Care Compass

One broad question at a time can organize what is changing and point toward a practical conversation to begin.

How the Compass works

From broad questions to a practical starting conversation

One broad question at a time can organize what is changing for a family considering support in Broward, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, and Martin Counties, plus Aventura and northeast Miami-Dade.

The result is educational. It does not diagnose, determine eligibility, replace a professional assessment, or require you to send contact information.

  1. 1

    Question

    Describe the current situation

    Who you are planning for, where you are coordinating from, and the current setting.

  2. 2

    Notice

    Notice timing and daily patterns

    Broad timing, direction, and ordinary-day observations without diagnoses or records.

  3. 3

    Context

    Add planning context

    General resource and benefits categories that may shape questions for the next conversation.

  4. 4

    Review

    Review possible starting conversations

    A practical first path to consider, with other routes still available to you.

The path opens into options

Possible starting conversations

  • Senior-Living Placement

    When a move or time-sensitive search is the clearest direction.

  • $500 USD Consultation

    When the next decision or family questions still need structure.

  • Care Management

    A Care Management conversation when ongoing nonclinical coordination may be useful.

Step 1 of 4

Your situation

Step 1

Your situation

Begin with who you are planning for and where the situation stands today.

Who are you planning for?

Choose the relationship that best describes you.

Where are you coordinating from?

This distinguishes local planning from long-distance coordination.

Where is the person living or staying now?

Choose the current setting, even if it is temporary.
