A Houston-based non-for-profit luxury retirement facility filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday in the Northern District of Texas.

Documents show that the retirement facility has 30 residents who are unsecured creditors who are owed between $851,105 and $1.89 million.

Buckingham has hired McDermott, Will & Schulte as its lead legal advisor. Partner Marcus Alan Helt of the firm’s Dallas office filed the first day documents in the case.
