Frequently Asked Questions

Fellowship Square Tucson is a Christian Care Community and has been part of the organization for over 20 years. 

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

Assisted Living is ideal for seniors who need more support in their daily lives, but who do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. In Assisted Living, residents receive a higher level of care and increased support with their activities of daily living and a higher level of care than what is available in Independent Living.

In The Oasis Assisted Living, we provide two levels of Assisted Living services: Supervisory Care and Personal Care (also known as Level 1 and Level 2).
