We communicate far more without words than we realise.

Facial expression
Tone of voice
Body language

For someone living with memory changes, these often carry more meaning than the words themselves.

Someone may not follow every part of a conversation…
but they will notice: whether you seem calm, whether you seem rushed or whether something feels safe.

Often, how something is said matters more than what is said.

We had a brilliant time at our Teignmouth Hub celebrating Red Nose Day, with both guests and staff getting involved.

From red noses to red clothing, there was a real sense of fun throughout the day.

Together, we raised £50 for Comic Relief. Thank you to everyone who took part.

"The difference you have made to my mum’s wellbeing has been immeasurable.”

Feedback like this means everything to us.

At Ness, we support people with mild cognitive impairment to mid-stage dementia through structured day support, therapeutic activity and Cognitive Stimulation Therapy.

We know families are not just looking for company. They are looking for the right environment, the right expertise and the right support.

If you are starting to think about help for a loved one, we are here to talk.

Not every change in memory or thinking should be put down to “just ageing”.

Sometimes the early signs can be easy to miss or brush aside, but doing something early can make a real difference.

Brain training and Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) can help people stay mentally active, support confidence, and encourage important skills such as memory, attention, communication and social interaction.

Taking action early can simply mean getting the right support in place sooner. It can help people keep using their strengths, stay connected, and remain independent for longer.

That is why early support matters.

If you’d like to learn more about the support we offer, please feel free to get in touch.

Why do some people remember how something felt, but not what happened?

Memory and emotion are processed in different parts of the brain.

As memory changes, someone may not remember the details of a conversation or an activity…

…but they often remember how it made them feel.

This is why creating a calm, positive and supportive environment matters so much.

Because even when the detail fades, the feeling often remains.

It’s something we think about carefully in all of our sessions at The Ness.

5 signs your loved one may need more than occasional support

They’re becoming more isolated

Their routine is slipping

They seem less confident socially

You’re carrying more of the caring load each week

They would benefit from structured stimulation, not just supervision

At Ness, we support people with mild cognitive impairment to mid-stage dementia through structured day support, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy and ongoing measurement of their journey.

Support matters for carers too.

If you are caring for someone with dementia, our Teignmouth Family and Carer Support Group offers a welcoming place to talk things through, meet others in a similar position and access helpful support in a relaxed setting.

Sometimes it helps to ask questions. Sometimes it helps just to be in the company of people who understand.

The group meets on the third Thursday of each month, from 10am to 12 noon.

📍 Beechcroft, Salisbury Terrace, Teignmouth, TQ14 8JA. The next meeting is on Thursday, 19th March.

To find out more, call 07355 371608 or 01626 774 799.

Could smart technology help people stay independent at home for longer?

The Ness is incredibly excited to announce the launch of a new 3-month research project. We have partnered with Intelligent Lilli to offer a small group of family’s FREE home monitoring for 3 months.

Families, individuals, couples (with or without memory loss) are invited to take part in the trial, it costs nothing, and all we ask for is some honest feedback on how the technology fits into everyday life.

Lilli uses discreet, non-intrusive sensors to help build a picture of daily routines. This may help detect early signs that someone is struggling more than usual, while still respecting privacy.

At The Ness Care Group, our mission is to maintain each person’s mental and physical health, helping them remain independent and at home for longer. That is why this piece of research is such a natural fit.

It also links closely with the support we already provide through our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy programme, which focuses on helping people stay engaged, confident and as independent as possible.

We’re excited to be leading this FREE trial and look forward to sharing what we learn. Please get in touch to sign up.

One of the practical topics raised in our recent carers group was train travel.

For many families, the question is not just “Can we travel?” but “How do we make it feel manageable?”

We talked about Passenger Assist, a service that can help with things like support at the station, getting on and off the train, and help with connections.

For carers, this can make outings, appointments and family visits feel a bit more possible and a lot less stressful.

It is the kind of practical support that is easy to miss if no one tells you about it, which is exactly why we share these tips in our carers groups at The Ness.

🚆 If this could help you or someone in your family, have a look at National Rail Passenger Assist.

We run monthly carers groups in Teignmouth, Chudleigh and Exmouth, where family members can talk openly, swap tips and pick up useful support information.

If you have any top tips that have helped with travel, feel free to share them in the comments. If you would like to join one of our carers groups, send us a message and we will be happy to help.
