Overview of Fellowship Square of Phoenix, a Christian Care Company

Fellowship Square of Phoenix sits in Phoenix’s North Mountain Village neighborhood at 2002 W Sunnyside Ave, 46 years into operation and affiliated with Christian Care. The campus covers four levels: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care. HonorHealth John C. Lincoln Medical Center is 2.34 miles away. The Walk Score is 58, which is moderately walkable; some errands are reachable on foot, but a car handles most of the neighborhood’s geography.
Rehabilitation services are available on-site. The facility’s own overview also references occupational, speech, and physical therapy, along with post-surgical and post-hospital care. Memory care is on campus for residents living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
On the daily life side, the campus describes its dining as fresh, well-prepared food with multiple options. Activities listed in the facility’s overview include arts and crafts, film viewings, and religious programming.
Fellowship Square is not CMS-certified, which means Medicare and Medicaid are not in play here. Families will need to plan around private pay or explore Arizona’s state-level assistance programs.
For older adults in the north Phoenix area who want a faith-affiliated campus where care can shift across four levels without a change of address, from independent living through skilled nursing and memory care, Fellowship Square has held that position for over four decades.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Arizona

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arizona?

Assisted living in Arizona supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arizona?

Assisted living in Arizona is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover assisted living?

Arizona Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Arizona) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 561 assisted living facilities in Arizona. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Arizona?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arizona, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Arizona?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
