The Springs at Butte sits a few miles south of Butte's historic uptown district at 300 Mount Highland Drive, in a quiet neighborhood with nice views of the Rocky Mountains and Our Lady of the Rockies, and when you drive up you'll see it's a big place with single-level homes, independent living apartments, assisted living apartments, even rest and recovery care, and it's got nearly 100 residences total, all with room sizes running from about 266 to almost 1,000 square feet so folks can pick what fits them best. The community blends independent living, assisted living, and memory care, which means seniors can stay as their needs change, and they let pets in too. The license number is #31481 and the place has a 65-bed capacity, so you'll see it's not too crowded but not tiny either, and you hear around town that the staff-physicians, nurses, and clinicians-seem friendly and know the people they help.
Residents get help with daily things if they need-bathing, getting dressed, medication reminders-and there's on-site therapy, as well as a hair salon and barbershop, and you can get housekeeping done for you, which many people appreciate. There's more space for folks to spend their time, like a library, cards and game room, theater, chapel, private dining room, guest rooms for family visits, and a fitness club that's special because it offers extra classes for those dealing with cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, osteoporosis, and hypertension. They run a life enrichment and wellness program, and bring out fitness and recreation options such as group classes, personal training, and wellness support to help people stay active. There's a greenhouse with raised gardens, a community pub, and several outdoor courtyards where you'll see people sitting together, and you can join arts and crafts activities if you're the creative type or just want to try something new.
Transportation is scheduled for shopping, museums, theaters, and other outings around town, so you don't have to worry about getting places, and inside, there are regular events, live talks, workshops, and resident gatherings for meals and games so folks don't get lonely. Dining happens in a restaurant-style setting, and cooks focus on using fresh, seasonal ingredients for shared and private meals, so people get to eat together and enjoy what's served. The Springs at Butte is tied to Marquis Vintage Suites-Butte, which means residents can get help moving between independent living cottages, assisted living, post-hospital care, and memory care without leaving the neighborhood if needs change.
The building itself was built with high ceilings and big windows to let in plenty of daylight, and it's set up so people can move around easily without dealing with steps. Safety's a focus too-the community stays quiet and secure, and the atmosphere feels warm and neighborly, especially with amenities to keep folks entertained or bring friends together. They allow pets if that's important, offer a mix of apartment sizes, and have a team who'll answer questions through an online form or help plan a visit. There's even an online newsletter for those who want updates on community news. The purpose here is to help older adults live with dignity and comfort, offering support that changes with each person's needs, and you'll often hear people say there's a real effort made to keep every resident connected, whether that's through meaningful activities, trips out, or just daily chats with staff and neighbors.
