The largest hospitality provider in senior living

Compass Community Living was created in May 2021 with the vision to deliver best-in-class culinary and support services to the rapidly accelerating health and senior living industries. Our leaders saw an opportunity to build a powerhouse brand of three distinct, yet complementary companies—Morrison Living, Unidine, and Coreworks—to make them stronger together than they would be apart.

Our common thread among our family of companies is the power to deliver exceptional dining and hospitality experiences that make a positive impression on our partners and the greater community. We're building a purpose-driven culture designed to provide industry-leading service, enable efficient operations, and drive a competitive advantage.
