Hospice Austin
Hospice Austin is a Medicare-certified hospice provider serving Austin, Texas and surrounding areas. A Medicare-certified hospice provides comfort care and support services to patients with terminal illnesses and their families. Hospice care focuses on quality of life rather than curative treatment.
Hospice care is available to patients whose physician certifies they have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients may receive hospice care at home, in a hospice facility, nursing home, or hospital.
Medicare-certified hospices must provide all four levels of hospice care: routine home care, continuous home care for periods of crisis, general inpatient care for symptom management, and inpatient respite care to give caregivers a break. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers.
Medicare covers hospice services with no cost to patients for most services, including medications for symptom control, medical equipment, and 24-hour access to care. For more information about hospice benefits, visit Medicare.gov. Compare hospice providers at Medicare Care Compare.
Quality data and provider information are updated periodically by CMS. We recommend verifying current information at Medicare Care Compare.

Hospice Austin and Christopher House were an absolute godsend and salve to a very difficult time. We interviewed multiple hospices and decided on Hospice Austin. They came highly recommended from MD Anderson and we had multiple comments along the way - from our medical equipment delivery people down to our cremation company - who all said they are the best to work with. Our nurse, Katie, was so incredibly kind and gentle. Whenever we needed anything - at any hour - we would be responded to quickly. We used Christopher House as a transition point when my mother left MD Anderson and then in her final hours as we needed a medication change. We also appreciated that Christopher House doesn't feel clinical and they have many kind volunteers throughout the day. Hospice Austin has checked in with us along the way and post my mother's passing, always ensuring we had every ounce of support they could give. The doctor signed off on her death paperwork right away, which allowed us to remove one stressor off of our plates - apparently, not all doctors/facilities are so swift. If you are in need of hospice for a loved one, you can't go wrong here. We wanted a hospice that had a facility if needed, and that was the right choice for us.
Hospice Austin was tremendously helpful to my mother and to our family. Every person I interacted with was kind, professional, compassionate. My family and I are very grateful for the services that we received.
Hospice Austin’s Christopher House cared for my Mother in April 2024. All the staff including Doctors, nurses, and volunteers provided excellent care. My sisters and I could not have asked for a better place or group of people to have taken care of our Mother and us during this very difficult time. If you or your family is in a situation that your loved one needs hospice I would recommend Hospice Austin’s Christopher House. You would never be able to find a better place.
Thank you for your story about the beautiful 15 year old girl who had the best day ever,her favorite band comes to see and sing with her was the best video ever. May she rest in Jesus arms and my condolences go to her family and friends and thank you nurses at the facility who took care of this beautiful precious angel for 9 months and all you do with everybody else what you guys do is a blessing to all of us.
Chirtopher House (Hospice Austin) is a magical place. It is loving, peaceful, serene, and reassuring. In fact it is so perfect that I can only hope to be there or in a similar place when it will be my turn.
