Alzheimer’s and DementiaCare at Home
Specialized Memory Care | 24/7 & Structured Support
Support may be available around the clock, including 24/7 care arrangements, based on the individual’s needs, eligibility, service area, and plan of care.
Compassionate Support. Specialized Training. Greater Peace of Mind.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia can become increasingly challenging as memory, behavior, mobility, and personal-care needs change. Castor Home Nursing provides coordinated skilled home health and non-medical support designed to help individuals remain safe, comfortable, and connected—whether they live at home, with family, or in a community setting.
As a committed supporter of Sterling, Illinois, and the surrounding communities, Castor brings together trained clinicians, caregivers, home health aides, and community partners to deliver personalized care with dignity, patience, and compassion.
Alzheimer's Care Centered on the Individual
Alzheimer's disease affects every person differently. That is why Castor begins with an assessment of the individual's health, daily routines, cognitive abilities, safety concerns, living environment, and family priorities. We develop a personalized care approach that may address:
Our goal is to support the person — not simply the diagnosis — while helping families plan for changing care needs.
Skilled and Non-Skilled Care Working Together
Castor's coordinated care model brings skilled clinical services and non-medical assistance together when appropriate. This provides families with a more complete support system and helps reduce gaps between clinical treatment and everyday care.
Skilled Home Health Services
When ordered by an authorized healthcare provider and supported by medical necessity, skilled services may include:
Non-Medical and Personal Care Support
Based on the service plan and applicable program requirements, caregivers or home health aides may assist with:
This integrated approach allows clinical needs and daily living needs to be addressed through one coordinated care relationship.
Support at Home and in Community Settings
Alzheimer's care is not limited to a private residence. Castor can also work with families and community-based care settings when an individual requires additional support. Depending on the setting, care plan, and applicable regulations, Castor may provide:
When Castor provides both skilled and non-skilled services, responsibilities are clearly defined and coordinated to promote continuity, communication, and patient safety.
Support That Can Adapt as Needs Change
Alzheimer's disease is progressive, and care needs may change over time. Castor's team regularly evaluates the care plan and communicates with the family and healthcare providers when additional support may be needed. Available care arrangements may include:
The frequency and type of service are determined by the assessment, authorized plan of care, payer requirements, caregiver availability, and the person's preferences.
Specialized Education Through Castor Health Institute
High-quality dementia care requires more than general caregiving experience. Through Castor Health Institute, caregivers, home health aides, nurses, and other care professionals can strengthen their knowledge through classroom instruction, skills-lab practice, and Alzheimer's-focused education. Training topics may include:
This training helps expand the pool of caregivers and home health professionals prepared to serve individuals with Alzheimer's disease throughout Sterling and neighboring communities.
A Partner for Families and Care Teams
Families should not have to navigate Alzheimer's care alone. Castor works with the individual's physicians, family members, caregivers, facilities, and community resources to create a coordinated support system. Our approach is built around five commitments:
