The Butte, known also as Sapphire at The Butte, is a residential care facility located in Gresham, Oregon at 1250 Southeast Avenue Roberts, Multnomah County, administered by Rebecca Callahan. Sapphire At The Butte LLC owns the facility as a subsidiary of Sapphire Health Services, which operates fifteen communities. The facility has been in operation for approximately 46 years, with its license first issued December 15, 1979. Licensed capacity is 32 beds. Occupancy figures are not publicly available.
The Butte offers seven care types including assisted living, memory care, specialty services, home care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, hospice, and transitional independent living. A Nursing Aid Training Program operates on-site. Confirmed amenities include chef-prepared meals and daily snacks, social activities, personal care, medication assistance, transportation, and an emergency call system. Pet policy and inclusion of housekeeping, linen services, and utilities require verification during a facility tour.
The Oregon Agency of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities conducts unannounced inspections. Four inspections have been logged to date, with the most recent on November 4, last year. The facility accumulated 14 citations and 16 recorded deficiencies. Those are both below Oregon state averages of 27 and 31 respectively. No fines have been issued and no severe citations appear on record. The compliance record suggests performance better than state baseline standards.
The Butte suits families seeking residential care for residents with complex medical, behavioral, or physical needs who require assistance beyond standard independent living but do not require skilled nursing facility-level care. The 46-year operational history and below-average deficiency record indicate stability and consistent compliance. Families should ask administrators during a tour to verify occupancy trends, pet policies, specific services included in daily care, and the scope of specialty programming available for residents with behavioral or cognitive support needs.

Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on November 4, 2024, found deficiencies related to kitchen sanitation, including splatters, spills, debris, and an ice machine leak. Earlier inspections also noted issues with food sanitation and kitchen cleanliness, as well as multiple deficiencies involving resident service plans, monitoring of resident conditions, environmental maintenance, and safety precautions. Complaint investigations in March 2024 identified problems with resident services and documentation, leading to staff termination and audits, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated or addressed through corrective actions, and prior kitchen and environmental deficiencies were partially corrected by follow-up visits. The inspection history shows ongoing challenges with food sanitation and resident service documentation, with some improvement in environmental and safety issues over time.
