Dear Quail Creek Residents,

As we continue reopening our facilities gradually, we appreciate the support of both residents and staff to follow safety protocols and processes and adjust to a new normal.

Concierge Desk and Administration Offices Closed Memorial Day

Please note that the Administration Offices and Concierge Desk will be closed on Monday, May 25 ^th in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.

Stick around for the 10:30 AM cruise by the Santa Cruz Valley Car Nuts. They will cruise in from the front gate and around the loop to show off their classic cars. Give a shout and a wave as they cruise on by!

Food and Beverage Operations

The Grill had a surprise visit by a Pima County Health Inspector on Wednesday, May 20 ^th . Pima County is making the rounds to restaurants to review new guidelines implemented for restaurants in Pima County. The inspector was impressed to note that the Grill has already implemented all 17 measures related to COVID-19. The protective measures include limiting indoor occupancy to 50% or lower, minimum of 6 feet between tables, the use of cloth masks, signage posted at the entrance, single-use menus, and hand sanitizers available at the entrance, restrooms and employee work areas as well as sanitizing customer areas after each sitting plus other measures. Our F&B staff has adjusted quickly to these new regulations and is working hard to keep residents and staff safe and well. See Grill Guidelines .

Memorial Day is coming up on Monday, May 25 ^th and Chef Aris has created a Memorial Day Menu for the occasion. Choose a Red, White and Blue Salad, Hot Dog, Memorial Burger, Smoked Pork Ribs, Smoked Tri Tip, among other choices! Our regular menu is not available on Memorial Day.
