About This Service

SeaStar Senior Services now takes Medicaid in Oregon!

SeaStar Senior Services complies with Oregon Administrative Rules and Washington Administrative Code when hiring caregivers as well as onboarding new clients.

Clients can rest assured that before any caregiver visits their home, they have been thoroughly vetted with background and reference checks, drug testing, received care training, and evaluated by our staff nurse to ensure that medication is administered properly.

We also individually assess each prospective client's specific needs in advance, then create a written service plan which details all caregiver tasks. This helps ensure that SeaStar meets your needs from day one.
