The recognition of A Place At Home – North Austin with the Best of Round Rock Award for the second consecutive year highlights the critical role of trusted, relationship-based senior care in Williamson and Travis Counties. This award, determined by nearly 50,000 community participants, underscores the agency's commitment to providing dignified in-home care for seniors, veterans, and adults with disabilities across Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and Austin.
The repeated honor follows significant community engagement, including a new Round Rock office and collaborations with the ShareTheWill Foundation to supply power wheelchairs for local veterans. Co-owners Stacey and Bryan Eisenberg founded the agency with a mission to "put care back into caregiving," blending professional expertise with local involvement. Stacey's background includes advocacy for older adults through roles with the Alzheimer’s Association, Adult Protective Services Volunteer Board, and Aging Services Council, while Bryan contributes as a Round Rock Chamber Ambassador and host of the Rock Solid Round Rock Podcast, spotlighting community leaders.
A key aspect of the agency's impact is its specialized dementia and Alzheimer’s programs, where caregivers receive advanced training led by Stacey and her team. The continuity-of-care model ensures clients see familiar faces, promoting comfort and confidence at home with flexible shifts ranging from 2 hours to 24/7 care. This approach addresses the growing need for reliable dementia support as populations age, reducing stress for families and enhancing quality of life for seniors.
Community initiatives extend beyond direct care, exemplified by the partnership with the ShareTheWill Foundation, which has provided over 30 power mobility chairs to veterans. This effort, part of the "Community Compassion in Action" program, demonstrates how home care agencies can address broader social needs, combining clinical insight with heartfelt support. Details on this initiative can be found at https://www.aplaceathome.com/north-austin. The agency's expansion includes a dedicated training lab for caregivers, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality service through ongoing education and local partnerships.
For families and the broader community, this award signals the importance of reliable, compassionate care in an era of increasing senior populations. It emphasizes how community-driven models can foster trust and improve outcomes, setting a benchmark for home care providers. The recognition not only validates the agency's methods but also encourages other organizations to prioritize relationship-building and community involvement, potentially influencing industry standards and public expectations for elder care.
