Hospice in Austin since 2014
Our goal is to help patients and families across the Metro Austin area maintain their best quality of life, even when facing a serious illness.

Your benefits include:
- Visits from our hospice team, including hospice-trained nurses (RNs), social worker, chaplain, aides, dietitian and bereavement counselor
- Care coordinated with your doctor
- Home medical equipment, medications and medical supplies
- Nurse aides to help with the tasks of daily living
- Respite care (relief for family caregivers)
- We Honor Veterans certification
- Spiritual support
- Physical, occupational and other therapy services
Whether you live in Austin, Bastrop, San Marcos or the eastern half of the Hill Country, our team will travel to where you live, including nursing facilities, hospitals or your personal home. We also have a location in Round Rock, covering the area north of Austin.

palliative Care
Palliative care is an extra layer of relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness. It focuses on improving quality of life for patients and their families. Care includes help navigating the medical system to ensure care aligns with your goals and values.
Palliative care does not signal that someone is giving up hope for recovery. Support can begin at any stage of an illness, with people moving in and out of care as needed. Talk to your doctor about a referral.
