Best Independent Living in Arkansas

Overview of Butterfield Trail Village

Butterfield Trail Village is located in Fayetteville, AR, and it operates as a CCRC. You have independent living, assisted living, nursing home services, and skilled nursing all located on a single campus.

Independent living gives you your personal space and the community’s amenities, with no one providing daily assistance for you.
