City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Description of bed or unit types offered (e.g. assisted living, memory care), as reported in state or facility disclosures.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
A named contact for the facility. Hover the name to see their role — Administrator (state administrator of record or facility-provided administrator), Nursing Director, Medical Director, or Staff. The most authoritative available is shown.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Total count of deficiencies (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of deficiencies this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total deficiencies ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Overview of Fellowship Square-Mesa

Fellowship Square-Mesa has been part of Mesa, Arizona since January 1999, which puts it at 46 years of continuous operation, a genuinely long track record in this field. It’s a 59-bed, faith-based community at 6945 E Main St, run by administrator Jon S Williams with Najwa Medawar as Campus Administrator.

What sets this place apart is how many levels of care exist under one roof. Directed care covers up to 42 residents, personal care covers another 17, and the community also offers supervisory care, ALTCS assisted living, rehabilitation therapy, and home care. A resident’s needs rarely stay static, and this structure means care can shift without a family having to find an entirely new facility.

Units run one and two bedrooms, from 667 up to 1,048 square feet. The Walk Score sits at 56, moderately walkable, and Banner Baywood Medical Center is barely a half mile away, about as close as hospital access gets.

Daily life includes recreational and educational programming, tech support, transportation, and fitness activities, plus customized dining and a care team that includes rehabilitation services and licensed nursing staff.

On the regulatory side, inspections here have tended to focus on care planning and documentation, the kind of administrative area regulators commonly review at communities offering multiple care levels like this one.

Forty-six years of history, five distinct levels of care, and a hospital practically next door: this is a community built for genuine continuity, one where a resident’s care can evolve without forcing a move somewhere new.
