Frequently Asked Questions

Fellowship Square Phoenix is part of Christian Care Companies. 

Christian Care was founded in 1979 by a group of devoted Christians who recognized an opportunity to minister to Arizona seniors by offering affordable nursing care. Realizing this need, they formed a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and named it Christian Care.

Christian Care Health Center was the first to open its doors in 1980. The Phoenix campus continued to grow, ultimately providing a full continuum of senior living options: independent living, assisted living, subsidized senior housing, skilled nursing, memory care, and healthcare services.

Today, Christian Care operates six retirement communities across the state of Arizona: Cottonwood, Historic Mesa, Phoenix, Mesa, Surprise, and Tucson.  

Fellowship Square Phoenix stands apart from other senior living and continuing care retirement communities because of our nonprofit mission, faith-based values, and long-standing commitment to serving older adults. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we are driven by our Mission, Vision, and Values statements:

Our Mission

Through Christian love and excellence, we are dedicated to providing a fulfilling lifestyle and promoting independence to those we serve. 

Our Vision

A world where people thrive and live with purpose.

Our Values

We believe in the immeasurable value of every person. Empowered by Christ’s love, we joyfully serve with humility, integrity, compassion, and respect.

A Full Continuum of Senior Living, With No Entrance Fees

Unlike other continuing care retirement communities, our residents do not have to pay a hefty entrance fee upon move-in. Instead, they pay a one-time Community Fee and Security Deposit. From there, they simply pay a monthly rate which covers their apartment and a wide range of services and amenities. 

Our residents enjoy a vibrant, welcoming retirement community and a team that genuinely cares about their well-being. You’ll feel the difference the moment you step onto our campus.

Independent Living is for seniors who want freedom, flexibility, and a social lifestyle without the burdens of homeownership, such as maintenance, housekeeping, and cooking.

Assisted Living is ideal for those who need more support in their day-to-day lives but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Residents receive increased assistance with their daily living activities and a higher level of care than what is available in independent living.

Please visit our Levels of Care Explained page to learn more about the different levels of senior living and the services provided.

We offer a full continuum of senior living care to meet a variety of needs. These include independent living, assisted living, a secure memory care neighborhood, and HUD-subsidized senior housing. Each level of care is tailored to help residents thrive while honoring their independence.

When seniors begin thinking about moving into senior living, cost is undoubtedly one of the first questions that come to mind.

When comparing the monthly rent in a retirement community to the cost of your current living situation, it’s essential to consider the added value of all the services and amenities included. At most senior living communities, monthly rent includes a meal plan and covers maintenance, landscaping, and housekeeping services.

At Christian Care/Fellowship Square Phoenix, we offer several senior living options to meet a variety of budgets and needs. To learn more about these options, their costs, and financial assistance, please select one of the options below.

Our Resident Experience and Activities teams pour their creativity into planning events that are anything but boring! Every month brings a fresh lineup of events that spark joy, connection, and a little bit of adventure for everyone.

From fitness classes, arts and crafts, live music, and Bible studies to off-campus outings, educational talks, and themed parties, there’s always something happening!

Residents are encouraged (but never pressured) to join in, and we love getting their input to shape the calendar. Whether you're a social butterfly or more of a small group kind of person, there’s something for everyone.

Many seniors worry about this when considering a move to a retirement community. They worry that they will be giving up their freedom, being limited by rules and restrictions, or being required to participate in activities. In fact, the opposite is true.

Our residents find that the convenience and support of available services allow them greater independence and freedom. Services such as housekeeping, transportation, and maintenance relieve them of a 'to-do' list, so they have more time to enjoy the things they want to do. Fellowship Square's Activities Team is truly dedicated to keeping our activities calendar fresh and inspiring.

Our residents feel encouraged to be themselves and enjoy each day as they choose. Whether they spend the day at home reading a good book or filling their day with planned activities, it's their call.
