Disability Support Agency Serving La Pine and Deschutes County
La Pine sits at the southern edge of Deschutes County, surrounded by the ponderosa pine forests and high desert that give Central Oregon its character. As one of Oregon's youngest incorporated cities, La Pine has a close-knit, small-town feel — but families navigating intellectual and developmental disability services often find that specialized providers are concentrated farther north, around Bend and Redmond. North Star Oregon brings reliable, person-centered in-home attendant care directly to La Pine so families don't have to travel to find quality support.
If you're coordinating services through the Deschutes County Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Program (IDD Program), North Star Oregon can work directly with your service coordinator to build a care plan that fits your life. The Deschutes County IDD Program — with offices at 2100 NE Wyatt Court in Bend — is the local Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP) and your starting point for eligibility determination and service coordination. You can reach their intake line at 541-322-7554 or email IDD.intakes@Deschutes.org.
Whether your family has deep roots in La Pine or you've recently settled in the area for its quiet pace and access to the outdoors, finding the right disability support provider matters. North Star Oregon is here to close the gap between what families need and what's available in southern Deschutes County — with dependable, relationship-driven care delivered right where you live.

Support That Comes to Rural Central Oregon
La Pine's location — roughly 30 miles south of Bend, tucked between the Deschutes National Forest and the open high desert — is part of what makes it special, but it can also make accessing services harder. For families coordinating intellectual and developmental disability supports, a long drive to a facility in Bend or Redmond isn't always practical. North Star Oregon was founded to fill exactly these kinds of gaps, delivering dependable disability support without requiring families to leave their own community. Our services in La Pine are coordinated through Oregon's K-Plan and the Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS). If you're already connected with the Deschutes County IDD Program, we can begin working with your team right away. If you're new to the system, we'll help you understand the process from eligibility to enrollment.
Consistent Care You Can Count On
Trust is built over time — and it starts with showing up consistently. Every North Star Oregon support worker is trained, background-checked, and carefully matched to the individual they serve. We don't believe in a rotating cast of unfamiliar faces. Our goal is long-term relationships between our team members and the people they support, because consistency is what makes care feel like care — especially in a small community like La Pine, where familiarity matters.
In-Home Attendant Care Services in La Pine, Oregon
In-home attendant care is our primary service in La Pine. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in southern Deschutes County, attendant care provides one-on-one support in the comfort of home — assisting with daily living tasks, personal care, skill building, and community engagement. Whether it's helping prepare a meal, getting to an appointment at the St. Charles Family Care Clinic on Huntington Road, or building the confidence to enjoy the trails around La Pine State Park more independently, our team is here for the long haul.
Central Oregon's geography means distances between services can add up quickly, and that's especially true in a rural community like La Pine. Rather than requiring clients to travel to a facility, our attendant care workers come to you — wherever home is in the La Pine area, from neighborhoods near downtown to homes scattered among the pines south of town.
