Where Care Meets Community – North Star Oregon Guides the Way.

ABOUT Us

At North Star Oregon, we are deeply committed to providing person-centered disability support services that enrich the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Our small, dedicated agency shines brightly in the heart of Oregon, offering a constellation of in-home and community group activities tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of each person we serve. We understand the importance of family in the journey of care, which is why we embrace a family-focused approach, working hand in hand with loved ones to foster a supportive and inclusive environment.


Our services are not just about care but about creating moments of joy and engagement through day support activities and in-home attendant care services. With a team of available and compassionate staff, we ensure that each person we serve experiences fun and engaging activities that promote personal growth and community involvement. From art workshops to outdoor adventures, every activity is designed to bring a smile to the faces of everyone and their families. We serve people from all walks of life and all ages, including children, adults, and seniors throughout Benton, Linn, Marion, Polk, and surrounding counties. At North Star Oregon, we don’t just navigate the path of care—we celebrate it, lighting the way to a brighter, more connected community for those we serve and their families.

DSA Calendars

At North Star Oregon, we are dedicated to enriching the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing access to group community activities (day support activities or DSA) designed for adults. We meticulously plan our activities and release a new calendar every month. Our DSA groups gather from 10 AM to 3 PM Monday through Saturday. The activity schedule may include activities such as: art classes, bowling, volunteering, or going on different community outings such as going to local events, to the beach, to the mall, or to the park. Currently, we have a group that meets in Albany and a group that meets in Corvallis. There is a centralized meeting spot, however some transportation can be provided depending on the availability of drivers as well as the location of pick up/drop off.  If you're interested in joining or wish to know more about availability on specific days, please don't hesitate to contact us. Additionally, we can add your name to our waitlist if you desire. It is up to the individual as well as available openings as to how many days a week that the individual attends. Your input is valuable to us, and we welcome any suggestions for future activities!
