One of the biggest myths about senior living is that moving into a community means giving up your independence. At Buckner Calder Woods, we hear this often—right up until someone takes a tour and realizes just how vibrant and self-directed life here can be.
The truth is, independent living at Buckner Calder Woods is designed to empower you, not limit you. Our programs and amenities are built to support your lifestyle, giving you the freedom to spend your time exactly how you want to.
A Calendar Full of Possibility
Buckner Calder Woods offers full social calendars, with everything from happy hours to game nights, concerts, movie screenings, and themed dinners. Residents can take part in group outings to museums, parks, restaurants, and local events—or choose to stay in and relax with friends. It’s your time, and we help you fill it with meaning and fun.
Wellness that Works for You
Staying active and sharp is a big part of supporting an independent lifestyle. That’s why Buckner Calder Woods offers a wide range of wellness programming—yoga classes, strength training, walking clubs, water aerobics, brain games, and more. Whether you’re interested in physical fitness or mental stimulation (or both!), there’s something for everyone at every level.
Fewer Chores Means More Time
Housekeeping. Maintenance. Cooking. Laundry. Those to-dos don’t disappear—but they do move off your plate. With practical services and staff support, you’re free to focus on the things that matter most to you—traveling, relaxing, volunteering, or learning something new. Independence isn’t about doing everything yourself—it’s about having the freedom to choose how your time is spent.
Staying Connected to the World Around You
Independence doesn’t mean isolation. Buckner Calder Woods residents stay active in their local communities through volunteer opportunities, donation drives, partnerships with churches and schools, and more. You’ll find all kinds of ways to serve and give back—both within your community and beyond it.
Always Learning, Always Growing
Buckner Calder Woods residents bring decades of wisdom, but that doesn’t mean they’re done growing. Life-long learning is a fundamental value we seek to cultivate in each of our communities and we offer residents a wealth of educational opportunities—guest lectures, language classes, art workshops, tech how-tos, and more—to make it easy to stay sharp while trying new things. Curiosity doesn’t stop at retirement, and neither should you!
Come See for Yourself. At Buckner Calder Woods, we believe independence looks different for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. We’re here to support the life you want to live, filled with connection, purpose, and ease. Reach out today to learn more or schedule a tour.
