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.

How do I choose the right independent living community 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 independent living communities 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.
