One thing worth saying plainly: The Care Compass was built from lived experience. I supported my mum through dementia and my dad through terminal illness. The information existed — what was missing was a clear way to understand what mattered, what came next and where to turn.
— Steven Evans, Founder, The Care Compass
Such an incredible resource. So many people have to navigate these situations with limited emotional or practical support. It's like a hug and a ‘how to’ guide all wrapped into one!
This is a fantastic source of information… everything you need all in one place. When you are handed the diagnosis that is literally all you are given… I really wish The Care Compass was around a few years ago.
Absolutely brilliant. Very well thought out and serves a purpose.
It organised what feels like such a complicated topic into clear areas and order. I’d recommend it to anybody trying to make sense of what to do next.
Would be so incredibly helpful for anyone, and looks brilliant too.
Caring and compassionate and informative.
Warm and welcoming feel. Very personal.
