How this ranking was built

  1. Overall CQC rating. Outstanding ranks above Good.
  2. Domain strength. How many of the five inspection domains, safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, are rated Good or Outstanding.
  3. Recency. A more recently published rating carries more weight, because it reflects the service closer to how it is now.

Showing 10 of 214 physical disability in Devon that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 260 registered in total. Services with no published rating are excluded: newly registered services often have none, and no rating is not a poor rating.

Based on Care Quality Commission data published 01 July 2026, used under the Open Government Licence. No provider has paid for a position on this page, and none can.

About physical disability in Devon

Support for adults with a physical disability is built around independence: staying in your own home, working if you want to, and choosing who supports you.

What support looks like

Care at home. Personal care, help with moving and handling, medication and daily tasks. Often two carers where hoisting is involved.

Direct payments and personal assistants. The most common arrangement for working-age disabled adults. You take the budget and employ your own staff.

Supported living. Your own tenancy with support, where living entirely independently is not practical.

Equipment and adaptations. From grab rails to a full wet room.

The four funding routes worth knowing

Council social care. A Care Act needs assessment, then the means test. Most working-age disabled adults sit below the £14,250 lower capital limit, so capital is ignored. Push hard on disability related expenditure: the council must deduct the extra costs disability creates, and it is the single most missed reduction in the whole assessment.

Disabled Facilities Grant. Up to £30,000 in England for adaptations. Start with a free occupational therapy assessment from the council.

Access to Work. Equipment, a support worker, taxis to work, or vehicle adaptations. Not means tested, does not affect benefits, never repaid.

PIP. Not means tested, and the enhanced mobility rate also opens the Motability scheme, which lets you lease a car, wheelchair-accessible vehicle or powered wheelchair using the allowance.

Equipment, and what should be free

Equipment and minor adaptations costing under £1,000 should be provided free by the council following an OT assessment. That includes grab rails, raised toilet seats, bath boards and similar. You should not be paying for these.

Wheelchairs come through the NHS wheelchair service. Ask about a personal wheelchair budget, which lets you put the NHS contribution towards a chair of your own choosing.

Choosing a provider

Read the full CQC report, then ask:

  • Are staff trained in moving and handling for this specific person, and who reviews the risk assessment?
  • Will the same carers come, and how is that managed around leave and sickness?
  • Can visit times flex around work, study or appointments?
  • What happens if a call is missed, and how quickly can you cover?
  • Are staff comfortable taking direction from the person they support, rather than deciding for them?

Physical disability support in Devon: common questions

How many physical disability are there in Devon?

260 CQC-registered physical disability have a registered office in Devon, South West. Of those, 214 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.

Who pays for physical disability in Devon?

That depends on your finances, not your postcode. Above £23,250 in capital you normally pay the full cost. Below £14,250 your capital is ignored. Your council carries out the financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare pays in full where needs are primarily health needs. 2026/27 thresholds for England.

Does a Good rating mean the service is good today?

It means it was rated Good at the last inspection, and the gap between inspections can run to years. Use the rating as a starting point, read the full report, and visit in person before deciding.

Who pays for care for a working-age disabled adult?

Usually the council after a Care Act needs assessment, subject to the means test. Most working-age disabled adults have capital below the £14,250 lower limit, so capital is ignored and they contribute only from income while keeping the minimum income guarantee. Ask about disability related expenditure, which the council must deduct and frequently does not.

Can I get a grant to adapt my home?

Yes. A Disabled Facilities Grant is worth up to £30,000 in England for adaptations such as a stairlift, level-access shower, ramps or a ground-floor extension. It is means tested for adults, but not at all for a disabled child under 18.

Carevo does not inspect or endorse services. CQC ratings change between inspections. Check the current rating on the CQC website and read the full report before deciding.
