The Compass Memory Care

Embrace Respect Honor

The individuality of every resident’s unique journey through memory care.

Welcome!

TO A NEW DIRECTION IN MEMORY CARE

New Directions, Vantage Point Retirement Living’s exclusive memory care program, offers those with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias a totally new perspective on memory care. The program focuses on evidence-and research-based programming that is backed by an understanding, consistent and supportive team.

New Directions is provided within The Compass Memory Care, which are neighborhoods specially designed to provide safe, secure environments that promote a sense of belonging and purpose.

"DISCOVER A NEW DIRECTION IN MEMORY CARE" IS THE MOTTO WE LIVE BY, WITH FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE US EVERY DAY.

D IGNITY :

Maintaining a resident’s dignity is central to everything we do.

I NDIVIDUALIZED :

Recognizing that every resident is on their own unique journey, our care and programs are specifically tailored to their cognitive abilities and strengths.

S PACE AND PACE :

The extent of participation in activities and daily life at the community are unique to every resident. What works for one resident may not work for another.

C HOICE :

Here we embrace and respect every resident’s freedom of choice, especially when the answer is ‘no.’ When offered choice, residents feel empowered, respected, and valued.

O PPORTUNITY :

Each day is an opportunity for residents to still do the things they love.

V ALUE :

All residents deserve to feel they add value to the daily lives around them - in the lives of fellow residents, team members, and loved ones.

E XPERIENCES : We don’t offer activities...we offer experiences designed to give each day meaning.

R ESPECT:

We respect the wishes and feelings of residents and loved ones at all times.

A NEIGHBORHOOD PURPOSEFULLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND SCIENTIFICALLY DESIGNED

From the time you walk through our doors, you’ll experience a community that is thoughtfully designed through every inch. Using neuroscience - and sociology - based research from experts in the field, our neighborhoods are designed to directly reduce the strength and frequency of symptoms attributed to Alzheimer’s, such as agitation and anxiety.

The use of evidence-based design principles enables us to offer residents a higher quality of life by providing a living environment with:

• A comfortable and familiar homelike setting

• Centrally located activity centers

• Beautifully landscaped, secure outdoor space with serene gardens and walking areas

• Lifestyle and learning stations

• Natural versus artificial lighting

• An inviting, family-style lounge for socializing and visits with family and friends

Our Itinerary

OR LACK THEREOF!

RESIDENTS CHART THEIR OWN COURSE

Every day is as unique as the fingerprints of our residents. Our approach to our programming provides residents with an engaging and meaningful activity program specifically tailored to their cognitive abilities and strengths. Our innovative approach is personalized based on specifi c needs and includes everything from proper nutrition and a general fitness program to sensory stimulation exercises, recreational outings and time for learning and cultural activities.

It’s something we like to call “structured fluidity” where we build programming that will benefit residents’ holistic wellness, but offer choice and honor individuality.

Our Philosophy

In The Compass Memory Care, family is the foundation of everything we do. As part of a family-owned organization, these values extend from how we hire and train our team members, to how we engage with residents and support their loved ones. It’s the thread that connects every fiber of life in the neighborhood.

Our New Directions program reflects the culmination of over 25 years of passion & experience in memory care. Each detail of daily experience for our residents has been thoughtfully developed to elicit the highest quality of life, no matter where they may be in their journey through memory loss.

Here, we believe that when team members and loved ones work together, the highest quality of life is achieved for residents. As one unit, these three components create a family-like support system that enable each individual to thrive, excel, and to do their best for each other – just like family.

Our Commitment Your Family

Coping with memory loss is one of the hardest things you’ll ever experience, whether the sufferer or the family member. Days can be challenging and exhausting, and they will still be at times even when your loved one moves to The Compass Memory Care. But days will also be rewarding and fulfilling. At Compass, we don’t believe in sharing our philosophy with rose colored glasses. Memory impairment is very real, very challenging, very hard, but also very rewarding. At Compass, we can only strive to provide you and your loved one with more good days than bad days.

WE’RE COMMITTED TO:

• Transparency and being your loved one’s advocate.

• Making sure caregivers receive the support they need.

• Improving relationships between residents and loved ones.

• Being the best we can be, so we can be the best for those we serve.
