Honoring Those Who ServedDelivering the Care They Deserve
Comprehensive Veterans Healthcare at Home Across Illinois
At Castor, caring for Veterans is more than a service — it is a commitment to those who have served our nation. We understand that Veterans often face unique medical, physical, and emotional challenges that require more than traditional home care. They need a trusted healthcare partner capable of coordinating every aspect of care while navigating Veterans programs, insurance benefits, and community resources.
Castor is one of the few healthcare organizations in Illinois that provides a fully integrated continuum of Veterans care, bringing together Home Care, Home Health, Private Duty Nursing, Home Medical Equipment, Medical Supplies, Respiratory Care, and Non-Emergency Medical Transportation under one coordinated healthcare system.
Whether a Veteran is recovering after hospitalization, managing a chronic illness, living with a service-connected disability, or requiring long-term support to remain safely at home, Castor delivers personalized, disease-focused care that respects each Veteran's independence, dignity, and sacrifice.
Why Veterans Choose Castor
One Healthcare Partner Throughout Your Journey
Most providers only offer one part of a Veteran's healthcare needs.
The Veteran and family are left trying to coordinate everything.
Castor was built differently. Our integrated healthcare model provides:
One organization.
One care team.
One coordinated plan of care.
A Rare Combination of Veterans Services
Comprehensive Care Across Every Level of Need
Very few healthcare providers are credentialed to deliver Veterans services across multiple healthcare programs. Castor proudly provides Veterans with coordinated access to:
This allows Veterans to continue receiving care from one trusted organization as their healthcare needs evolve — without the disruption of changing providers.
Disease-Based Veterans Care
Care Built Around the Veteran's Medical Condition
No two Veterans have the same healthcare needs. That's why Castor follows a Disease-Based Care Model, ensuring every Veteran receives care specifically designed around their primary diagnosis, functional goals, physician recommendations, and long-term health outcomes.
Our nurses, therapists, caregivers, and care coordinators receive ongoing education focused on managing complex medical conditions commonly experienced by Veterans.
Our specialized programs include:
Supporting Veterans Through Every Stage of Care
Healthcare needs change over time.
Castor's integrated model allows Veterans to transition seamlessly between services without changing providers.
For example:
A Veteran recovering from surgery may begin with Medicare-covered Home Health and later transition to ongoing Home Care.
A Veteran with complex medical needs can receive Private Duty Nursing while continuing personal care services.
Veterans requiring oxygen therapy or specialized equipment receive coordinated delivery through our Home Medical Equipment division.
Hospice patients continue receiving supportive caregiving services while maintaining continuity of care with hospice providers.
