Portland metro area & Central Oregon

A home,
not a facility.

Ayale Care Center runs three small homes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Three people in each home, caregivers who stay long enough to know them, and a front door with a key that belongs to whoever lives there.

What we do

Support shaped around the person, not the schedule

  • 24-hour care

    Caregivers on-site around the clock. Personal care, medication administration, and support with everything the day asks for.

  • Community living supports

    Appointments, work, volunteering, church, the gym, the grocery run. The ordinary week that makes a life feel like a life.

  • Skill building

    Cooking, budgeting, riding TriMet alone, speaking up in a meeting. Goals set with the person, tracked against their ISP.

  • Health coordination

    We book it, we drive there, we take notes, and we tell you what the doctor said. Medication administration by trained staff.

  • Behavior support

    Positive behavior support plans written with a consultant and followed by every shift, not just the ones who were at the meeting.

For case managers

We will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit

You have placed someone badly before and had to unpick it. So have we. Call the referral line and we will talk through the person, what they need, and whether one of our houses actually works — including when the answer is no.

Work with us

The job is the relationship.

We take Direct Support Professional applications year-round. No experience needed — we train you, we pay for the certification, and we promote from within. Most of our house managers started on the floor.
