Butterfield Trail Village sits on 44 landscaped acres in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and offers a structured environment for seniors looking for independent living, assisted living, or skilled nursing care, and the place spans quite a bit of ground with apartments, cottages, and spacious village homes that can reach up to 2,000 square feet, with floor plans that let you pick from studios, one- or two-bedroom apartments, and even village homes with two or three bedrooms, two baths, a big dining room, a patio, and a yard that's kept up by a hard-working staff, so folks don't worry about mowing or shoveling snow in the winter. The apartments on campus come with private patios or balconies, full-size kitchen appliances, and roomy storage, while the cottages give you two-bedroom duplex or four-plex choices, complete with patios, carports, and green backyards tucked in by trees and walking trails, and all the homes and cottages have all the bells and whistles to make day-to-day living more comfortable.
Residents can bring pets, and there's a big focus on comfort and convenience, so you'll see services like housekeeping, weekly linen changes, laundry, snow removal, trash and recycling, and regular appliance and grounds maintenance. There's also a meal program, wellness counseling, a fitness center, and scheduled transportation, and they make a point to create a safe setting with emergency pull-cords and wireless call systems throughout. For activities, there's always something going on from arts, crafts, woodshop, ceramics, to musical performances, trips with stories and photos, and community events like patriotic nights and parties. Folks can visit the library, shoot pool in the game room, shop at the little store and card shop, relax in the heated indoor pool or spa, or even work in the garden spaces, and you'll find a putting and pitching green, walking trails, patios, lounges with fireplaces, and a barbershop and beauty salon for grooming.
The Carriage Club organizes social activities for people even before moving in, and the wellness and Healthy Living programs make sure health and fitness stay a focus, while the Butterfield Trail Village Foundation runs programs aimed at personal growth and supports lots of resident services. The staff and board work to keep the place vibrant and sustainable, and Butterfield Trail Village is recognized for lifelong learning and wellbeing. The community is nonprofit, with a 501(c)(3) status, offers a resident portal for services, and teams up with the Fayetteville Visitor's Guide to keep residents and visitors updated about local festivals and annual events like the Mardi Gras Parade of Fools, Strawberry Festival, NWA Pride, and more, so there's always something new to see or do. The village has roots in the local scene, blends comfort with practical living, and provides many care options in a neighborhood where older adults can feel at home.
