The folks at Castor really saved my family during my father's post-op after having his prostate removed. And they did it with no notice -- I truly appreciate their efforts. They are warm, sincere, and very thoughtful. You won't find a better place for home health care!

The home care services from the Castor agency are very thorough. I've been pleased with each stage of my overall health care plan. This includes both occupational therapy and physical therapy both of which I needed desperately. I mostly appreciated how none of the people that worked with me ever caused me to feel like I wasn't trying hard enough or moving forward fast enough with improving my mobility.

Everyone we have come in contact with from Castor has been kind, caring, understanding and helped with educating all of us. They have always responded quickly no matter the question or issue. I highly recommend them for your home health care.

Lexie is so sweet and she helps me tremendously! She is the most caring person I know of! I would always have her as my therapist! She is kind and thoughtful and she cares about me! I had to go to the Emergency Room and she called me this afternoon and to ask me about my illness I told her that I just got out of the hospital and I was waiting for my medicine. That is how much she cares about me! She is the most Wonderful Therapist! And I Love Her!!

Britney has been one of the best caregivers /nurse for your company. She is very precise, making sure she gets all of my vitals keeping me on track even with the A fib I deal with.If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have gone back to the doctor I would have assumed the growth that was happening was normal because of the keloid tissue. Due to Britanies insights I went to the skin doctor had everything removed and now I am healing at a normal rate. She is excellent at her job and very gracious. She's always here on time if she isn't she leaves me a text.I'm going to miss her.Also because of her recognizing my needs she was able to assign someone to help provide me a wheelchair.She is very exemplary to have in your company. Thank you for your assistance.
