Being a Buckner Retirement Services community team member is more than just being an employee. It’s about being a deeply valued member of a team focused on a greater mission—to follow the example of Jesus by serving seniors. We do this together by setting the standard of excellence in senior care.
This mission is the starting point for not only the way we care for those we serve, but those we serve alongside—working with a heart for faith, integrity, respect, service, and teamwork. These principles are what set us apart not only as a senior living provider but as an employer. The difference in everything we do is in the purpose and in the Buckner Retirement team culture.
Buckner Retirement Services understands that our strong generational, ethnic, and gender diversity is a large piece of what makes us successful and is at the heart of who we are organizationally. The Buckner Retirement company culture strives to mirror the diversity of the local communities while advocating for a more equitable and inclusive future for generations to come.
The Buckner International and Buckner Retirement Services diversity, equity, and inclusion (D.E.I.) strategy is to ensure fair and equitable policies and practices and to hold individuals accountable for upholding these policies and practices.
When it comes to diversity and inclusion, we believe it’s not enough to just talk the talk but rather walk the walk. This requires action that moves us forward with tangible results and progress.
- The Buckner International Cultural Intelligence Committee works with Buckner Retirement Services to work on specific D.E.I. procedures and practices throughout the organization.
- Through the implementation of our Forward Together: Plan of Action for Racial Equality mission (P.A.R.E) mission, we are focused specifically on equality and inclusion in the workplace.
- Buckner has worked with intentionality to create cultural education and celebratory programs for not only associates but residents and families throughout our local communities as well.

What Most Job Listings Don’t Tell You
General overview for this role type — specific duties and requirements vary by employer.
Support roles in senior living — housekeeping, maintenance, activities, and social work — are far more resident-facing than similar positions in other industries. Housekeepers and maintenance staff interact with residents in their personal living spaces daily, which requires discretion, patience, and genuine respect for the people who live there. In Texas, even non-clinical staff must complete facility-specific training on topics like abuse prevention, infection control, and emergency procedures.
Activities coordinators and social workers play a direct role in resident well-being — isolation and depression are significant concerns in senior living, and programming that keeps residents socially engaged has measurable health outcomes. Maintenance staff in senior care need to understand life-safety systems (fire alarms, emergency generators, call systems) and are often the first responders for building emergencies. Background checks are required for all positions, and many facilities prefer candidates who have previous experience working with older adults.
What to Expect in This Role Day-to-Day
Based on typical senior living facilities in the Houston area.
For housekeeping roles, the day follows a room-by-room schedule — cleaning resident rooms, sanitizing common areas, managing laundry, and responding to spill or accident cleanups as they happen. Infection control protocols are more rigorous than in hotels or commercial cleaning, especially during flu season or respiratory illness outbreaks.
Maintenance staff handle a daily work order queue — everything from changing light bulbs and fixing call buttons to HVAC maintenance and plumbing repairs. Life-safety equipment checks (fire extinguishers, exit lighting, generator testing) happen on set schedules. Activities professionals plan and lead group programming — exercise classes, crafts, music sessions, outings — and also provide one-on-one engagement for residents who cannot participate in group settings. Social workers manage care conferences, discharge planning, family mediation, and community resource referrals. Across all these roles, the common thread is that you become a familiar, trusted presence in residents' daily lives.
