Providing Care as Unique as You!
About Us
Rise Up Care is a specialist enabling and respite service supporting young adults aged 18 to 35 with learning disabilities. Based in the heart of South Devon, our service is designed to provide more than just care — we offer a place to grow, connect, and thrive.
We provide both day opportunities and overnight stays in a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment that is tailored to the unique needs of each individual we support. Our service is not clinical or institutional — it is bright, modern, warm, and grounded in a person-centred philosophy where every voice is heard, every achievement celebrated, and every journey honoured.
Our central hub in Preston, Paignton, is a vibrant space where young adults can take part in meaningful sessions that foster independence, build confidence, and develop vital life skills. We also support individuals out in the local community, using everyday settings and real-life experiences to build competence and confidence in travel, employment, socialising, and community access.
We are committed to providing flexible, responsive care. Whether someone is visiting for the day or enjoying a short overnight break in our on-site flat, Rise Up Care ensures each experience is engaging, purposeful, and supportive of long-term goals.
Rise Up Care is built around the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a rich and fulfilling life. That’s why we design bespoke support packages in close partnership with families, professionals, and the young adults themselves — enabling progress in areas like living skills, health and wellbeing, relationships, safety, and community participation.
Our approach blends structure with creativity. We offer timetables that include everything from cooking, travel training, and finance sessions to emotional regulation support, social clubs, work experience placements, and even residential trips — all underpinned by fun, friendship, and real-world relevance.
At Rise Up Care, we don’t just support people to get by — we support them to Rise Up, explore who they are, and move forward with confidence into adulthood.
personalised support
Every individual receives a tailored care plan focused on their needs, strengths, and aspirations — no one-size-fits-all approach.
