Compass Care Brings The Science of Home Health Care to Fairfield County


STAMFORD, Conn.--()--Renowned geriatricians are playing key roles in Compass Care, a new concierge care management and private duty homecare company. This Stamford-based company was started four months ago by Dr. Mark Lachs, Co-Chief of Geriatrics at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, along with Stephen Limpe, a Greenwich resident who is President and Chief Executive Officer, and David Goodman, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
“The response to our offerings has been extremely positive, and we are pleased with the comments about our scientific approach”
“Compass Care was formed to address the need for high quality geriatric care management,” said Limpe. “Our primary service area is Fairfield County, and we also provide service to clients in the New York City area including Westchester,” he added.
Working with the company’s geriatric team, Dr. Lachs has established the services of Compass Care based on the latest evidence-based scientific research on home health care. “Our approach is to enable clients to live and stay in their own homes for as long as possible,” said Dr. Lachs. Dr. Lachs also places emphasis on the vital importance of the home health care team and believes strongly that Compass Care’s expertise enables the company to provide safe and expert care in the clients’ homes.
Another important member of Compass Care management is Dr. Karl Pillemer, professor of Gerontology at Cornell and Weill Cornell Medical School. An accomplished author and researcher, Dr. Pillemer has developed innovative training methods to improve the skills and professionalism of direct care workers. “Choosing our trainees is a highly selective process, and we are emphasizing 24/7 nursing supervision and close contact and communication with our clients and their families,” said Pillemer.
Other significant aspects of Compass Care’s services include:
  • Industry-leading standards feature proprietary training for all caregivers in excess of the legal requirements of both Certified Nursing Assistants and Home Health Aides.
  • An innovative family portal that provides loved ones with real-time-status updates of a family member’s situation.
  • Services can be selected on an a-la-carte basis allowing flexibility as well as on a flat fixed-fee basis that gives clients more predictable expenditures.
“The response to our offerings has been extremely positive, and we are pleased with the comments about our scientific approach,” said Limpe.
