis has exuded confidence and excellence to all those working at Buckingham, to all the residents at Buckingham, and of course, to all the families who depend on Buckingham to take care of their loved ones. Buckingham South is the family you need in good times, but has shown steadfast consistency of care in trying times. Thanks to all those in leadership, nursing and staff. Our family is forever grateful.

Rita, Your letter to the editor this morning is such a lovely tribute to Dr. Hubby. I wish I’d had the privilege to know him. Learning is what keeps life vibrant. He was evidence of that. Thank you for your love of your residents. I believe that yours and your family’s commitment to the residents of Buckingham South makes it such a very special place. It is so nice to see how happy Dick’s mom each time we visit. Have a wonderful day. Fondly, Susan Wallace

Our family is grateful to Rita and all employees at Buckingham South for their help is getting my mother-in-law settled into her new apt. In 2 weeks time she is no longer crying every day or complaining about being alone. She loves dining with new people each night and told us the chef is great. All the employees have gone above and beyond my expectations for what I had expected of an assisted living community. Rita has a gift for dealing w the elderly and we are extremely happy to be a part of the family at Buckingham South:) Jamee Brennan

I'm so thankful to Rita and her crew for taking such good care of my dad and stepmother. We had them in another facility and my father almost died from neglect. Buckingham South is the best! Thanks Rita!

My closest relatives, who are both age 94, have been living at Buckingham Square for over a year now. I could not be happier with the level of care and love they are receiving. Their health care is complicated and challenging and the staff at Buckingham go to great lengths to make sure their needs are met. They also encourage them to get involved in the extracurricular activities. I live 500 miles away and can only visit every few months but I am in constant communication with their caregivers so I feel very close and well informed. Buckingham Square gets my highest recommendation and without any reservations.

Thanks to the attentive med techs, Dawn and Lenora, my mom is so well taken care of. They noticed a change in her blood pressure which was easily handled by the download they were able to provide me for our physician. Everyone is looking after mom which is very comforting to me.

Rita and her staff are amazing! The attention and care my dad has received has been wonderful!

My Mother, Ann Miltiades moved to Buckingham South in April, 2015. Rita Slatus, her family and staff helped make this a smooth transition, and Mom loves her home. They have seen her through a hospitalization and recovery from a broken hip, and most recently a heart attack. On April 2, Mom went to Rita not feeling well, and after a while, Rita called for the EMTs. Mom's vitals were fine, and the emergency responders didn't think she needed to go the hospital. Of course, Mom didn't want to go either! Rita insisted and it turns out Mom was having a heart attack! We are grateful to Rita for taking such good care of Mom and thankful that she is now back at Buckingham in a safe and loving environment. Evelyn Forman

My grandfather has been living at Buckingham for over 15 years and absolutely loves it. They meet his every need. They have the most loving and caring staff.

Great care and treatment of my grandmother. Great food and fun!

I am a registered Nurse and have never seen such outstanding, personal, loving care! Truly the finest care in Savannah!
