Our Care Programmes
Three distinct pathways of support — each shaped around the needs and rhythms of the people we serve.
Back to HomeOur Approach to Care
At Compass, every programme begins with a careful assessment. Before a resident moves in or a family books their first respite stay, our nursing team sits down with everyone involved — the person receiving care, their family, and any existing healthcare providers — to understand what is needed and what matters most.
From there, we build a care plan that covers medical support, daily routines, dietary needs, and emotional wellbeing. These plans are living documents: they evolve as the person's circumstances change, and they are formally reviewed every quarter. Our staff are trained to observe, communicate, and respond with sensitivity — not just to clinical needs, but to the small things that make each day feel more comfortable and more personal.
Guided Nursing Residence
A full-time residential programme offering round-the-clock nursing care within a thoughtfully designed living environment. Each resident receives an individualised support plan covering personal hygiene, nutrition, mobility, chronic condition management, and emotional wellbeing.
- Registered nurses and certified care aides on every shift
- Living spaces with natural lighting and personal display areas
- Weekly movie afternoons, music sessions, and community meals
- Family members welcome to join meals and activities at any time
Typical process: Initial assessment → care plan creation → gradual settling-in period → ongoing quarterly reviews
Planned Respite Stay
A scheduled short-term residential service for families who wish to plan regular breaks from caregiving duties. Bookings are available in increments of one to four weeks and can be arranged on a recurring basis — for instance, one week every two months.
- Flexible booking from one to four weeks
- Personalised care brief established on first visit
- All meals, personal care, and daily activities included
- Recurring schedules for sustained caregiver wellbeing
Typical process: Family enquiry → care brief discussion → first stay → review and feedback → recurring booking
Music & Memory Day Programme
A specialised daytime programme that uses music as a pathway to emotional connection, memory engagement, and joy. Sessions are led by a trained music therapist and include group sing-alongs, instrument exploration, music-guided movement, and personalised playlist listening.
- Three-hour sessions led by a trained music therapist
- Group and individual activities with refreshments
- Families invited to share meaningful playlists
- Gentle, informal atmosphere — participate at your own pace
Typical process: Family consultation → playlist sharing → trial session → monthly enrolment
