Disability Support Agency Serving Lebanon and Linn County
Lebanon sits on the eastern edge of the Willamette Valley along the South Santiam River, about 25 minutes from both Albany and Corvallis. With a population approaching 20,000, it's a growing community with its own hospital, a medical school campus, and a veterans' home — but disability support providers haven't always kept pace with that growth. North Star Oregon serves Lebanon with in-home attendant care, bringing consistent, person-centered I/DD support directly to families here.
Linn County coordinates developmental disability services through its Developmental Disabilities Program, located at 315 4th Ave SW in Albany (541-967-3890). The Linn County CDDP handles eligibility determinations and case management for Lebanon residents. If you're already working with a Linn County case manager, North Star Oregon can begin coordinating services quickly. If you're starting from scratch, we can help you understand the process and connect with the right people.
Lebanon has seen meaningful institutional investment in recent years. The College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific Northwest opened here in 2011, the Edward C. Allworth Veterans' Home opened in 2017, and Linn-Benton Community College's HealthCare Occupations Center followed the same year. These additions have strengthened the local economy — and they signal a community that's investing in health and human services infrastructure.
Disability Support Services in Lebanon, Oregon
Rooted in the South Santiam Community
Lebanon has its own identity — it's not a suburb of Albany, and families here are clear about that. The annual Strawberry Festival, held at Cheadle Lake Park since 1909, is one of the longest-running community celebrations in Oregon. The foot-and-bike trails, the river access, the small-town downtown — these are the things that make Lebanon home. North Star Oregon's approach is to work within this community, not to pull people out of it for services. Our attendant care workers help individuals participate in the life of Lebanon itself: getting to the farmers' market, using the Dial-a-Bus system, keeping medical appointments at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital, or simply maintaining the daily routines that provide structure and dignity.
Dependable Care from Familiar Faces
Lebanon is far enough from Albany and Corvallis that a provider based in either city can feel distant. Schedules get disrupted, workers cancel because of the drive, and families lose trust. North Star Oregon addresses this by building reliable staffing plans for Lebanon clients specifically — not treating Lebanon as an afterthought tacked onto an Albany route.
In-Home Attendant Care Services in Lebanon, Oregon
In-home attendant care is North Star Oregon's core offering in Lebanon. This means one-on-one support in the individual's own home — assistance with personal care, daily living tasks, skill building, and community engagement. For families in Lebanon, attendant care eliminates the need to travel to Albany or Corvallis for facility-based services and keeps the individual connected to their own neighborhood and routines.
Lebanon's Dial-a-Bus program provides curb-to-curb transportation for people with disabilities within city limits, and our attendant care workers can help clients use this and other local resources effectively. Whether it's getting to a doctor's appointment, shopping at Grocery Outlet, or attending a community event at Cheadle Lake Park, the goal is participation in everyday life — not isolation.
- Personal care and daily living assistance
- Skill building toward greater independence
- Community access — local errands, appointments, recreation
- Support using local transit like Dial-a-Bus
- Companionship and consistent, familiar staffing
Day Support Activities Near Lebanon, Oregon
North Star Oregon does not operate a Day Support Activities (DSA) location in Lebanon. In-home attendant care is the primary service we provide locally. For individuals interested in group-based DSA programming, our nearest locations are in Albany and Tangent — each about a 25-minute drive west. We also run DSA programs in Corvallis, Eugene, Springfield, and Salem.
If demand for DSA grows in the Lebanon and Sweet Home corridor, we want to know about it. Community interest directly shapes where we expand.

About North Star Oregon
North Star Oregon serves Linn County as one of our core service areas, and Lebanon is a community we know well. We understand that families east of Albany face different challenges than those in the valley floor — fewer providers, longer waits, and a sense of being overlooked.
