We often wait for a diagnosis before looking at support.

And that’s completely understandable.

In the earlier stages, changes can be subtle:

• a bit less confidence
• small communication changes
• stepping back from social situations

It’s not always clear what they mean.

But these changes often begin before any diagnosis is made. Early support isn’t about labels, it’s about helping someone stay confident, engaged and connected while those abilities are still strong.

Sometimes, small steps early on can make a meaningful difference over time.

Caring for someone with dementia can feel lonely, even when you are doing everything you can.

Sometimes you need practical advice. Sometimes you just need to talk to people who understand.

Our Chudleigh Family and Carer Support Group offers a warm, welcoming space for families and carers supporting someone with dementia.

It is a chance to share experiences, ask questions, pick up useful information and feel less on your own.

Whether you come for support, reassurance or simply a chat with others who understand, you would be very welcome.

First Wednesday of each month
10am to 12 noon

The next meeting is on Wednesday, 1st April

📍 Bellever Room, The Ness, Orchard House, Market Way, Chudleigh, TQ13 0HL

Conversation is one of the first things that really changes and it’s often misunderstood.

We tend to think memory loss is about forgetting.

But conversation relies on:

processing speed
short-term memory
predicting what someone will say next

When those start to change, conversation becomes hard work.

What looks like:
“not listening” or “not engaging”

…is often someone trying to keep up.

Sometimes the most helpful thing isn’t repeating —
it’s slowing down.

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.
