Compass Memory Care in Ridgefield CT

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.  Learn more about our Compass Memory Support Philosophy

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.

Although there is no current treatment proven to cure Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, a growing body of scientific research shows a clear connection between specific foods and spices and overall brain health. We now know that “brain healthy” eating can provide protective body and brain health benefits for people of any age. That’s why we created our award-winning Brain Healthy Cooking program.

Care for the Caregiver: Consider a Short-Term Stay at Ridgefield Station


More than 15% of all adults in the United States provide unpaid care to a family member or friend who is age 50 or older (National Alliance for Caregiving, AARP). They are doing everything from grocery shopping and errands to preparing meals and managing finances. Caregiving can be a rewarding experience, but the negative effects of caregiver stress have been well documented. Studies have shown that stress causes irritability, sleeplessness, digestive problems, and it can cause and worsen chronic diseases.

A short term or respite stay at Ridgefield Station can give caregivers the break they need to de-stress and recharge. A few days off can make a world of difference. We offer short-term respite stays in both our Assisted Living and our Compass Memory Support Neighborhoods. Whether you need a weekend away for yourself or a recovery period after your loved one is discharged from a hospital stay, our unique “no minimum stay” policy gives the flexibility to fit any family’s needs. Call us at 203-403-0990 to learn more.
