A Letter From The CEO
We have assembled our emergency preparedness and operations teams and detailed plans for every area of the campus are being reviewed and put in place.
Abusive Behavior
While the communal-living nature of a Life Plan Community can greatly enhance the quality of life through positive interaction, activities and a broad social circle, it can also open the door for the formation of exclusive cliques and a wide variety of bullying behaviors.
Check Your Ego at the Door
Although it was new to me, it turns out that “Check your ego at the door” is a common saying around gyms and in business as well.
Upcoming Spiritual Life Events

The New AZ Travel ID
Success Matters will be hosting a Travel ID Application Workshop on March 17th at 10:00AM in Agelink 3 where we will provide you with the Travel ID application.
Resident Assistance Fund
Whether you have a one-time expense or need monthly assistance, the Resident Assistance Fund can provide support in the form of a scholarship to qualified residents so they can continue to live and thrive at Beatitudes Campus.
Staying Engaged
As more and more residents have smart phones and tablets, it will be easier to communicate to each other and stay away from isolation which is said to be more damaging to humans than smoking 15 cigarettes per day.
Friendships Can Make History
As we begin to welcome more than fifty new campus residents as the patio homes move ins occur over the next few months, I encourage you to extend that special Beatitudes welcome to help them discover these treasures of the campus.

Off the Beaten Path
Our campus has many wonderful gems that may go undetected depending upon your daily path.
The Dawn of a New Decade
As we enter this New Year, it almost begs us to see more clearly. I feel a sense of urgency to get things in order and set my intentions for the year and decade ahead.
Planting the Seeds of Peace
Finding consensus and compromise around a contentious issue, and then moving forward in agreement and harmony is both a skill and an art.
Pet Ownership: It Can Be a S****Y Job!
Have you ever stepped in dog poop? It’s a horrible, squishy sensation, typically accompanied by malodors and great difficulty to clean one’s shoe.
What Was So Wise About The Magi?
Last night my wife and I were preparing to pack away the Christmas decorations for another year, and once again we were completely baffled as to how we were supposed to fit a large sprawling tree into such a seemingly small box.
Managing Life’s Aches and Pains
Lifestyle practices and pain management strategies, such as exercise, postural adjustments, meditation and relaxation techniques, stretching, and modalities like heat and ice, have all been shown to reduce pain and improve one’s ability to comfortably participate in daily activities.
