Person-centered care for Oregonians with intellectual & developmental disabilities.
From in-home attendant care to day support programs, every plan we build starts with a conversation.
Typically no out-of-pocket cost to families — funded through Oregon’s K-Plan (Medicaid).

— Teresa, parent caregiver
“Another DSA program turned my son away over minimal walker and bathroom support. North Star welcomed him with no restrictions and made transitioning his DSP hours seamless. He loves their community-based activities — they’ve been a lifesaver for both of us.”
— Stacy, mother of a DSA participant
