Family Owned and Operated Since 1978
The Fellowship Family aspires to create senior living environments where people experience the gift of being seen, known, and heard; where people are inspired to live their best life, do their best work, and invest their resources for the best returns.
We are a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated provider of premier quality senior living services. Residents enjoy a home-like atmosphere, spacious living areas, access to concierge services, and various recreational and social amenities that enrich their quality of life. Our unique accommodations and grounds provide a second-to-none enhanced senior living experience. Our environments offer excellent opportunities to be connected to the people, amenities, and lifestyles that matter most.
The original location, Fellowship Home at Brookside, is on a piece of the LaHoods’ 400+ acre family farm. This senior living community was introduced as a new concept in 1978 by the LaHoods, who helped to pioneer a new era for the industry. Several generations of the family still live on the farm and play a vital role in the daily operation of the Fellowship Home communities. The embodiment of the LaHood legacy is evident in each of our communities. We exist to serve senior adults the same way we would want our own family to be served.
As the name Fellowship implies – this where residents, team members, and stakeholders are seen as family and known as a friend.
