Compass on the Bay

At Heights Crossing, weve mastered the art of living well! We offer the highest quality Assisted Living and a state-of-the-art Compass Memory Support Neighborhood. We work hard to make every corner of the residence feel like your home, including our common areas. Weve designed for gracious country living inside and out, including beautiful landscaping, courtyards, balconies and patios for private gatherings. Indoors, there are lots of homey nooks for reading, visiting or relaxing, including our library with a gas fireplace. The pub has another great fireplace and a large high-definition TV. Its a popular place to watch a ball game and enjoy a cup of coffee. And our piano lounge area has proven to be a great gathering spot with friends before mealtime.With a full range of social events and activities, theres always something going on. That includes movies every night in our cinema (both first-run and timeless classics), lectures and educational programs in our Arts and Media center, daily fitness classes, art classes, book clubs, and card games, plus live entertainment almost every week in the lounge. Not to mention wireless Internet access, high-definition televisions and Wii interactive video games in our lounges. The hardest part is choosing what to do first! Heights Crossing hosts several special events throughout the year including our annual Antique Auto Show and frequent barbecues. The Mayors Summer Concert Series and our Casino Nights are resident favorites.

We hire staff people that truly become interwoven into the fabric of the neighborhood. With this high standard, the residents of Olmsted Place experience great care and compassion everyday. We work each day to create a neighborhood where people living with memory loss can experience ways to reconnect with a sense of purpose and well being. By keeping minds active we can help people recognize they have special purposes and reduce their experience of stress and failure. Families are helped to find ways to maximize their relationship with the person with memory loss.
