Norcross has been a town longer than almost anywhere else in Gwinnett County. Founded in 1870 around the railroad, its downtown still has the brick storefronts and Victorian homes to prove it. A lot of our clients here have lived in Norcross for decades, in the historic district or in the established subdivisions that grew up around it. Castleton provides private-pay home care across Norcross, so the people who put down roots in one of Gwinnett's oldest cities can keep living where their history is. A steady W-2 caregiver, a small consistent team, RN oversight on every plan, and 24/7 on-call support for your family.
Many of our Norcross clients have lived in the same house for thirty or forty years, some in homes that are over a century old. Aging in a historic home takes a particular kind of care: the stairs are steeper, the upkeep never ends, and leaving isn't on the table. Families choose Castleton because we're locally owned and our caregivers are W-2 employees, not contractors. Your loved one gets a small, consistent team of familiar faces, every plan runs under RN oversight, and there's 24/7 on-call support when something can't wait until morning. We also coordinate around discharges from Northside Hospital Duluth, so the first days home aren't left to chance.
9.6% of Norcross residents are age 65 or older.
59.9% of Norcross homes are owner-occupied.
The signs are usually small before they're big: the home she kept immaculate starting to slip, the garden going untended, or your mom brushing off a stumble on those steep stairs she "doesn't remember." If you're driving over more often just to check in, that's information too. A good first step is an honest conversation about what's getting harder, and we're glad to talk through what we see in homes like your mom's.
Call us as soon as you have a discharge date. We prioritize discharges and will tell you honestly what we can cover and when, with the caregiver briefed on the discharge instructions so the first night home is handled.
Yes, transportation is part of what we do. Doctor visits, follow-up appointments, grocery runs, and trips to senior programs. Your caregiver can stay through the appointment when that's helpful.
Absolutely. The senior center on Georgia Belle Court is right in town, and plenty of our clients love the weekday programs but stopped going when driving got harder. A caregiver can drive your mom there, stay or come back for pickup, and help her keep the routine that keeps her connected.
Yes, and our clients love this one. The concerts and events at Thrasher Park and through the downtown streets are a real bright spot, and a caregiver can drive your dad over, stay with him through the event, and get him home safely after.
