Finding support can feel like a lot. Empowered Services helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Oregon start services, bring someone they trust, or look for a DSP match.
You are supported by a care team that gets to know you, supports your caregiver, and stays connected after services begin.
Choose the option that best describes your situation. We will help guide the rest.
That is okay. We will help you find the right next step.
Empowered Services specializes in Attendant Care, Day Support Activities, skills training for daily living, Relief Care, On-the-Job Attendant Care, and Community Transportation. Your approved plan tells us what support is approved for you, including your goals, staffing, and where support happens. We explain it in everyday language and build support around your routines, choices, communication, and community life.
Help with personal care, meals, household tasks, mobility, safety, and health-related routines. Your approved plan sets the staffing level and whether support happens at home, in the community, or with added staff.
Structured support for adults that builds or maintains communication, relationships, and participation in community life. Your goals and approved plan determine whether support happens on your own, with a group, in the community, or in a facility.
Skills training through coaching, prompts, and practice with meals, shopping, household routines, organization, communication, budgeting, and other daily tasks named in the approved plan.
Approved relief care when the person’s usual caregiver is unavailable or needs a break. The approved plan sets the length and setting of support.
Approved attendant care for personal care, communication, mobility, health-related routines, or other authorized support needs while you are at work. Your approved plan determines what support is provided.
Approved transportation or mileage support may help an adult reach community activities, appointments, work, and other goals. What is covered depends on the approved plan and transportation rules.
You are not left to manage support alone. Your care team learns what matters to you and stays connected when life changes.
A Regional Care Manager welcomes you, introduces the team, and makes sure you know who to contact.
Your Care Manager and Care Coordinator help with changes, backup support, required reports, questions, and concerns.
Your care team helps you find local resources, events, activities, and connections that fit your life.
DSPs and caregivers receive training, regular check-ins, clear communication, and a team they can turn to. We support wellness, self-care, and community care—people caring for one another—so no one has to carry the work alone.
We listen to customers, families, and caregivers and use their feedback to strengthen support.
“A DSP tailored to our son.”
We joined the interview process and found a DSP who fits our son’s everyday life.
The goal is a support relationship that works for the person and the caregiver.
Share your plan, routines, goals, schedule, communication, and what daily life is like.
Bring someone you trust, refer a DSP, or ask us to recruit a possible match.
Candidates complete required checks, documents, onboarding, and training. You meet proposed DSPs and decide whether to move forward.
Your care team follows up, supports the caregiver, and helps resolve changes or concerns.
Learn how to refer someone and work alongside Empowered across Oregon.
A family member, friend, or longtime supporter may apply to become your paid DSP. We guide both people through screening, onboarding, training, and the start of services.
Build meaningful support relationships with training, check-ins, clear communication, and a county care team behind you.
