"Compass on the bay has some great staff they took excellent care of my mom "Aunt Glo" with her memory issues. I never felt like she was ignored. The entertainment staff and food worked well for her. Its also not bad to sit out front on the porch with her in the summer and look at the water. Nice Facility"

Linda,
We absolutely love having your mom as a member of our community, and we are so glad that your family chose Compass on the Bay. Serving a vulnerable population during a pandemic was certainly challenging, but we were fortunate to have the support and kindness of our wonderful Compass families, including you and your siblings. We worked hard to ensure that we were regularly communicating updates through texts and letters, but it was the personal notes and calls that bolstered our team. Resident quality of life is truly our number one Right Value here at Compass on the Bay, and I am glad to hear that your experiences prove that. Thank you again for your kind words, and I look forward to speaking soon.
