Hospice

Choosing Comfort and Dignity

With over 20 years of experience in senior care, CareFor specializes in helping clients feel safe, supported, and at home—at every stage of life. When hospice becomes appropriate, you or your loved one won’t be handed off to a new provider. Instead, we offer a seamless transition that prioritizes continuity of care, ensuring the relationships and routines you trust remain in place.

Hospice is about shifting the focus of care to comfort, quality of life, and meaningful time together. CareFor currently provides Hospice care in Austin, Texas.

What Is Hospice Care?

Hospice is a form of palliative care for those who choose to stop curative treatments and instead focus on symptom management, comfort care, and pain relief.

For those who qualify, Medicare covers hospice care in full, with no deductible. Commercial insurance plans may also cover hospice services.

Working with a Hospice Team means you have access to several types of care and support. This includes regular nursing visits (1–2 times per week) for medical oversight and symptom management; Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) visits (3–5 times per week) for personal care and daily support; chaplain visits every few weeks for spiritual and emotional guidance; social worker visits for counseling and help navigating resources; all necessary medications, medical supplies, and durable medical equipment to ensure comfort at home; and volunteer support, as requested, for companionship and caregiver respite.

Our Approach

The CareFor Difference

What sets CareFor apart is our commitment to relationship-based care. Hospice is an extension of the support we already provide, and we build your care plan around your changing needs, not around rigid systems.

You won’t lose the caregivers you’ve come to trust. Instead, your care evolves with you, guided by people who already know and understand you. We coordinate closely with families, physicians, and care teams to ensure communication is smooth, compassionate, and responsive.

Is it time for Hospice care?

If you’re unsure whether hospice is the right step, you’re not alone. Many families come to us with questions, not answers. Whether you’ve been referred by a healthcare provider or are exploring care options on your own, we’re here to help you navigate what’s next.

Hospice does not replace care it enhances it. Your loved one will receive more support, more comfort, and more time focused on what matters most. If you’re seeing signs like repeated hospitalizations, increased care needs, or a decline in quality of life, it may be time to talk with our team.

Our team will walk alongside you to understand your unique situation and help determine the right level of support. Hospice care isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we offer several levels of care designed to meet changing needs with compassion and flexibility:

Routine Home Care
Ongoing support in the comfort of home, focused on managing symptoms, easing discomfort, and providing emotional care through regular visits.

Continuous Home Care
Around-the-clock care during medical crises to help avoid hospitalization, manage symptoms, and keep your loved one safe and supported at home.

Respite Care
Short-term, in-patient care that gives family caregivers time to rest and recharge with confidence that your loved one is in expert hands.

General Inpatient Care
24/7 medical support in a facility setting to manage complex or severe symptoms. A safe, peaceful space for both patients and their loved ones during critical moments.

We’re here to walk with you, answer your questions, and provide the clarity you need.

A Trusted Leader for In-Home Care

I really appreciate the caregivers that CareFor has sent to help with my uncle. They are all each so capable, experienced, and confident about seeing what’s needed and doing it, not to mention gentle and wonderful to talk with.
– Cathy, Niece of Client

Our care manager has been a huge help several times over already. I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have someone as skilled and talented coordinating my grandmother’s care. So, long story short, things are going quite well.
– Chris, Grandson of Client

CareFor was there for me for a serious health concern. I was sinking fast, but with my care manager’s coordination and care, I was able to get my surgery, get therapy, and get on the road to healing.
– Andrew, Client

My mother has dementia, and it’s nearly impossible to reach Medicare or Medicaid. The situation is very stressful, but CareFor has handled everything. I’ve only had positive outcomes so far. They’re extremely responsive and helpful. It’s life-changing because my mother is in a great place and because of them she can stay in that great place!
– Laura, Daughter of Client

I first met with CareFor in January 2019. My parents had dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. They needed to move from their home and we did not know where they should go or what help was available. CareFor helped me for the last 4 ½ years as my parents have declined. They have moved to 3 different facilities in 3 cities. I cannot imagine going through the last several years without their care manager by my side.
– Lisa, Daughter of Client

Thank you for your time, patience, skills, and general charming attitude. Your report is a gift to us all. I shared it with our kids and printed a copy for my husband and I to review together. It seems to me that you addressed all our current difficulties and potential problems with suggestions that are within our power to try.
– Sally, Wife of Client

I cannot express in enough words how invaluable CareFor has been to my family. When we decided to move out of state with a growing family and attempting a guardianship long distance, I was very worried about how I would be able to continue care for my father’s needs. We have found CareFor so invaluable and supportive that we are discussing a professional guardianship. CareFor has allowed my family to find harmony and balance with caring for my father’s needs without putting our lives on hold. I would give them 10 stars out of 5!
– Calysta, Daughter of Client

CareFor provided care and care management for my grandmother over the last 3+ years of her life. They were repeatedly “fired” but kept showing up with compassion and care after the dust settled. With CareFor’s help, we were able to honor her final wish to age in place and pass in her home that she loved so much. My family could never have made it through that season without CareFor’s help.
– Tori, Granddaughter of Client

CareFor is a lifesaver! It uniquely provides Medical Power of Attorney and Guardianship services that many people need. From childless couples to those with children who are unreliable, there is a need for this service that is growing. I am grateful that CareFor is available to me and my husband. It gives us tremendous peace of mind.
– Marcia, Client

The caregivers at CareFor handled his daily living needs for medical and nutritional oversight while at the same time providing regular companionship and human contact, particularly during the difficult isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The caregivers were essential in emergency situations when we could not respond from so far away. Having CareFor as partners in our brother’s care allowed us to be sisters first, knowing that his daily living needs were in capable, caring hands.
– Jo and Jane, Sisters of Client

Our care manager was a calming force during a family storm. She knew how to attain the goal we had set. I still don’t know how she did it, but it has made a huge difference during a very tough time.
– Midge, Wife of Client

My parents relied on CareFor for many years. That relationship not only extended their independence, but provided us with a sense of peace—we knew they were well cared for. Thank you, CareFor!
– Alex, Daughter of Client

For almost ten years, CareFor has played an integral role in helping my family care for our loved one. CareFor’s team of thoughtful, passionate, and talented professionals provide the highest level of service, and they are trusted partners in navigating the complexities that often accompany guardianship. At every step, CareFor provides excellent care and service, and gives our family peace of mind to live our lives without undue concern or fear for our loved one’s well-being.
– Dixon, Son of Client

CareFor helped me take care of my loved one through many stages in the last five years of her life. CareFor helped with everything from planning, to a little bit of in-home support, to providing companions for socialization, shopping, and cleaning, to more intense in-home care. CareFor offers the complete package of support. I recommend them to everyone I know.
