Hear What Our Clients Are Saying:
Memory Compass Services have been more helpful to me than my Neurologist, personal therapist, or even the Alzheimer's Association. Jessie evaluates your loved one and your situation, then "dials right in" and gives tangible advice on how to navigate all aspects of living with, and caring for your loved one, as well as eventually transitioning the living situation of one with dementia if needed. It's amazing how a little communication, understanding, and support go a long way to making this process more doable. Every person who is dealing with memory loss of a loved one should have access to these valuable services.

Who should be present for the Memory Loss Navigation consultations?Our Memory Loss Navigation Consultations are designed specifically for family members and care partners navigating the care of a loved one living with memory loss and cognitive decline. These consultations are aimed at providing support, education, and individualized guidance. These services complement the care you may already be receiving from support groups, elder law attorneys, or in-home companion care. The Memory Compass is here to be a special member of your "village" and care team. Our initial memory loss navigation consultations are held via phone or virtually across the US. The positive about modern technology is that multiple members can be in attendance across different states and time zones at once! We understand that family dynamics can be challenging for some. We take great care in the families that we work with by accommodating by having separate sessions between family members when needed. Are you interested in services specifically for your loved one?

How is Memory Loss Navigation support different from your Cognitive Wellness Plan?Our Cognitive Wellness Plan involves direct interaction with the individual living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's, dementia, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, lewy body dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Primary Progressive Aphasia, hearing loss or general aging. Our Cognitive Wellness Plan and our Memory Loss Navigation Consultations are a private pay service that is not covered by insurance. The frequency is determined together by the family and your consultant. Some families enjoy the benefit of having our Cognitive Wellness Services check in on their loved one weekly, monthly, or quarterly to monitor home safety and cognitive status. Other families enjoy having their loved one as part of our Cognitive Wellness Plan receiving weekly or bi-weekly cognitive stimulation sessions! Memory Loss Navigation Consultations are provided on an as-needed basis and the sessions are with the care partners and family, not the individual living with dementia. Some care partners choose to meet bi-weekly for 1:1 counseling, support, and individualized recommendations regarding challenges that arise while others choose to meet monthly or on an as needed basis. The Memory Compass is here when you need us! We will help you design a plan that fits your needs.
