Member Testimonials
The ’Ness Hub’ is such a fantastic place
I am writing to you to say a BIG thank you for everything you and your staff have done for my mum Wendy over the last 6 months. The ’Ness Hub’ is such a fantastic place and I know that my mum loves attending very much. The staff you have go above and beyond their duties and welcome all people attending with open arms, making them feel loved & cared for; they are truly a credit to your organisation.
Not enough dementia services around like you
I wish professionals would advocate and promote The Ness and signpost families towards the great service you provide. There are not enough dementia support services around like what the The Ness provides. Thank you for all you do for Mum and I.
They are the best!
I cannot recommend The Ness too highly if you need support for a loved one with dementia . They are the best! All staff are well trained and knowledgeable in this area. We are very fortunate to have this expert organisation in our community.
I cannot recommend highly enough
“The day of my Mum’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, we found The Ness and it was the best thing that could have happened under the circumstances. They have supported her to live independently in her own apartment. I cannot recommend highly enough.”
