Overview of Fellowship Square of Phoenix, a Christian Care Company

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.
