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.

Sagewood

4555 E Mayo Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85050
Overview of Sagewood

Sagewood sits in Phoenix’s Desert Ridge West neighborhood, a car-dependent pocket of the city (Walk Score 12) where the nearest errands are a drive away. The three-story building has been here for 20 years, operated by LCS Desert Ridge LLC under the LCS brand, and it covers a lot of ground: independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home care all under one roof at 4555 E Mayo Blvd. Executive Director Mr. Stewart Ingram oversees the campus.

What Sagewood is selling, functionally, is the ability to age in place without switching facilities. Care levels are available across the full spectrum, so a resident who moves in for independent living can shift to skilled nursing without packing up and starting over somewhere else. Short-term rehab and respite stays are also on offer, which makes the campus useful for families navigating post-acute recovery or caregiver breaks. Memory care is available with a secured perimeter in place.

The programming side runs through LCS Signature Programs, including the LifeCare plan and the HealthyLife wellness track, the latter built around fitness, nutrition, and general well-being. In terms of physical amenities, the campus includes a fitness center, a spa, walking paths, a wellness center, and concierge services, with religious services also available. Apartment options span one- and two-bedroom layouts, with square footage ranging from roughly 763 to over 2,300 square feet.

Sagewood is not currently listed as a CMS-certified Medicare or Medicaid provider. Families planning around federal coverage pathways will need to look elsewhere or explore Arizona’s state-level assistance programs independently.

For older adults who want a tiered campus where care can follow them across multiple stages, with branded programming and substantial apartment options, Sagewood covers that range. The non-certification status and car-dependent location are the two variables most families will want to factor in early.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover memory care?

Arizona Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 345 memory care communities in Arizona. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care 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 memory care 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. 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.
