About Medicare Home Health Services

Castor Home Health, a Joint Commission Accredited agency, is dedicated to providing high-quality, safe home health care. Our services are designed to assist patients in their own homes, ensuring safety and comfort while supporting their independence. Home health care with Castor is often more cost-effective compared to hospital or skilled nursing facility care.

We tailor our services to meet your unique needs, including customizing visit frequencies, levels of care for specific conditions, and additional support such as task assistance and appointment management.

To begin, a doctor’s referral is required. Once referred, we will schedule an initial visit to discuss your needs and coordinate care with your physician. Our team provides professional, compassionate care, maintaining regular communication with you, your doctor, and any other caregivers involved. We are committed to delivering in-home care with empathy and expertise.
