About Compass on the Bay

Formerly The BayView, Compass on the Bay is one of the few communities in the Boston area dedicated exclusively to those with memory loss and dementia. Our state-of-the-art Memory Support Assisted Living community offers research-based treatment programming for those with varying levels of memory loss, from Mild Cognitive Impairment to diagnosed Alzheimers disease. We focus on the whole person, not just their basic physical or cognitive needs. Our method is to individualize a plan of care for each resident, providing just the right combination of services and programming to optimize your loved ones overall well-being, sense of independence, personal dignity and enrichment. You can have peace of mind knowing we are committed to your loved ones quality of life as our number one priority.

Our innovative Compass programming sets a new course for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimers disease and/or related dementia by actually treating the symptoms of their memory illness. Compass puts cutting-edge research into action through social engagement, lifelong learning, physical fitness, the arts, and our award-winning Brain Healthy Cooking Program.

Our community is designed like home with private apartments, small-scale community rooms and easy access to outdoor garden spaces, which enhance residents confidence and feelings of autonomy as they move about freely. Other features incorporate the latest research on environmental design for those with memory impairment, including bright lighting, unobtrusive security systems and designated programming spaces.
