Twin Buttes Elder Car Facility – Twin Buttes, ND

ML Architects is working directly with MHA Nation South Segment Councilman Cory Spotted Bear on his unique vision for the Twin Buttes Elder Care Campus. Mr. Spotted Bear’s goal is to bring tribal elders’ home to the Twin Buttes area and allow them to age in place by providing a full range of care services in a multi-phase Continuum of Care Retirement Campus (CCRC). The long-term master plan begins with the assisted living basic care facility and will expand to include separate independent living twin-homes, a skilled nursing facility with medical recovery and memory care services.

The Phase-1 Assisted Living Facility is a single story, 17,650 SF congregate home located on the new 24-acre campus site just east of the community center in Twin Buttes, ND. Living accommodations include ADA accessible studio style apartments along with one bedroom and 2 two-bedroom units, each with full kitchens. The program offers a variety of community gathering spaces such as a central dining area, a commercial kitchen, a circular social commons area, an on-site beauty salon, in-house laundry, a dedicated hotel style guest room for visiting families, and an enclosed parking garage for residents. The resident garage and apartment wing is designed for future expansion. Design completion and construction start is expected by mid-spring 2022. The Owner anticipates a July 2023 Grand Opening.
