Nursing Support
Compass, Inc. nursing services supports people in achieving their best possible health. For those whose wellness needs can benefit from nursing support, Compass provides this service as an integrated part of their overall program. Nurses visit people in their homes periodically, perform routine assessments such as vital signs and system reviews, and provide education and advice to address health concerns as they arise. Our nurses also train and supervise direct support staff and medication technicians, review health records, assist with medication management, manage appointments and follow-ups, consult with physicians, and assess safety and environmental needs. Each person’s nurse is an integral part of their support team, ensuring health care is personalized and effective for the long term. Compass is proud of the experience and dedication of our nursing staff, with some team members supporting our programs for over 15 years!
