Butterfly Homes III in Billings, Montana, sits at 477 Lily Valley Cir and folks around here know it for providing several types of senior care, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term care with skilled nursing, home health care that's Medicare-certified, non-medical home care, hospice, and even adult day services, which means you're going to find different levels of help depending on what someone needs at the time and that's good for seniors who want to stay somewhere familiar as their health changes. The memory care units support people with dementia, using secure environments and special programs, and staff help with daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, plus a 24-hour call system means there's always someone around if you need help through the night, so there's peace of mind for families.
The facility goes by Butterfly Homes Adult Family Homes, and this Butterfly Homes III spot is part of a group of sister sites in town, including Butterfly Homes I and II, each one under its own administrator, but all sharing a reputation for a compassionate, inclusive approach and a BBB A+ rating for ethical service, which is something folks have come to trust around here. You'll find options for semi-private and private rooms, plus studios, one- and two-bedroom suites, and accommodations come with things like fireplaces in the common rooms, gardens, a gazebos for sitting outside, and handy inside spaces like a dining room, residents' library, and an arts room, while apartment layouts and suites fit different care needs-say, assisted living, memory care, or those requiring more nursing attention.
Meals are made for all-day dining and they'll work with allergies, so residents can always get something they like, and there's weekly laundry and housekeeping services that keep things tidy, including dry cleaning, which helps a lot as folks age and want less to worry about around the house. The staff help with medication, personal care, supervision, and a full schedule of activities, like movie nights, walking groups on the paths, community events, and resident-led programs, which brings everyone together and keeps life lively and connected. Move-in support helps new residents settle in smoothly, and amenities aim to keep things safe and comfortable with emergency alert systems, support for daily needs, and even a barber and salon for fresh haircuts.
Butterfly Homes III runs as a continuing care retirement community, so as residents' health changes, they can stay put and receive extra support, which takes a load off both the residents and their families. The care goes beyond the basics, with specialized help for those facing Alzheimer's and dementia, including 24-hour supervision and activities to keep memory sharp for as long as possible. The whole place is run by the Butterfly Homes team, with Melinda Sauer and Carrie Cook among those helping to oversee the assisted living services, and everything's tied together by a mission to create a nurturing environment where seniors feel both independent and well cared for.
