Butterfield Trail Village - Fayetteville, AR

Butterfield Trail Village is a 62+ Life Plan Community on 44 acres in northeast Fayetteville, combining independent living with assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing on one campus. Founded by five local churches, the nonprofit community opened in 1986 and now serves about 400 residents. Its defining feature is the continuum of care: residents can move between levels of support without leaving the Village. An onsite UAMS internal-medicine clinic adds primary, preventive and urgent care, including services from a geriatrician.
