Beehive Homes of Buffalo is focused on providing a safe, healthy, and family like environment for all of our Bee Hive Homes residents

At Bee Hive assisted living homes in Buffalo, Wyoming our goal is to always provide superior care to our residents. Beehive Homes of Buffalo offers a smaller home, with 12-16 rooms, for a homier more comfortable atmosphere, yet having plenty of privacy for our residents. We have family style living with a large open dining room and living room so our residents can have plenty of contact with other residents and our caregivers.  We are very proud to offer an atmosphere in our home that allows for relationships to grow and develop between residents and staff. 

Hi my name is Josh Burlage and I own BeeHive Homes in Columbia Falls with my wife Jesse.  It's a great community, a great town.  It's just a very homelike environment.  We are just set in the most beautiful setting here and we like to take full advantage of that.  We have a bus that accommodates our residents.  So one of the things that's fun that we like to do on a given nice day here is haul all the residents in the bus and load up and go to Glacier National Park where there is just majestic beauty all around.  We just really kind of leave it up to the residents what they want to do.  We were hoping to exercise a couple days a week and they decided to do six days a week so we actually have exercise every morning for about 15-20 minutes.  The current home is a 13 unit home with the potential of 15 residents.  Our second home will be a 16 unit home.  With residents that have Dementia and Alzheimer's, the small staff is also a unique aspect that is very helpful and a home environment for them.  A lot of times what family and the residents want is to be in an environment that's fun, their going to feel loved and cared for and I really feel like with our small setting here that residents don't get lost in a crowd.   That we're able to look at those small things that they like.  And make that a part of of what happens on a daily basis.  We have a great collage of residents that make this home very happy and spirited.  I think one of the biggest blessings is they keep track of my medication so I don't have to worry about it.   All my basic needs, I don't have to do it alone.  The atmosphere is home, I'm so thankful for a place that's comfortable.  We seem to be a family almost immediately.  It's been an absolute answer to prayer.  My name is Tommy Peterson and I'm a personal care attendant.  To be a caretaker for me, it's just, it's my life.  I have a large family and I love taking care of people in every way shape and form and I'm at home.  It's home, it's where I belong.  
I watched my grandfather die in a nursing home.  He worked his whole life, worked very hard, owned a business, was very successful and I just felt like he worked his whole life for what to lay in a bed and die.  I just felt like we can do better for our seniors.  We need to do better for our seniors.  So I started to look and do some research to try to find a place that was more of a family setting, more family oriented and ran across BeeHive and it fit the mold perfectly.  Exactly what we were looking for and here we are.  This is definitely a place that I would love, for my grandfather to have been able to be in.
