The Butte
Assisted Living & Residential Care · Gresham, OR
Less than a mile from Gresham’s city center, The Butte occupies a residential care building on SE Roberts Ave in Multnomah County, Oregon. The 32-bed facility has been in operation for 46 years, operated today by Sapphire At The Butte LLC under administrator Rebecca Callahan. The neighborhood scores a 47 on the Walk Score scale, which means some errands are walkable and most aren’t, though the facility provides its own transportation to fill the gap.
The service profile here is wider than the bed count suggests. Licensed nurses and CNAs work around the clock, and the care menu runs from standard assisted living and respite care through skilled nursing and rehabilitation, hospice, specialty care, home care, and transitional independent living. Personal care and medication support are built into the daily structure. For families who want to avoid moving a resident as needs change, the range of services on offer is worth noting.
One distinctive feature: The Butte runs an on-site Nursing Assistant Training Program, which means the facility actively trains and credentials its own CNAs rather than relying entirely on outside hiring.
Chef-prepared meals and daily snacks are provided. Social activities are scheduled, and an emergency call system is in place throughout the building.
State inspections have focused on staffing and credentials, environmental safety, documentation and care planning, dietary services, and housekeeping as recurring regulatory themes.
At 46 years and counting, The Butte brings real institutional depth to residential care in Gresham, with a service range and in-house training program that set it apart from smaller, narrower facilities.
