The Memory Compass
Dementia Navigation Coach & Consultant Certified Dementia Practitioner
Services
Jessie provides individualized consultations to families, care partners, and the community to improve the care of individuals with dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. She offers training, resources, education, support, cognitive screenings, and cognitive wellness services for individuals and family members of loved ones living with memory loss and cognitive decline.
Jessie is a certified dementia practitioner and owner of The Memory Compass. With 11 years of experience in the dementia care space, Jessie will partner with your family to help successfully guide you out of living in reactive chaos to a place of proactive direction and peace of mind.
80% of Jessie’s clients are the sons or daughters of a loved one living with dementia, 15% are spouses, and 5% are those interested in learning about brain health and preventative care (a number we hope to see grow as preventative care is currently more promising than any current treatment on the market). Clients are served here locally in Zionsville and virtually across the United States!
Jessie’s clients hire her to help them navigate through various care concerns, including:
- Are the characteristics my loved one is demonstrating normal aging?Â
- I don’t know where to begin. (Individualized navigation is available whether a loved one lives here locally or lives out of state)
- Creating a village of support for the journey and knowing what resources are availableÂ
- Developing an individualized action plan for the present and proactively for the future to foster a loved one continuing to be able to live as vibrant a life as possibleÂ
- Family mediation and communicationsÂ
- Strategizing through challenging care concerns (such as struggles with medication management, driving concerns, how to talk through having an increased level of care, dressing, showering, changes in mood and behavior, and so much more)Â
- Assessing current living environment (from near and from afar)Â
- Developing an individualized emergency planÂ
- I have a family history of cognitive decline and I want to know measures I can take to honor my own brain health
- I am a business owner and am seeking professional guidance on fostering a dementia-friendly environment and tools for employees
No one should have to navigate this journey alone. Reach out to Jessie for a free 15-minute consultation.

"Dementia is personalized (Just in my small world… my husband’s dementia is much different than that of what his mom recently died from, and both are different from the dementia my mom died from twenty years ago.) This requires my role to be personalized in being his care partner and advocate. You help me to achieve a personalized care plan for my husband.
 Your person-centered approach educates me on what my husband needs and empowers me to provide him the care he needs. You partner with me to create a safe and comfortable environment for my husband, while communicating the importance of respite for myself.
 Convenient consultations help me navigate through the practicalities and challenges of dementia. You provide manageable solutions, so that my husband stays safe, and together, we can enjoy our personal optimum quality of life."

"I wish I would have found Jessie sooner! She has been a pillar of support for my Mom and our family. Her training, experiences, and background have left her with a wealth knowledge to truly help us navigate this difficult journey. She has led us through home, to hospital stays, to Assisted Living, and Memory Care. She has been with us all the way providing the most valuable insight and information. Not only has she partnered with us to provide the best care we can for our Mom, she has shown care and concern for each member of our family. She has insight to help caregivers and family members deal with their own mental and physical health. If you or a loved one is ever diagnosed with Memory Loss, or even questioning the possibility of Memory Loss or cognitive decline, she is the first place to go!"
