In-Home Support Services

Personalized Support. Respectful Care. Delivered at Home.
At ALSO, we believe every person deserves the support they need to live the life they choose, right at home.

Our In-Home Support Services provide individualized assistance for children, youth, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities living with family or in their own home throughout Oregon.

In-Home Services are flexible supports provided in the person’s home to help them maintain health, build skills, and fully participate in daily and community life. These services are tailored to each person’s goals, preferences, and unique support needs.

• Support with daily routines and personal care
• Medication assistance and health-related support (as authorized)
• Meal preparation and nutrition support
• Skill-building for independence and self-advocacy
• Assistance with communication and adaptive equipment
• Community access and participation in recreational activities
• Transportation coordination and appointment support
• Safety monitoring and family caregiver support

Every support plan is unique and developed in collaboration with the person, their family, and their care team.

• Children, youth, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• Individuals who live with family members or in their own non-staffed residence
• People who want flexible support to reach personal goals and remain in their chosen home environment

At ALSO, we are committed to providing services that are:

Person-Directed
Supports are chosen by the individual and aligned with their goals, routines, and cultural preferences.

Collaborative

We partner with families, service coordinators, medical providers, and care teams to create coordinated, holistic support.

Values-Based

Dignity, inclusion, and choice guide everything we do.

Flexible

Support levels can increase or decrease based on changing needs and goals.

• Over 25 years of experience supporting people with disabilities across Oregon

• Proven commitment to community inclusion and independence
• Focus on long-term relationships and responsive care
• Person-led planning, that fosters growth, skill development, and meaningful outcomes

“ALSO sees the whole person, not just their needs, and builds supports around who they are and what they want out of life.” – Family Member

Both services focus on choice, independence, and dignity, and may change as a person’s goals evolve.
