Disability Support Agency Serving Springfield and Lane County
Springfield is a city with deep roots — from its timber industry heritage along the Mill Race to its present-day identity as a growing, resilient community of roughly 61,000 residents in eastern Lane County. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families here, finding reliable support that understands this community is essential. North Star Oregon provides both in-home attendant care and Day Support Activities (DSA) in Springfield, delivering person-centered services designed to help people thrive where they live.
Disability services in Springfield are coordinated through Lane County Developmental Disabilities Services (DDS), the local Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP). Lane County DDS is located at 2513 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Eugene and handles eligibility, intake, and service coordination for all of Lane County — including Springfield. Once a service plan is established through your Lane County case manager, North Star Oregon can begin providing care as your chosen provider. We work directly with your service coordination team to ensure smooth, well-organized support.
Springfield has its own character — distinct from neighboring Eugene. From the revitalized downtown along Main Street to the Booth-Kelly Makers District, the Wildish Community Theater, and the trails at Dorris Ranch, this city has a strong sense of place. North Star Oregon recognizes that supporting someone in Springfield means understanding Springfield — its neighborhoods, its resources, and its people.

Serving the East Side of Lane County
Springfield sits on the eastern side of the Eugene-Springfield metro area, separated from Eugene primarily by Interstate 5. While the two cities share a metropolitan statistical area, Springfield has its own city government, school district, parks system (Willamalane Park and Recreation District), and community identity. PeaceHealth, the largest employer in Springfield, anchors the local healthcare landscape from Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend on Riverbend Drive. North Star Oregon's services in Springfield are coordinated through Oregon's K-Plan and the Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS), and we collaborate with Lane County DDS to deliver reliable care across the city.
A Provider That Shows Up
For families in Springfield, consistency matters more than promises. When you choose North Star Oregon, you get support workers who are trained in developmental disability care, background-checked, and assigned to your loved one with the goal of long-term stability. We do not shuffle staff constantly or send unfamiliar faces to your door. Building a real relationship between the support worker and the person they serve is not optional — it is the foundation of everything we do.
In-Home Attendant Care Services in Springfield, Oregon
In-home attendant care is the core of what North Star Oregon provides in Springfield. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, attendant care means one-on-one support in the comfort of their own home — helping with personal care, daily routines, and the practical tasks of independent living. Whether someone lives near Thurston, in the Gateway area, or closer to downtown Springfield, our support workers come to them.
Springfield residents benefit from strong local infrastructure that supports community participation. Willamalane Park and Recreation District operates parks, pools, and community centers throughout the city. PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, located at 3333 Riverbend Drive, is the region's largest hospital and a frequent destination for medical appointments. Our attendant care workers help clients navigate these resources — from scheduling and transportation support to accompanying individuals on errands and outings along Main Street or at the Shoppes at Gateway.

Day Support Activities in Springfield, Oregon
North Star Oregon offers Day Support Activities (DSA) in Springfield as part of our growing presence in Lane County. Our Springfield DSA program provides structured group activities focused on skill development, social engagement, and community integration for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Springfield's community resources create meaningful opportunities for DSA programming. Participants may engage in activities connected to the city's parks and trails — including the 268-acre Dorris Ranch Living History Filbert Farm and its accessible trail network along the Middle Fork Willamette River — as well as community spaces in the revitalized downtown core. Our DSA programming is person-centered and guided by each participant's Individual Support Plan (ISP), with goals ranging from social skills and vocational readiness to creative and recreational engagement. Springfield is one of North Star Oregon's newer DSA locations in Lane County, and we are building programming that reflects the practical, grounded character of this community.
