Sammy's Place - learn, grow and thrive

Sammy's Place - learn, grow and thrive Sammy's Place is a 501 (c) (3) on the North Coast of Oregon committed to community living for all. Great things start with big dreams. We are driven.

Our dream is to create community living, working, and respite opportunities, inspired by nature, with people who experience disabilities and those who share their journey. This dream started many years ago with the desire to provide respite for the family and caregivers of people with disability. After all, care giving is only sustainable if self-care is part of the process. The mission grew and expanded when more people joined the effort. Our journey is both personal and universal. We are not only a parent, a caregiver and an aunt of a person with a disability, we are a team that cares about making sure everyone has a choice. We passionately share the vision of building nature-inspired housing where everyone is supported to learn, grow, and thrive. We are committed. We need your support. People who experience disabilities have the same goals as you and I. They want relationships, access to community, good jobs, and affordable housing of their choice. Often, on the Coast of Oregon access to these can be limited. At Sammy’s Place and the Oregon COAAST Network we are working to create more equitable options.

🍝🌊 Happy National Pasta Day!

Did you know there are over 300 types of pasta? From bowties to penne to spaghetti, there’s something for everyone. Pasta reminds us that there’s no “one right shape” — every style has a place on the plate.

Here on the Oregon Coast, we celebrate the same idea in our community: every person brings something unique and wonderful to the table. 💙

So grab your fork, twirl up your favorite noodles, and celebrate today with a big bowl of happiness!

👉 Tell us: do you like your pasta with red sauce, white sauce, or just butter and cheese?

🍰🍦🍪 Today is National Dessert Day — the sweetest day of the year!

Whether your favorite treat is ice cream by the coast, warm cookies fresh from the oven, or a slice of pie shared with friends, desserts remind us of the joy that comes from simple pleasures.

At Sammy’s Place, we celebrate inclusion in every flavor. Just like desserts, our community is better when it’s filled with variety, sweetness, and love. 💙

🌊✨ Today we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day — a time to celebrate the cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous communities, including the Tribes whose homelands stretch across the Oregon Coast.

We recognize and give gratitude to the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and all Indigenous peoples who continue to care for these lands and waters.

At Sammy’s Place, we believe in building a community rooted in respect, inclusion, and connection — values long upheld by Indigenous peoples. Today and every day, we honor their strength, resilience, and wisdom. 💙

🧠💚 Today is World Mental Health Day — a reminder that mental health is essential to overall well-being for everyone.

For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), mental health support is especially important. Individuals with I/DD experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and stress due to barriers like limited access to care, social isolation, and stigma.

At Sammy’s Place, we believe that mental health care should be inclusive, accessible, and compassionate. Supporting mental health for people with I/DD means breaking down barriers, listening to lived experiences, and creating spaces where people can thrive.

✨ Together, we can build a community where mental health is valued, supported, and protected for all.
