Buckwald’s Sunday Morning Dining Experience is Moving

One of our greatest responsibilities as staff serving you is to be the best stewards possible of our resources.  Every few months we analyze our systems and costs looking for inefficiencies and waste.  If discovered, we aim to take immediate action to quickly minimize its impact.  We have watched for some time the lower participation in our Sunday dining option at Buckwald's Arizona Grille.  In that the low attendance simply does not justify the labor and food costs, we have made the decision to realign our Sunday experience Campus-wide.  Beginning in March, we will close Buckwald's on Sundays, but Sundays will still be offering you great options.

Our intention is to continue a once-monthly Sunday Brunch in Elaine's Fine Dining.  The new design will not include a buffet, but rather a delicious menu enticing you to want to bring friends and family for this special experience.  Should we see this become as popular as we believe it will be, we will expand the number of Sundays.  If the day comes that we are busting at the seams for Sunday brunch, we will absolutely revisit expanding back to Buckwald's.  Again, our goal is to balance costs with the greatest dining experiences possible.

We will be closed effective March 10, 2019 on Sundays.

I am grateful to our Dining services Team for their continuous commitment to providing the best dining experiences and options with the most efficient use of our resources.

At the foundation of Beatitudes Campus is the vision of Church of the Beatitudes pastors and congregation members to create a better alternative for older adults than the nursing homes of the early 1960s. The type of community they imagined was the first of its kind in Arizona. Beatitudes Campus is proud to continue the legacy of our founders, by being a leader in the field of aging services for over 50 years.
