RISE Life Services

RISE Life Services Supporting 32 residential homes for those living with developmental, intellectual and mental health disabilities since 1984.

Family members of the developmentally disabled established ADD in 1980. These family members were concerned about the physical and emotional decline of patients compelled to live in crowded institutions where the care was custodial and the staffing and programming insufficient and inadequate. These family members were convinced that appropriate treatment and training in a warm, sheltered, homelike environment would enhance their physical and emotional growth. In March of 1984 Aid to the Developmentally Disabled opened its first residential program. It is located in the hamlet of Northville, Riverhead, Long Island. As a result of the initial success in Northville, ADD rapidly grew into a multi service organization. Providing residential programs, supported apartments, clinical supports and case management services to developmentally disabled adults and those with mental challenges on Long Island’s East End.

We are incredibly grateful to Jodi Giglio, Riverhead Free Library, Robert James Salon, and Maximus Gym for serving as drop-off locations and helping make this effort possible.
