We are the experts! All we do is think about, work with, train and teach dementia. Our mission is to help families maintain someone’s mental health and independence and we do this in a treatment focused, person centred and (crucially) measured way that we can prove keeps an individual active, healthy and away from expensive complex care for longer.
The organisation is led by a clinical nurse specialist with decades of experience in this field and we connect with NHS health professionals. However, the hub team are experts in dementia, many with years of training and experience, but they are not registered health professionals.
YES. We recognise how scary it can be to start something new and so we are very happy for the loved one to attend for free for as long as she/he feels is appropriate. However, ultimately we are here to give informal carers some respite and to work with the individual living with dementia.
There are many reasons why attending a space like The Ness is crucial. To offer families respite, to continue to stimulate/exercise the brain, to engage in social experiences, to have access to experts for learning and training. Although the immediate memory might be lost the positive emotional memory lasts.
We understand! Individual’s with this illness do have last minute health issues or

each person.
YES! We have built almost a decade of data to prove this. If we keep our brains active we can keep them strong!
Our friendly team are here to answer any questions you may have
