When a doctor first mentions hospice, many families aren’t sure what to think. It can feel like a door closing. At CareFor, we believe it’s the beginning of a different kind of support, one built around comfort, presence, and peace of mind. That’s why we’re proud to bring CareFor Hospice to the Greater Austin area.
With over 25 years of experience delivering exceptional care across Central Texas, we understand how to support families navigating the complexities of aging, illness, and injury. CareFor Hospice is built on the belief that frequent visits, clear communication, and a deeply consistent care team ensures that patients and families are supported in meaningful and reliable ways during one of life’s most important transitions.
CareFor Hospice provides comprehensive symptom management, emotional support, caregiver education, and 24/7 on-call clinical coverage with our team of highly trained nurses, social workers, chaplains, aides, and volunteers. This level of engagement allows our team to respond proactively, manage symptoms earlier, and provide a steady, reassuring presence in the face of uncertainty for both patients and families.
“What makes our hospice team exceptional is not just their clinical expertise, but the way they take ownership of the entire experience for each family,” said Catherine Vergara, CEO of CareFor. “They don’t wait to be called, they anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and show up consistently in ways that truly make a difference.”
We are grounded in the belief that clear, direct, and honest communication helps families better understand what is happening, what to expect, and how to make informed decisions. Through our commitment to transparency, we replace confusion with clarity, allowing families to feel more confident and prepared at every stage of life. We take the time to familiarize ourselves with preferences, routines, and goals, building trust, fostering meaningful relationships, and allowing care to be delivered with greater insight and intention.
Our hospice care in Central Texas is available to individuals with a life expectancy of six months or less, as certified by a physician, and whose health is declining due to a terminal illness. Often misunderstood, hospice represents a shift in focus toward comfort, dignity, and quality of life while also equipping families with the tools and support needed for all stages of decline.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
CareFor Hospice is now accepting patients in the Austin area. If you’re wondering whether hospice might be the right fit for your loved one, we’re here to help you navigate that conversation.
