Disability Support Agency Serving Marion County
Marion County is the fifth most populous county in Oregon, home to roughly 347,000 residents and the state capital of Salem. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living anywhere in the county — from the government corridors of downtown Salem to the farming communities of Woodburn, the historic streets of Silverton, or the foothills near Stayton and Sublimity — North Star Oregon provides person-centered disability support services designed to help people thrive in their own homes and communities.
Disability services in Marion County are coordinated through the Marion County Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Program (the local CDDP), located at 3180 Center St NE, Salem, OR 97301. You can reach them at 503-588-5288. The CDDP handles eligibility determination, service coordination, and case management for children and adults with I/DD throughout the county. If you already have a case manager through Marion County's CDDP, North Star Oregon can work directly with your service coordination team to get attendant care or Day Support Activities started. If you are new to the system, we are happy to walk you through the process.
Marion County's size and diversity set it apart from many Oregon counties. Salem alone has a population exceeding 180,000, but the county also includes smaller cities like Keizer (pop. ~40,000), Woodburn (~27,000), Silverton (~10,000), Stayton (~8,500), and dozens of rural communities. North Star Oregon serves families across this entire geography — not just within Salem city limits.
Our Services Across Marion County
Our Services Across Marion County
North Star Oregon offers two core service lines in Marion County: statewide in-home attendant care and facility-based Day Support Activities (DSA). **In-home attendant care** is available throughout all of Marion County. Whether you live in Salem, Keizer, Silverton, Woodburn, Mt. Angel, Aumsville, Turner, Jefferson, or any other Marion County community, our attendant care workers come to your home to provide one-on-one support. **Day Support Activities (DSA)** are available at our Salem location. DSA groups provide structured community engagement, skill building, and social connection for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals from anywhere in the county — Stayton, Sublimity, Gervais, Hubbard, Donald, and beyond — can participate in our Salem-based DSA programs.
In-Home Attendant Care Across Marion County
In-home attendant care is the backbone of what we do in Marion County. For individuals with I/DD living in their own homes or with family, attendant care provides personalized, one-on-one support with daily living tasks, personal care, skill building, and community access. This service is funded through Oregon's K-Plan and coordinated through your CDDP case manager.
Marion County covers over 1,190 square miles, from the urban core of Salem and Keizer to agricultural communities like Gervais, St. Paul, and Aurora, and foothill towns like Detroit, Idanha, and Gates along the North Santiam Canyon. No matter where you live in the county, North Star Oregon brings attendant care to your door. We prioritize long-term consistency — matching each individual with a support worker who knows them, understands their goals, and shows up reliably.
- Personal care and daily living support
- Skill building toward greater independence
- Community access and social engagement
- Assistance with medical appointments and errands
- Companionship and consistent, familiar support
Day Support Activities in Marion County
North Star Oregon operates a Day Support Activities (DSA) location in Salem, making Marion County one of the counties where both of our core service lines are directly available. Our Salem DSA program offers structured group activities focused on community engagement, skill development, social connection, and personal growth for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
DSA programming includes a rotating calendar of activities — from community outings and volunteer projects to life skills workshops and recreation. Participants come from across Marion County, not just Salem. If you live in Keizer, Silverton, Woodburn, Stayton, or another Marion County community, you are welcome to join our Salem-based DSA groups.
To see what is coming up, check our DSA calendar or contact us to schedule a visit.
