Our agency is located in Carmel, Indiana

Compass was founded in 2010 as a human services agency that provides services and supports to individuals with disabilities, mental illness and addictions. All services are designed to help people realize their hopes, dreams and personal goals. At Compass, we believe that our agency’s success is measured by the successes of the people we serve. Compass offers a variety of developmental disabilities services funded by the Indiana Medicaid Waiver program, the Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services, and private pay. All services are designed to support you in the direction of your choice.

It is the vision of Compass that all individuals with developmental disabilities will have an equal and valued place in their chosen communities.

The mission of Compass is to support individuals in finding opportunities to live a meaningful and fulfilling life in the direction of their choice.

• Self-Determination

  Compass believes that all people have a rightful place in society. People with developmental disabilities are at risk of being devalued and may need help to attain valued social roles and valued lives. Compass is committed to assisting individuals in developing and maintaining relationships, opportunities, and living arrangements which are fulfilling, meaningful, and of the individual’s choice. This includes the right of basic human dignity. People with developmental disabilities should be afforded the same dignity and respect as individuals without disabilities. Individuals will be encouraged to express individuality, make choices, select and maintain possessions, and will be afforded privacy and treated with respect.

  
  

• Community Integration and Inclusion

  Compass will support individuals to become valued members of the communities in which they live. This includes attending public school, seeking employment at community businesses, shopping at local stores, using community recreation facilities, and receiving health services in the offices of community physicians, dentists, and clinics.

  
  

• Meaningful Day

  Compass is committed to providing learning opportunities throughout an individual’s day. These opportunities may occur on a formal basis as part of a daily schedule, or on an informal basis by taking advantage of every opportunity to address the individual’s needs.

  
  

• Protection from Harm

  Compass is responsible for ensuring that the people we serve are safe from harmful environments, abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Compass is committed to providing the safest possible living and working environments for staff and individuals. It is our goal to increase safety and health consciousness and to reduce injuries and property damage.
