Caring for a family member or close friend is one of the most important—and complicated—roles you’ll play. It can happen suddenly, with an accident or illness, or it may start with driving your loved one to get groceries or going to the doctor. Later, you may find yourself taking more time off from work, preparing meals or handling their finances.

Whether you’re just beginning to anticipate a need or taking care of a family member full-time, this guide serves as a practical tool to make the process easier for both you and your loved one. It includes advice, resources and checklists to help you get organized and find support on your caregiving journey. Remember: Just take it one step at a time.

Resident Growth & Wellness Plans™

At Compass Senior Living, we put the person first. Our Growth and Wellness Plans™ shift the focus from traditional, institution-style care to a model centered on each resident’s strengths, preferences, dreams, and goals. Well-being is the ultimate measure of a fulfilling life, and our approach is designed to support it every day.

Rather than defining residents by diagnoses or limitations, we partner with each individual to identify opportunities for growth, connection, and meaningful engagement. By highlighting personal strengths and celebrating individuality, our plans guide the care and support residents need—within a culture of compassion, respect, and empowerment.

Wellness DOmains

At Compass Senior Living, we have the privilege of hearing the wisdom, humor, and small but meaningful stories from elders who have lived nearly a century. Each story—whether a cherished memory, a life lesson, or a moment of joy—offers a unique window into a life well-lived.

Through our simple process of capturing these stories, we create an enriching experience for both the storyteller and the listener. Residents share their adventures, challenges, and insights, forming deeper connections and preserving their legacy for generations to come—complete with voices, photos, and personal reflections.

The Tiny Stories™ Project has already preserved hundreds of stories told from our residents’ perspectives.

Circle of Friends™ is built on the fundamental human needs for connection, love, belonging, and purpose. In these gatherings, residents and care team members come together with a shared intention, guided by a facilitator.

Activities may include conversation, creative expression, cognitive exercises, music, goal setting, or community engagement—anything that fosters connection and engagement. At our core, we are social beings, and meaningful conversation is one of the most powerful ways to connect. Circle of Friends™ helps residents rediscover these connections, nurture relationships, and support overall well-being, especially as friends and loved ones may no longer be nearby.

The Compass Café offers an enhanced dining experience that complements our daily menu. Meals are thoughtfully designed to meet residents’ nutritional needs while providing variety and honoring personal preferences.

Menus are refreshed every 4–6 months to feature seasonal ingredients and community favorites, and special options are included for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The Compass Café blends tradition with innovation—bringing comfort, choice, and flavor to every meal.

Brain Boost Nutrition™ is one of our most popular programs, designed to support brain health through delicious, nutrient-rich foods. Research shows that diets rich in fruits and vegetables—packed with antioxidants—may help protect brain cells and support cognitive wellness.

At Compass, we believe everyone can benefit from these brain-friendly meals. By enjoying a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and wholesome ingredients, residents receive the nutrients that help promote overall brain health and wellness.
