Overview of Golden Years Castle Group Home Care

Golden Years Castle Group Home Care offers assisted living and residential care in Reno’s West University neighborhood. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while residents maintain their own living space, while residential care provides around-the-clock care and assistance in a home setting. With eight beds, the home has a small community feel that may suit someone who prefers a less crowded setting.

Established in 2003, Golden Years Castle Group Home Care is administered by Jr Jose Castillo. A doctor is on staff, and rehabilitation services are available for residents who need that support. Respite care is also offered for short stays, giving a family caregiver temporary coverage while traveling or recovering.

Staff prepare home-cooked meals in the dining room. Residents have 24-hour security, and around-the-clock staffing means assistance is available at any time of day or night. The home may be a good fit for someone who needs help with daily tasks, ongoing care in a home setting, rehabilitation support, or a smaller residential environment.
