Disability Support Agency Serving Brookings and Curry County
Tucked into the far southwestern corner of Oregon, just north of the California line, Brookings is the largest community in Curry County — a coastal city of roughly 6,700 residents known for its mild "Chetco Effect" climate, its working harbor at the mouth of the Chetco River, and Azalea Park in the heart of town. It's a beautiful place to live, but its remoteness has long meant fewer disability service provider options than families would find in the Rogue Valley or the Willamette Valley. North Star Oregon is here to help close that gap, delivering dependable in-home attendant care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Curry County.
Families in Brookings navigating the I/DD service system typically begin with Community Living Case Management (CLCM), the organization that provides Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP) services under contract with the State of Oregon for Curry County. CLCM's Curry County office is located at 603 Hemlock St, Suite 3A, Brookings, OR 97415 (phone: 541-813-1867). Whether you're already working with a service coordinator at CLCM or just beginning the eligibility process, North Star Oregon can work alongside your team to build a care plan that fits your life.
Living this far down the coast means stunning surroundings — but it also means real geographic isolation. The nearest larger cities, Grants Pass and Medford, sit well over two hours inland across the Coast Range on Highway 199. That distance makes it critical that families in Brookings have access to high-quality disability support without leaving their community. North Star Oregon provides that support, bringing statewide experience to a region that deserves more choices.

Southern Coast Families Deserve More Choices
Curry County's roughly 23,000 residents are spread thinly along a rugged stretch of coastline running from Brookings and Harbor in the south up through Gold Beach and Port Orford. For families raising a child with a developmental disability — or adults living independently with I/DD — the limited number of local providers can feel like a dead end. North Star Oregon was founded to close exactly these kinds of gaps, offering in-home attendant care coordinated through Oregon's K-Plan and the Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS). Our services in Brookings are available to anyone eligible under the ODDS service system. If you're connected with a case manager at CLCM, we can integrate directly with your existing support team. If you're new to the process, we'll help you understand your options and get started.
Trust Built for a Tight-Knit Coast Community
In a small, close-knit community like Brookings, reputation matters. You're not just hiring a provider — you're inviting someone into your home, into your routine, into your family's daily life. Every North Star Oregon support worker is trained, background-checked, and carefully matched to the individual they serve. We prioritize consistency because we know that familiar, reliable support workers make all the difference — especially in a community where word travels fast and trust is earned, not assumed.
In-Home Attendant Care Services in Brookings, Oregon
In-home attendant care is North Star Oregon's core service in Brookings. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in Curry County, attendant care delivers one-on-one support in the comfort of home — covering daily living tasks, personal care, skill building, and community access. On the southern Oregon Coast, where the nearest specialized facilities may be hours away in Grants Pass or Medford, having a trained support worker come to you isn't just convenient — it's essential.
Whether it's helping with morning routines, preparing meals, supporting a walk through Azalea Park or an afternoon along the Chetco River harbor boardwalk, or providing transportation to medical appointments at Curry Medical Center, our attendant care team is built for the long term. We don't do one-off shifts. We build relationships — the kind that matter in a community where people look out for each other.
- Personal care and daily living support
- Skill building toward greater independence
- Community access and social engagement — including Azalea Park, the library, and the harbor boardwalk
