About Assisted Living Compass
From the publisher's feed
Navigating senior living options for a loved one can feel overwhelming, confusing, and full of unanswered questions. You don't have to figure it out alone.
I’m Carrie MacDonald, Executive Director of Future Catalina Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care in Palm Desert, CA (opening: January 2027, pending state licensure). With years of hands-on experience in senior care, my goal is to peel back the curtain on how senior living actually works so families can make confident, informed decisions.
Every week, I translate complex California Title 22 regulations into plain English so you understand care levels, resident rights, and facility rules.
I'll also interview key experts supporting our senior community, including:
• The Alzheimer’s Association
• Hospice & Home Health Directors
• Geriatric Physicians &
• many more
