Where compassion meets expertise

Comfort Compass

Personalized support from a nurse advisor

Amy Hensley, RN

"Hi Amy: I need your professional advice."

"Oh Amy I feel like I should apologize for my awkward tackling of you last night! But it was good to see you and know you're such a comforting force at a time when we're so worried about mom."

"Hey Amy. I wonder if you would be up for a coffee or chat with hubby and me as we keep going on this medical journey with his mom. We could use some perspective and advice, and in talking about that, your name came up. We thought we'd like some objective thoughts on how things are going or what we're doing or should be doing to care for her. Would you be up for that?"

This was why I started Comfort Compass. Not because I'm THE expert, but because of who I am...professional, kind, direct, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

Is this you?

Don't worry. I don't judge.

TESTIMONIALS

Why I recommend Amy

— Amy is a phone call away.

Absolute gem of a person and important service.

Death, like grief, has many levels and timelines.

Amy was able to help me and my siblings navigate the beginnings of our Mom’s end-of-life journey. It's been a shocking and complex medical journey where we continue losing parts of our Mom along the way.

Amy’s customized guidance and resources helped us get through these levels of “little deaths” and begin preparations for our Mom’s actual physical death.

Even though we are still on this end-of-life journey, it is of great comfort to know that whatever crisis arises, that Amy is a phone call, text, email, or visit away.

— And she did it with grace, humor, and a hug.

Being the primary caregiver for a parent with dementia is a challenging and lonely path. It’s difficult to know how to work with the senior living facility, doctors, and other family members — all while honoring my mom’s wishes as her condition continues to change.

Amy met with me and offered an objective and experienced listening ear for my questions and worries. She asked thoughtful and direct questions about my mom and her care, but also about her wants and needs. She suggested ideas and specific tactics that gave me more confidence about being sure Mom is cared for.

And she did it with grace, humor, and a hug.

— Amy helped guide me.

Amy was recommended to me by a trusted friend, and she more than lived up to the stellar recommendation! I was going through a particularly trying time dealing with issues related to an elderly parent, and Amy provided much-needed perspective, offered incredibly helpful suggestions, and helped guide me through a tremendously difficult period. Amy is an extremely empathetic listener whose calm demeanor allowed me to focus on resolutions that I could understand and successfully implement. I simply cannot recommend Amy highly enough!

— I value her expertise.

Amy’s wise advice for us during a pending health crisis helped calm our jitters. Her advice to avoid big decisions until we had more information proved truthful. I value her expertise and friendship.
