When someone you love starts needing a little more help at home, you want a caregiver you can trust completely. Castleton is a locally owned home care agency serving Dunwoody: our W-2 caregivers, never contractors, provide personal care, companionship, and overnight support, with a registered nurse overseeing every care plan.
When you invite a caregiver into your parent's home, you are trusting us with the person who matters most. That is why Castleton does things differently: every caregiver is our own W-2 employee, never a contractor. We hire for skill and heart, match your family with a consistent caregiver, and put a registered nurse over every care plan. We are locally owned, never a franchise, and our local team provides 24/7 on-call support.
Dunwoody is a city of deep roots. Nearly nine in ten residents were in the same house a year ago, the highest rootedness of any city we serve. In neighborhoods like Georgetown and Kingsley, the neighbors haven't changed in decades. When a parent starts needing support, leaving that street is the last thing anyone wants, so our caregivers come to them: the same familiar face, someone who becomes part of the routine.
And the team behind that caregiver is local too. When you call Castleton, you talk to people who know Dunwoody Village from Perimeter Center, not a distant call center. From Vermack to the Branches, we help your loved one stay safe, comfortable, and independent in the home they chose.
13.5% of Dunwoody residents are 65 or older, nearly 7,000 neighbors, and the majority of them want to stay right where they are.
89.1% of Dunwoody residents lived in the same house a year ago, the highest rootedness of any city we serve: a community where neighbors stay neighbors for decades.
75% of adults 50 and older want to remain in their current homes as they age, which is exactly what the right support makes possible.
Most families start within a few days of the first call. If you are working around a hospital discharge, share the date and we will build the start of care backward from it, so nobody comes home to an empty house.
All of it, from Dunwoody Village and Georgetown through Kingsley, Vermack, and the Branches. Travel is part of how we staff, so there is never an added trip charge inside our service area.
Three things: every caregiver is our W-2 employee, never a contractor; a registered nurse oversees every care plan; and we are locally owned, not a franchise, so the team you talk to is local.
Yes. Many of our Dunwoody clients come home from Emory Decatur Hospital. Tell us the discharge date and we will coordinate so a caregiver is there from the first day home, with an RN overseeing the care plan.
Almost every family tells us this at first. We pair your parent with a caregiver chosen for personality as well as skill and start with the help that feels easiest to welcome. Trust tends to build fast, and before long most families say the visits are the highlight of the week.
Building a consistent relationship is central to how we work. Your loved one is matched with a primary caregiver chosen for personality as well as skill, and we keep the care team small so the faces at the door stay familiar. That consistency is what lets real trust, and better care, develop.
Yes. Overnight care means a watchful, caring presence through the night: help with bathroom trips, comfort during restless hours, and the reassurance that someone is there.
We don't do the repairs ourselves, but every care plan starts with looking for fall risks in the home, and we point Dunwoody families to DeKalb County's home repair program for seniors when bigger fixes are needed.
