Our History
A Step Above was founded in 2019 with a mission to enhance the lives of adults with developmental disabilities within Contra Costa County. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, our planned opening was delayed, and we faced the challenges of building a unique organization amidst unprecedented circumstances. Determined to meet the need for quality, individualized support, our team adapted to provide services safely and effectively, even as the pandemic limited in-person care and community engagement.
​​
After our official opening, A Step Above quickly became a trusted resource in the communities of Antioch,
​
​
Brentwood, and Oakley offering government-funded programs that promote personal growth, independence, and social connection. With our community-based support options we've expanded our services to provide physical, emotional and social support tailored to each consumer. Today, A Step Above remains dedicated to high-quality care that enhances the lives we serve, providing families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in a safe environment.
