Buckner acquires its first independent-only senior community.

Buckner acquires its first independent-only senior community. April 3, 2026 Dallas-based Buckner Retirement Services, in a joint venture with Presbyterian Homes & Services, has acquired its first independent living-only community from Life Care Services. The property is Buckner's eighth senior living community in Texas, and all of them have an independent living component. Although the community is jointly owned, Buckner will exclusively manage the day-to-day operations under a new subsidiary, Signature Buckner Management Group. "Entering into this joint venture with PHS was a natural fit and a decision rooted in our shared, faith-based values and commitment to serving others. By bringing our teams together, we have a meaningful opportunity to learn from one another and combine our strengths to elevate resident experience," Buckner Senior Vice President Ken Robbins said in a statement. The Bedford, TX property, located between Dallas and Fort Worth, formerly was called Parkwood and has been renamed Lightwell under the new owners. "Lightwell means 'place where light shines,' a fitting name and description for the community, aptly describing a place of peace and purpose in a thriving and joyful setting," Buckner said. Lightwell has 147 independent living apartments grouped around interior courtyards, all connected to a central clubhouse via covered breezeways. Amenities include on-site dining services, salon services, a variety of social and enrichment activities, and close proximity to medical, dining and retail services. "This is an exciting new chapter for the community, and we look forward to serving the residence with excellence. The addition of another vibrant community in a strong market like Dallas-Fort Worth helps build a more sustainable future to continue our mission serving senior adults," Robbins said.
