Are you caring for someone with dementia or memory loss?

If you have ever thought “Am I doing this right?” you are not alone.

Dementia can affect memory, communication and behaviour and that can make day to day life feel harder for everyone involved.

On Thursday 26 February, The Ness Care Group is running a face to face training day for family members and informal carers. It is clear and practical and focused on what will help you at home.

Led by dementia specialist Jonathan Hanbury, you will cover:

• What is happening in the brain and why changes can happen
• Communication and behaviour changes and how to respond
• Practical approaches you can use straight away
• What support options exist and what to do next

Timings
9.30am registration and refreshments
10.00am to 4.00pm course

We will confirm the location shortly, based on where demand is from those attending.

We’ve been part of the Exmouth community for nearly three years, based on Withycombe Village Road, supporting people with memory changes and their families.

This is the Exmouth hub team: Jonathan, Izzy and Tracy.

Ness Care Group supports people with Mild Cognitive Impairment and those further along their dementia journey too. We run Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) in small groups, using structured, evidence-based activities to support thinking skills, communication and confidence. There are good reasons behind everything we do and it’s enjoyable as well.

Exmouth is one of our hubs, alongside Teignmouth and Chudleigh, with an additional hub opening soon in Kingsteignton. Each hub is rooted in its local community, with the same clinically led, research informed approach.

If you’d like to pop in and have a chat, you’d be very welcome.

26/01/2026

On the 29th Jan, join us for a practical and engaging day designed for professionals supporting people with memory loss or changing behaviour.

Through clear explanations, real examples and discussion, the focus is on the person, not the diagnosis. You will leave feeling more confident and better equipped for day-to-day practice.

For health, social care, community and voluntary sector professionals.
CPD certified. Certificate provided.

At The Ness, we believe every person deserves a plan built around them.

We take time to understand each individual’s goals, strengths and cognitive ability, so we can offer the right support at the right time.

For those living with memory loss, this helps us match people with others at a similar stage and gently track any changes. For families, carers and those seeking coaching or guidance, it helps us tailor our support to what really matters to you.

If you would like to begin your journey with The Ness, you can complete the form on our website, call us on 01626 774 799, or email info@nesscaregroup.co.uk.

Once you get in touch, one of our specialists will call you to talk through a few questions and arrange a face-to-face assessment.

We had a really lovely message recently:

“Mum is having such a terrific time on her Tuesdays with you. It really is making a difference to her.”

That meant a lot to our team.

If you’re noticing memory changes in someone you love, it’s easy to sit with the worry for a while.

Not because you’re ignoring it, but because you’re not sure what help exists, or whether it’s too soon to do anything.

It’s not too soon.

At Ness, we run Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) in small groups. It’s structured and evidence based, using themed conversation and activities to support thinking skills, communication and confidence. There’s a reason behind every activity we do and yes, it’s fun too. 😀

We plan sessions carefully and we pay close attention to what helps each person over time. People can come in a way that suits them, including how often they attend and how long they stay.

And it’s not only good for the person attending. It can also give families a genuine break, a regular slot in the week with a bit more breathing space.

Why do some people delay getting a dementia diagnosis?

Many people are frightened of “the D word”. But getting diagnosed early actually reduces fear. It gives people time to understand, plan and start treatments that can slow decline.

A diagnosis means more control, not less.

If you’re concerned about a loved one, talk to your GP or contact The Ness.

We deliver in-person CST therapy across Devon from four memory hubs, supported by expert online treatment, coaching and carer training.

🧠 Early action changes everything.

Most dementia training explains what dementia is.

What people often struggle with is understanding why behaviour changes and what actually helps when someone seems distressed, withdrawn or unsettled.

On Thursday, 29th January, The Ness Care Group is running a one day, face to face course that looks at what’s happening in the brain and how this links to behaviour, communication and everyday responses.

The day brings together brain science and real life practice, covering things like:

why certain situations can trigger distress

what sits underneath behaviours that are often labelled as challenging

how communication can calm a situation rather than escalate it

This course is designed for professionals working in health and social care and the voluntary sector who want a deeper, practical understanding of dementia and behaviour.

🕘 9am to 4pm
📍 Face to face
📄 CPD certified

If you’d like more information about the day, including costs and suitability, please send us a message.
