Hospice Austin is a
non-profit organization that serves terminally ill and bereaved persons in
Central Texas with integrity, compassion and respect. We have been serving
the community with our multi-cultural, multi-linqual staff for over 30
years. Because we are one of the most experienced
hospices in Texas, we are respected leaders in hospice and palliative care.
We offer a full range of
health care services including pre-hospice assistance, medical and nursing care,
spiritual and emotional support, social work, personal care, special therapies,
and volunteer  and bereavement services.
Our services are designed to improve comfort, manage symptoms and deal
with other difficulties such as emotional distress and grief. 
Hospice Austin also
provides important emotional and spiritual support to families and friends as
they cope with caring for a loved one with an advanced illness and the grief
they experience after their loved one dies. We offer caregiving
support groups, bereavement support groups, individual counseling, family
programs, and a free summer camp for children grieving the loss of a
loved one.
Thousands of terminally ill
patients and their families have experienced the high standards of
compassionate care provided by the staff and volunteers of Hospice Austin. In 2002, Hospice Austin won the inaugural
Ethics in Business Award conferred by the Samaritan Center and St. Edward’s
University.
We care for all who need and
seek our care in Austin and Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell counties,
regardless of age, diagnosis, or ability to pay. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are Medicare
Certified.
