Ridgecott

Located in Plympton, Devon, Ridgecott is a residential service to support the specific needs of people with autism, learning disabilities, physical disabilities and mental health needs. We strive to enable each individual we support to reach their fullest potential within a safe, structured, stimulating environment.

Our approach to support

At Ridgecott, all individuals are all supported by an experienced staff who have a good understanding and empathy of the needs of people with autism and related conditions. Each person has a person-centred plan, which they help design and each plan is specifically designed to reflect their personal needs and choices. In addition, each resident is assigned a key worker who ensures a holistic approach to their support.
