Disability Support Agency Serving Lincoln City and Lincoln County
Lincoln City stretches for more than seven miles along the central Oregon Coast, a beach town of roughly 9,000 year-round residents built from five historic communities — Oceanlake, Delake, Nelscott, Taft, and Cutler City — that joined together in 1965. It is the largest community in the northern half of Lincoln County and a hub for the surrounding coastal towns, but like much of the coast, it has long had fewer disability service provider options than communities in the Willamette Valley or Portland metro. North Star Oregon is here to change that, delivering dependable in-home attendant care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Lincoln County.
Families in Lincoln City navigating the I/DD service system typically begin with Lincoln County Developmental Disability Services, the county's Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP), which handles eligibility, intake, and service coordination under contract with the State of Oregon. Their office is located at 255 SW Coast Highway, Newport, OR 97365 (phone: 541-265-0482). Whether you're already working with a service coordinator there or just beginning the eligibility process, North Star Oregon can work alongside your team to build a care plan that fits your life.
Living on the coast means beautiful surroundings — but it also means geographic isolation. The nearest major service centers and our closest Day Support Activities hubs are over the Coast Range in the Willamette Valley, with Salem more than an hour east on Highway 18. That distance makes it critical that families in Lincoln City 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.

Coastal Families Deserve More Choices
Lincoln County's roughly 50,000 residents are spread across a string of coastal towns — Lincoln City, Newport, Toledo, Waldport, and Depoe Bay — separated by headlands, bays, and miles of Highway 101. 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 Lincoln City are available to anyone eligible under the ODDS service system. If you're connected with a case manager at Lincoln County Developmental Disability Services or with a support services brokerage, 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 close-knit beach town like Lincoln City, 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 Lincoln City, Oregon
In-home attendant care is North Star Oregon's core service in Lincoln City. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in Lincoln 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 Oregon Coast, where specialized facilities may be an hour or more over the Coast Range, 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 along the beach at the D River, a quiet afternoon at the Connie Hansen Garden, watching the harbor seals at Taft Waterfront Park on Siletz Bay, or providing transportation to medical appointments at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, 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.
