Lifestyle

Neawanna By The Sea is a place of vibrancy and life—promoting meaning and joy in the lives of residents, families, and our team members. Elders inspire us, motivate us, guide, and direct us. As we work to create an empowering, caring, growing culture for elders, we are also creating our own future. After all, we are all elders-in-waiting!

A Focus on Nutrition and Friendships

At Neawanna by the Sea, dining is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. Our restaurant-style dining features a curated menu of fresh, home-cooked meals prepared daily by chefs who balance flavor and nutrition with care.

We believe food should nourish both body and spirit. From comforting favorites to seasonal specialties, residents enjoy variety, quality, and the joy of sharing meals together.

Special dietary needs? We’ve got you covered. Whether it’s no added salt, vegetarian, sugar-free, or other preferences, our team happily prepares meals that fit your lifestyle while staying full of flavor. Cottage residents also have flexible meal plan options, offering choice beyond the all-inclusive dining program.

Services & Amenities

At Neawanna by the Sea, we make daily life easier so residents can focus on what matters most—connection, comfort, and fulfillment. Each resident enjoys a private apartment or cottage they can make their own, complete with features such as handicap accessibility, private baths with safety bars, and in-unit washer and dryer options in cottages. Small pets are welcome too, making it truly feel like home.

Our community offers welcoming spaces to gather, including comfortably furnished lounges, a library, private mailboxes, and scenic courtyards with walking paths. Residents also enjoy daily social and recreational opportunities, nutritious chef-prepared meals with snacks available anytime, weekly housekeeping, maintenance services, and scheduled transportation for appointments and shopping.

For added peace of mind, a 24-hour call system, on-site care team, and licensed nurse oversight are always available, along with coordination with healthcare providers. Complimentary laundry facilities, fire safety systems, and all basic utilities (excluding phone and cable) are included, ensuring comfort and security at every step.

Life Enrichment

At Neawanna by the Sea, we believe elderhood is a time to be celebrated—the crescendo of a lifetime. Our Life Enrichment programs are thoughtfully designed to enhance every dimension of wellness—social, creative, spiritual, purposeful, and overall well-being bringing joy, meaning, and fulfillment to each day. Through meaningful connections, creative expression, and new adventures, we empower residents to embrace their passions, discover new ones, and truly thrive in a supportive, person-centered community.

At our community, Growth and Wellness Plans go beyond traditional care plans. Instead of focusing on limitations or diagnoses, we focus on each person’s strengths, goals, and passions. Together, we create a plan that supports well-being—physically, emotionally, and socially—so residents can continue to grow, stay connected, and live with purpose in a caring community.

We embrace an elder-directed, person-centered world for the elders and care teams living and working at Neawanna By The Sea. We have an Eden Alternative® Associate and Eden Alternative® Educator on our Compass Senior Living team, who are championing this culture for Neawanna.

At Compass Senior Living, we have the privilege of hearing the wisdom, humor, and small but meaningful stories from elders who have lived nearly a century. Each story—whether a cherished memory, a life lesson, or a moment of joy—offers a unique window into a life well-lived.

Through our simple process of capturing these stories, we create an enriching experience for both the storyteller and the listener. Residents share their adventures, challenges, and insights, forming deeper connections and preserving their legacy for generations to come—complete with voices, photos, and personal reflections.

The Tiny Stories™ Project has already preserved hundreds of stories told from our residents’ perspectives.

The Compass Café offers an enhanced dining experience that complements our daily menu. Meals are thoughtfully designed to meet residents’ nutritional needs while providing variety and honoring personal preferences.

Menus are refreshed every 4–6 months to feature seasonal ingredients and community favorites, and special options are included for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The Compass Café blends tradition with innovation—bringing comfort, choice, and flavor to every meal.
