My parents have been at Buckingham for a year and I continue to be impressed with their genuine and caring staff. They are extremely responsive and truly care about the residents. Buckingham is locally owned and they take pride in providing quality services. Thank you Rita and staff!

I have worked at Buckingham South for over two years and I must say that this is a wonderful place to work. The entire staff here are the most loving and devoted people I have ever worked with. Rita's attention to every possible detail and her caring and loving approach she exhibits for each and every resident is a beautiful thing to behold. The staff go above and beyond for the residents. It is truly a pleasure to be a part of.

I was just thinking about my mom and the place she is staying. I probably sound like an advertisement, but I felt like I wanted to extend and share gratitude. Buckingham South feels like home when I go to visit my mom. The staff is not your average staff in my opinion. From the director, Rita Slatus, to the nursing staff, to Barbara who makes my mom bed, and everyone in between, all of these people seem to be caring beyond their jobs. I’ve taken classes with my mom and watched movies too. The staff is amazing. My mom is content, secure, and happy. She says so too!!! Of course, I visit as much as possible and am grateful for the care she receives when I’m not there. It’s a comfort for me too. If you are reading this and considering alternative places for your loved ones to be well cared for, put Buckngham South on your list.

A lovely caring and loving environment for those who need assisted living at any stage. As our father progressed from independent living through his final days, he was treated with kindness and understanding. The family at Buckingham South guided us though the processes and bureaucracy as Dad became more ill and needed higher levels of care. Those at Buckingham who work with the residents are truly kind and provide the highest level of professionalism, IMO. Because Buckingham is a smaller, more intimate facility than other independent and assisted living facility, there is a true feeling of family. Activities abound, fascinating and intelligent residents for making friends and making a community for Dad, and privacy, quite and peace when residents want that. I cannot recommend Buckingham South strongly enough as a place that ensures residents are truly taken care of at all stages of living.

I have lived ay Buckingham South for a year and and a half and since I came here I have been treated like a family member, The love and compassion the family has shown me cannot explained in words only what I have seen from the love and favors I have received from all the family to make sure I am well taken care of. When I walk down the hall and I see Sean or Steve and mention I need a favor in less time that I can explain what it is it is already done THEY ARE MY HEROES Whenever I see Rita it never fails that I get a Great Big Hug' I love all the Residents here and I love all the caregivers that go that extra mile to assure me that I am well cared for. God Bless Buckingham South and may God Bless America for giving me a home.

Looks can be deceiving! This is the best senior living place around! We brought Mom to Savannah because of the pricing compared to around Atlanta. Unfortunately we had her in another facility until we found Buckingham. What a difference this place is! They are so compassionate, the staff are ALL great! Always activities going on, the food is great, the staff knows everybody's name! All residents are intigated, no locking someone in a memory care unit! We couldn't have been happier 🙂 we love y'all at Buckingham!

My wife and I just left Buckingham South after visiting my 93 year-old mother for the weekend. She’s been at this facility since 2012 and quite frankly I don’t know where else we could’ve gone to get better attention and service. This professional upscale facility goes above and beyond as far as we can tell for every resident. Every time we come to visit mom tells me how great the food is in the dining room, what great care the nurses give on her floor and how much she appreciates the housekeeping department that comes in and takes care of everything just like she likes. It makes us so happy to see her happy. And we believe that’s mostly due to the staff and the services that she’s offered. I highly recommend Buckingham South to anyone for their loved ones.

I want to say how impressed I was with Buckingham South & especially Ms RITA who is an Angel. She really has a wonderful gift to care for the residents. My mom was only there for a short while but the experience we had was made memorable because of Ms RITA. I can say that Ms RITA works long hours night & day. She was always there smiling & she always knew everyones name & what was going on. It’s a very well run family business with long caring hours. You can tell they really care about all the residents. My mom passed away peacefully, holding my hand at Buckingham on my birthday 9/12/21. Mom was put on Hospice after leaving hospital & I never left her side and Ms RITA was so very understanding to allow me to be there constantly with my mom. It meant so much to have those days & moments just holding my mom’s hand, talking about things, listening to music, praying together. Saying I LOVE YOU more times than I can count. My momma was a fighter, but she grew tired at age 77 with CHF. & being in n out of 12 hospitals in just one year. But then With COVID 19 restrictions & Lockdowns I was so afraid mom would pass away ALONE. Like so many loved ones did in hospitals😭 since COVID. The last time in hospital hospice was called in. That was something I don’t think I was prepared for…. Anyways, I witnessed my mom see her Angel waiting to take her to the other side….. my moms mom (who passed 14 yrs ago) it was peaceful when the Lord took mom home and my faith is reassured that one day I will see mom & my granny again!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 I want to THANK YOU MS RITA for your compassion, kindness, warm heart & beautiful words you shared with me the night ( my birthday) my momma passed. I will cherish those words & the moments as long as I live. Kaye Bufalini

My mom is celebrating almost 10 years at Buckingham South. Thank you and the staff for making Buckingham South such a wonderful place for our Mom. The people that we encounter at different times of the day or night are always respectful, generous, and sincere. Their care on the 3rd Floor is very much appreciated. In fact, everywhere we go we see how people treat our mom with respect, personal care, and humor. I, too, am always greeted with smiles and a welcome back whenever we come to visit. Buckingham always feels like home to me.

My MOM has been a resident for many years. The facility is clean and smells great,unlike other facilities. The staff is friendly and efficient. Buckingham South is the only facility that I would put my loved one for the best care possible!

My mother came to Buckingham after severe neglect from 2 other facilities. Her legs and hands were swollen and she was overmedicated with drugs. Immediately due to the fabulous low salt, and high quality food, mom’s swelling went away. Mom was engaged in activities and ate in the dining room. Mom became more alert and more of her personality came out. Buckingham feels like a family. Mom unfortunately broke her leg, due to complications from a previous facility. Buckingham went over and above to make phone calls and help us find a great rehab option. We are returning back home to buckingham and cant wait for mom to get back. Rita is a wonderful administrator with a heart of hold for her patients. She has high expectations for her staff. We love it there. It is a perfect fit for us.

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 and her entire staff showed sincere care for our mother during her stay at Buckingham South. The staff helped mom transition from leaving her home to adjusting to assisted living. During mom’s illness Rita spent many hours comforting and reassuring mom that she would continued to be cared for and not alone. My siblings and I are grateful for the excellent care our mother received.
