Helping people with disabilities and their families to chart
& navigate the course they choose for their lives...
Compass
is a not-for-profit organization serving persons with disabilities and their families. We serve all of the communities of
middle and west Tennessee.
We provide a type of case management services known as "Independent Support Coordination" (ISC) for persons with intellectual disabilities and their families.
These services help people plan, find and connect to needed services in their communities. Also, we provide "Family Support" services to individuals with a wide-range of disabilities and families in Montgomery and Stewart
counties.
We were founded in 1996.
Compass was the very first organization to be established in Tennessee for the provision of ISC services. Since our inception,
we have assisted several hundred persons and their families in learning and navigating the community-based services available
in Tennessee. In 2009, we began providing Family Support services in Montgomery and Stewart counties. We
currently are serving over 1,200 persons and their families with ISC or Family Support Services.
As a qualified provider of Medicaid Waiver ISC services, we are approved
by and hold agreements with the Tennessee Division of Intellectual Disabilities Services (DIDS) and the Bureau of
TennCare. For additional information about accessing Medicaid Waiver or other available DIDS services, please visit the official
DIDS website at: http://www.state.tn.us/dids/
