In-Home Attendant Care in Oregon
Brightening Paths, Enriching Lives
At North Star Oregon, in-home attendant care is one-on-one support delivered in the place that already feels like home. Our team works alongside individuals and families to make daily life easier — helping with the tasks of everyday living, building skills toward more independence, and creating room for the things that bring meaning and joy. We focus on the whole person, not a diagnosis.
Our support extends from help with daily activities such as personal care, meal preparation, and getting out into the community, to steady companionship and a listening ear. We believe social engagement and a sense of purpose are part of a good day, not extras. Whether it's a conversation over breakfast, running errands, or a hand with a hobby someone loves, our team is here to help the people we support live the lives they choose.
Everyday Support, Centered on the Person
Our team supports the full rhythm of daily life — bathing, grooming, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and grocery shopping. We help with planning, decision-making, and keeping track of what matters across the day. We accompany individuals to errands, appointments, and community outings, and we partner with families and the wider support team so everyone stays in step with the person at the center of the plan.

Please Note: Having a listed condition does not automatically guarantee eligibility for our services.
Eligibility
Our services are funded through Oregon’s K-Plan (Medicaid), so they typically cost families nothing out of pocket. We serve people from all walks of life and all ages — children, adults, and seniors — throughout the state of Oregon.
Here’s how the path works: your local Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP) determines I/DD eligibility. From there, your Services Coordinator or Personal Agent connects you with us, we meet to make sure our services fit your needs, and attendant care is added to your Individual Support Plan (ISP) — authorizing North Star Oregon to work with you. You can also check eligibility on Oregon.gov.
Not sure where you are in that process? Call us — we’ll help you figure out the next step.
