We value the strong connections we have within South Boston and our neighboring communities, including all of the neighborhoods of Boston and Quincy, as well as the cities and towns of the South Shore:

• Boston Center for Memory
• Boston AgeStrong Commission
• Milton Council on Aging
• Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
• Carney Hospital

At Compass on The Bay, we believe that with our expertise comes a responsibility to educate families, professionals and the general public on all things related to cognitive impairment, and to actively fight the stigma of dementia through our Dementia Friendly Communities initiative. We are currently working with the following groups and organizations to help build Dementia-Friendly Communities:

• City of Quincy
• Boston University School of Medicine
• Quincy Council on Aging
• Simmons School of Nursing and Health Sciences
• Boston Senior Home Care
• McCall Ambulance Service
• State Street
• Tribute Home Care
• South Boston Neighborhood House
• South Boston Public Library
• Weymouth High School

We’ve been working with the City of Boston’s Alzheimer’s Initiative to bring the Dementia Experience to city employees, and have provided trainings and training materials to leadership groups including the city’s Long Term Care Task Force and Senior Companions caregivers program.
