Licensed 24-Hour Residential Services · Washington County, Oregon
Blue Ocean Care provides licensed, person-centered 24-hour residential support for adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our homes in the Beaverton area are built around dignity, safety, and genuine belonging.
What we provide
Every individual we serve has an Individual Support Plan that guides their daily routines, goals, and supports. Our homes serve one to five residents each, so care stays personal.
Community-based homes for adults 18 and older with intellectual and developmental disabilities who need around-the-clock support, supervision, and training.
Nurturing, trauma-informed homes for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities who require 24-hour support until their 18th birthday.
As a licensed 24-hour residential program, we are responsible for the whole picture of each resident's wellbeing.
Our approach
Each resident's preferences, strengths, and goals drive their Individual Support Plan. We support the life they choose, not a schedule we impose.
Many of the people we serve carry difficult histories. Our staff are trained to recognize this and respond with patience, predictability, and compassion.
Our staff complete Oregon Intervention System (OIS) training. We rely on prevention, de-escalation, and positive behavior support, never discipline by force.
Residents are neighbors, students, employees, and friends. We build routines that connect each person to the wider community they live in.
"These are our residents' homes. We are there to support, encourage, and assist, and to make every day feel like it belongs to them."
Life in our homes
Homes are designed around the needs and interests of the people who live there, from sensory-friendly spaces to backyard barbecues and birthday dinners.
Direct support professionals are trained in OIS, medication administration, mandatory reporting, and person-centered practices before they ever work a shift alone.
We keep families and guardians informed and involved in care planning, celebrations, and everyday life, in coordination with each person's services team.
Our residents' homes are exactly that: their homes. Oregon confidentiality protections, and our own values, mean we never publish the locations of our residential settings.
Case managers and authorized services teams receive home and vacancy details directly through the CDDP referral process.
Referrals & placement
By Oregon rule, placement in a 24-hour residential program is coordinated by the individual's Community Developmental Disabilities Program or Case Management Entity, not requested directly from the provider. Here is how the process works.
Individuals and families start with the CDDP in their county of origin, which determines eligibility for developmental disabilities services.
The assigned services coordinator or personal agent assesses needs and determines whether 24-hour residential services are appropriate.
The CDDP or CME sends referrals to licensed providers like Blue Ocean Care, including the information we need to assess fit and vacancy.
If the placement is a match, we work with the full services team on a careful, person-centered transition into the home.
Families: if you are not yet connected to services, your county CDDP is the right first call. Find yours in the Oregon ODDS county office directory. Case managers: we welcome referral inquiries through our administrative office listed in the contact section below.
Senate Bill 710 transparency
Blue Ocean Care complies with Oregon Senate Bill 710 (2021) and the applicable Oregon Administrative Rules governing the use of restraint and involuntary seclusion for children in care. Restraint is used only as a last resort, only when a child's behavior creates a serious and imminent risk of harm to themselves or others, and only by staff who hold current certification in the Oregon Intervention System (OIS).
Every child in our care, and their family or guardian, receives written notice of these protections at entry, including the right to be free from abusive restraint and involuntary seclusion, the right to have every incident documented and disclosed, and the right to report concerns to the Oregon Department of Human Services at any time without retaliation.
As required by SB 710, we report quarterly to the Oregon Department of Human Services on any use of restraint or involuntary seclusion involving children in our care, and we post those reports here.
Quarterly reports are filed with ODHS and posted on this page as each reporting period closes. Copies of any filed report are also available on request through our administrative office.
Questions about this policy or our reports can be directed to our administrative office using the contact information below. Concerns about the safety or treatment of any individual in care can always be reported to the Oregon Department of Human Services.
