The reviews present a mixed picture of Compass on the Bay, a memory care facility. Many reviewers praise the facility for its warm, welcoming environment and exceptional staff, who are described as caring, attentive, and professional. Families appreciate the personalized care and the community's efforts to engage residents in activities, which have helped their loved ones adjust and thrive. The facility is noted for its beautiful, home-like setting, with some residents enjoying views of the bay and outdoor spaces. The management team, particularly Lindsay Willis, receives commendations for their compassion and support for both residents and their families. However, not all feedback is positive. One reviewer expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of activities and engagement for residents, as well as the management's rude response to inquiries. Concerns about the high cost relative to the services provided were also mentioned. Despite these criticisms, many families feel at peace knowing their loved ones are well cared for, and they appreciate the smaller, more intimate setting that allows for personal connections between staff and residents.
