Reconnections for those with Alzheimer’s and Dementia
The primary goal of our secure Compass Memory Support Neighborhood® is to ensure that the ‘whole person’ is recognized and celebrated, and not be defined by their diagnosis. We do this in a number of ways and through a variety of programs, including Reconnections, a unique curriculum-based program where residents are immersed in a new topic each week.

Our highly trained team is focused on providing dignified care, individualized services, a full calendar of structured, socially engaging activities, and a brain-boosting dining program. At the core of Compass is a belief in treating the symptoms of dementia with unique programming, rather than relying on medication.
