To help seniors live safely and happily within the comfort of their own home or place of living by providing care from the most compassionate, reliable, and well-trained caregivers.

This name reflects our commitment to providing quality care that helps our clients feel safe, respected, and well-cared for in the comfort of their own homes or place of living.
Our core values are embodied in what we call our '8 Guiding Principles.' These principles are the foundation of our daily actions and influence every decision we make. Our dedication to these principles ensures a compassionate, reliable, and high-quality service experience for all. They are as follows:

John’s passion for caring for others has always been an integral part of who he is. His dedication to elder care was deeply influenced by his grandparents' experiences with home care, inspiring him to found Castleton Home Care. As a Certified Nursing Assistant with a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Georgia, John combines practical caregiving skills with strategic business management. His deep-rooted passion for elder care, coupled with his strong relationships with home care industry leaders, allows our clients to benefit from working with an agency that is free from franchise constraints.
Being independently owned and operated enables Castleton to respond directly to client feedback, crafting a truly personalized care experience. Responsiveness is a priority for John and is one of the key reasons he chose for Castleton to be independently owned and operated. This flexibility and attention to client needs have allowed Castleton to develop its “Community Connection Program” and an in-house professional cleaning service tailored to the needs of seniors. John’s vision for holistic, client-focused care is at the heart of everything we do, setting Castleton apart as a leader in compassionate and innovative elder care solutions.
