Meet The Staff

Kathy Kea
Howdy! My name is Kathy Kea. I am the Resident Services Coordinator. My duties include supervising our dedicated staff of certified caregivers. My team and I strive to offer non-medical services to our residents allowing and enriching their lives as they age in place. My staff does everything from walking dogs to laundry services. We help with those "little extras" that allow our residents the opportunity to remain in an independent life style.

I was born and raised in North Dakota with 7 siblings! I relocated to Tucson in 1974 where I married and raised 2 beautiful children. I am a licensed practical nurse. My experience includes doctor's office, skilled nursing and assisted living. I joined the Fellowship Square team in June of 2005. I love the daily challenge of our seniors. Their unique stories warm my heart.

I feel blessed to work with our Christian Care Staff. Our supervisory staff strives to accomadate our residents with understanding, respect and compassion. I am very excited about our up coming Assisted Living and I look forward to assisting our residents as they transition to a higher level of care and remain at Fellowship Square.

Come visit out campus and see the difference we can make in your life! Have a blessed day!

Brian Helmbrecht
Hello! My name is Brian Helmbrecht and I am the Dining Room Manager here at Fellowship Square Tucson. My responsibilities include providing the highest quality customer service and training of our wonderful service staff. I also work side by side with an outstanding kitchen staff to provide excellent menu options. We also work with our other departments on special events such as live music and themed dinner parties.

I received my culinary and restaurant management degree from the Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts, located in Pittsburgh, PA. I have been a manager for over eleven years; seven of those years involved retirement communities. I found my passion working with the elderly at a young age. My father has been a licensed Administrator for over 15 years, and included me in many resident activities.

I have been with Fellowship Square Tucson since 2006 and enjoy working with such a compassionate group of people. I look forward to you joining us, and making Fellowship Square Tucson your new home.
