I would not recommend Compass on the Bay for care. I recently Visited and noticed that residents were just sitting doing nothing. There were no events or any engagements going on. Management was rude when i asked what the activities for the day were. Location was nice. But im not sure for the over expensive price that i would want my mom just sitting doing nothing all day. So we will be looking at other communities.

Spoke with Matt. Like their approach on diet, holistic, activities what they used to do to re-engage the brain. Do an off site activity once a week. 28 residents in memory household. Still have geriatric care. Has PACE and they tailor a program called PACE Plus where it's a combination of subsidy and private pay. Does not have an immediate availability. Possiably within 20-45 days

We are very very happy with it. She struggled at first with the move, but they worked really well with her, and have been very patient. They really seem to understand the dementia population. They have plenty of activities, and they will go and get her because they know she enjoys them. The food is good, no complaints there. We like that it's smaller than a lot of others, not institutional feeling, we liked the homey environment.

My father in law has been at Compass on the Bay for a bit over a year. IT was not an easy decision to place his in a care facility, as he is getting up in age and needs some assistance with day to day living, but is also independent. At Compass on the Bay, they encourage him to exercise, socialize and do as much for himself as possible, but are also there is assist for anything. The activities are a bit hit or miss, as they have to appeal to the whole group, but he does enjoy the daily exercise, the social gathering and of course, meal time. We are very pleased with the staff and care, they are like an extended family! The facility is beautiful, with a beautiful porch and view of the bay, and it really does have a "home like" feel - and doesn't feel like an institution at all. It is very sad when a loved one needs more care than you can provide, but we really feel like we made the right choice with Compass on the Bay.

Things are going very well for our loved one here! She's still mentally on the ball, and they've got a lot of things for her to do here. She's engaging with the other residents and smiling and laughing with them! She treats all the staff very well, and they treat her well in return! She's not crazy about the dinner selection, though. She is in the nicest room, too! She has views of the bay, and when the weather gets nice, she will be able to see all the bicyclists and dog walkers outside. Most importantly, she came from a big community where it was easy to get overwhelmed and lock herself in her room. Now that she's in a smaller setting, she's able to join in on the activities, like exercises, BINGO, and sing-a-longs, and is able to interact more with others! We've seen a real improvement since she's moved here!

Our initial contact with the community was Lindsay Willis. Exec. Dir. I doubt a more warm, caring, compassionate person exists in this universe--or any other. Care for our memory-impaired, elderly mother was expected. We got that and so much more. Lindsay has shown empathy, too, for family members, sincerely concerned with our well-being, also. A decision to place a loved one in the care of Ms. Willis & her staff would be a wise investment, both in terms of the dedicated care your family member would receive as well as the support offered to families unable to provide the necessary care, support, safety needed by one immersed in the depths of the Alzheimer's abyss.

I can't say enough good things about them. They bent over backwards to help us. They had everybody out trying to help us. They worked very hard to make her comfortable, and worked with us to keep the room available when things went differently than planned.

So far we're very happy with this community. We wanted a smaller sized community so that Dad and the staff could get to know each other more personally, learn names, etc. So far the staff have been great, very friendly and personable. There's a bit of room for improvement when it comes to some of the smaller details, and the food could always be better. But overall we're very pleased, and Dad seems well taken care of.

Took this tour and liked this very much. May still be a possibility for dementia care. Would like to get something closer if possible.

We chose this community because its location was very convenient for our family. The staff was really great. They have a memory care unit that we liked. A big factor in our search was to keep it within our budget and this community provided us with what we need for the budget we had.
