Overview
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 Alzheimer’s 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 one’s overall well-being, sense of independence, personal dignity and enrichment.
Our innovative Compass programming sets a new course for people with Alzheimer’s and related cognitive impairments 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 and shared apartments, small-scale community rooms and easy access to outdoor garden spaces, which enhance residents’ confidence and feelings of autonomy.
Compass on the Bay is proud to be the first community in MA to receive the Purple Flag for Dementia Accreditation™️, which recognizes providers who have demonstrated adherence to 60 practice recommendations identified as essential and valuable for individuals living with dementia.

Compass on the Bay has been home away from home for my husband. When we arrived, we were greeted by the most compassionate staff who welcomed us with open arms. We were immediately put at ease, and I knew right then and there that we had made the best decision for his respite care stay. My husband enjoys everything Compass has to offer. He interacts with the staff like they are his own family. He enjoys every meal, and participates in the daily activities that keep him moving and his spirits up. My family and I are so grateful to Compass on the Bay for their love and support. If you are looking for a memory care assisted living facility for a loved one, this place is it. It truly is a very special place. I highly recommend it!

Compass on the Bay has stepped in to support our family in multiple dire moments of need. My mother has had multiple respite stays at Compass often with very little advanced notice. She has always enjoyed her stay at Compass. Importantly, Compass has always been very responsive and flexible in their respite stay arrangements. They have been able to find an open bed with less than 24 hours notice and extend my mom's stay for multiple weeks than originally planned. They are a wonderful home with wonderful employees.

Beautiful building with a great view of the bay and awesome audience at our Musical Ventriloquist performance today. Everyone recognized our Charlie McCarthy replica puppet. Special thanks to Erin, Mickey, and the super Activities Staff. The resident Brooks volunteered to wear our ventriloquist face mask to become our HUMAN DUMMY and sing a duet with Doug The Talking Dog. No, they did not sing together at the same time... I'm not that good!
