Disability Support Agency Serving Albany and Linn County
Albany is the county seat of Linn County and the largest city in the mid-Willamette Valley, with a population of over 56,000 people. Situated at the confluence of the Calapooia and Willamette rivers, Albany is a community defined by deep roots — four historic districts, more than 700 historic buildings, and a civic identity that stretches back to 1848. North Star Oregon is proud to serve individuals and families with intellectual and developmental disabilities right here in Albany, with both in-home attendant care and local Day Support Activities.
For families navigating disability services in Linn County, the starting point is typically the Linn County Developmental Disabilities Program — the local Community Developmental Disability Program (CDDP) — located at 315 4th Ave SW in Albany. The CDDP team handles eligibility determination, service coordination, and case management for children and adults with I/DD. North Star Oregon works directly with Linn County case managers to coordinate services and ensure our clients receive seamless, connected support.
Whether you live in Albany's historic Monteith or Hackleman neighborhoods, out near Linn-Benton Community College, or anywhere in the greater Albany area, North Star Oregon brings disability support services to your door — and into the community around you.
Disability Support Services in Albany, Oregon
Full-Service Support in Linn County's Largest City
Albany's size and central location in the Willamette Valley give it resources that many smaller communities lack — medical facilities, public transit through Albany Transit System, parks, and a walkable downtown along the river. But having resources nearby only matters when you have the support to access them. North Star Oregon helps individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities connect with the opportunities Albany offers, through both one-on-one attendant care and group-based Day Support Activities. Our services in Albany are funded through Oregon's K-Plan and coordinated through the Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS). If you're already working with a service coordinator at the Linn County CDDP, we can begin services quickly. If you're new to the process, we'll help you understand your options and take the first steps.
Consistency You Can Count On
Trust is built over time, not in a single visit. Every North Star Oregon support worker is trained, background-checked, and intentionally matched to the individual they serve. In Albany, that means the same familiar faces — caregivers who know your routines, your goals, and the neighborhoods you call home. We are committed to reducing turnover and building lasting relationships between our team members and the people they support.
In-Home Attendant Care Services in Albany, Oregon
In-home attendant care is designed for individuals who want to live as independently as possible in their own home. In Albany, that might mean support getting ready for the day, preparing meals, building daily living skills, or getting to an appointment at Samaritan Albany General Hospital. Our attendant care workers come to you — providing personalized, one-on-one assistance on a schedule that fits your life.
Albany's layout, with neighborhoods spread across both sides of the Willamette River and the Calapooia, means that having a reliable caregiver who knows the area matters. North Star Oregon's attendant care team serves clients throughout Albany and the surrounding Linn County communities, including Lebanon, Sweet Home, and Harrisburg.

Day Support Activities in Albany, Oregon
North Star Oregon operates a Day Support Activities (DSA) program right here in Albany — one of six DSA locations across the Willamette Valley. Our Albany DSA group meets Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 3 PM, and offers structured community-based activities designed for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Activities rotate and are tailored to participant interests, but a typical week might include art projects, bowling, volunteering with local organizations, visits to the Albany Historic Carousel and Museum, walks along the Willamette River waterfront, or outings to community events. The goal is engagement, connection, and skill development — not just filling hours. There is a centralized meeting spot in Albany, and some transportation may be available depending on driver availability and pickup location.
If you or a family member is interested in joining the Albany DSA group, check the calendar for the current schedule or contact us to learn more about enrollment and eligibility.
